What is apparent digestibility?
Apparent digestibility is the percentage of feed retained by an animal. This can be calculated by measuring amount of feed intake and amount of fecal excretions and using the following equation: ((nutrient intake - fecal excretions) / nutrient intake) X 100% *Feed intake and fecal excretions are usually measured by weight.
What is the recommended nutrient intake value set for nutrient which no RDA can be determined?
Adequate Intake (AI)
What does Lower reference nutrient intake mean?
nutrient intake means all the nutrients you are intaking on a regular bases
What if a Nutrient does not have a Tolerable Upper Intake Level?
If the nutrient does not have a tolerable upper intake level it means it does not have a maximum amount of that can be taken before damage occurs. Any nutrient that has a tolerable upper intake level is one you can overdose on or take too much of the nutrient. Much like potassium which can be deadly but vitamin c does not have an upper intake level.
What does Marasmus develop from?
Inadequate energy and protein intake (or nutrient intake overall)
What would be a primary nutrient deficiency?
primary nutrient deficiency is caused by lack of intake of said nutrient (deficiency is caused by not consuming the nutrient in adequate amounts)
What cellular responses can be altered by food intake?
A. Protein synthesis B. Insulin release C. Glucose uptake D. Nutrient transport E. All of the above E. All of the above Things like insulin release, glucose uptake, blood glucose, glucagon release, satiety hormones, enzyme release, nutrient transport, protein synthesis, excretion, and elimination are just a few of the cellular responses altered by food intake.
What does the tolerable upper intake level of nutrient represent?
This is the maximum amount of a nutrient that can be consumed without adverse effects. It is not a target figure; it is an upper limit.
What does L.R.N.I stand for?
It can stand for Lower Reference Nutrient Intake.
What causes deficiency diseases?
because of low nutrient intake
How do photosyntesis and sellular respiration complement each other?
Photosynthesis happens in the day, and involves the intake of CO2 and excretion of O2. Respiration happens in the night, and involves the intake of O2 and the excretion of CO2. They opposite, and therefore compliment each other, as they are balanced
Depletion of body fluid that results when water excretion exceeds water intake is called?
dehydration
