Discuss how the basic units of carbohydrate, protein and lipid are utilized in energy pathways to produce energy in the body. What are the differences and similarities? 2. It has long been known that a minimum amount of carbohydrate must be present in the diet to spare protein (muscle mass). In terms of energy metabolism, why is it also critical that a minimum number of carbohydrates be present to facilitate energy metabolism? *There is an important compound that can only be generated by having carbohydrates in the diet. What is it? * 3. In a state of starvation, several changes happen within our bodies. Talk about these metabolic changes and discuss the importance of interventions such as IV glucose and tube feedings for hospital patients that are severely sick and unable to eat

Explain how and why a low-carbohydrate diet forces your body into ketosis and describe ketosis. Detail what kind of weight loss occurs initially | and some of the side effects this might present. Describe the pros and cons and discuss the biochemical effects this might have on overall metabolism and body composition over the long run. For example: why and how does losing protein (muscle) mass in response to decreases in carbohydrate affect metabolism and how might this protein loss affect muscle injury, muscle recovery after exercise and other vital protein functions in the body, such as the immune and blood cell production system?
