Question

What is wrong?

6. Phytates are found in meat.

7. Ceruloplasmin transports iron.

8. There is an increased excretion of zinc during stress and high carbohydrate intake.

9. Copper is needed to need to change thyroxine (T4) to triiodothyronine (T4).

10. A deficiency of molybdenum resembles Parkinson’s disease.

Answer 1

6. Wrong because-

Phytic acid is only found in plant-derived foods.

All edible seeds, grains, legumes and nuts contain it in varying quantities, and small amounts are also found in roots and tubers.

7. Wrong because-

Ceruloplasmin is an enzyme (EC 1.16. ... Ceruloplasmin exhibits a copper-dependent oxidase activity, which is associated with possible oxidation of Fe2+ (ferrous iron) into Fe3+ (ferric iron), therefore assisting in its transport in the plasma in association with transferrin, which can carry iron only in the ferric state.

8. Wrong because- A number of studies have reported that zinc plays a substantial role in the development of metabolic syndrome, taking part in the regulation of cytokine expression, suppressing inflammation, and is also required to activate antioxidant enzymes that scavenge reactive oxygen species, reducing oxidative stress. Zinc also plays a role in the correct functioning of lipid and glucose metabolism, regulating and forming the expression of insulin. In numerous studies, zinc supplementation has been found to improve blood pressure, glucose, and LDL cholesterol serum level. Deeper knowledge of zinc’s properties may help in treating metabolic syndrome, thus protecting against stroke and angina pectoris, and ultimately against death

Gastrointestinal diseases including ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, short bowel syndrome and chronic diarrhoea. Chronic liver disease. Chronic kidney disease. Alcohol dependency (decreases zinc absorption and increases urinary zinc excretion)

9. Wrong because- The function of the thyroid gland is to take iodine, found in many foods, and convert it into thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid cells are the only cells in the body which can absorb iodine.

10. Wrong because- Low molybdenum levels have been associated with impotency. ... Excessive dietary intake of grains, seeds, and legumes rich in molybdenum can cause deposits in soft tissues and joints, and trigger arthritic symptoms.
