Question

On a tour of African countries, Mark contracts a bad case of traveler's diarrhea. Because he can't eat very much, his body starts to use energy sources other than carbohydrates. This would result in all of the following, except:_________

a. increased levels of urea in the blood
b. ketosis and a decreased blood pH
c. increased gluconeogenesis in the liver
d. lipid metabolism
e. glycogensis

Answer 1

e. glycogensis

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in the question it is mentioned that Mark had a bad case with diarrhea due to which he is not able to eat much and his body also starts consuming energy sources by not considering the carbohydrates

This would result in rise level of urea, ketosis and decline in blood, gluconeogenesis in the liver is also increased, and there is a lipid metabolism

but there is the absence of glycogenesis

hence, the e option is correct
