(35 cards)
Disaccharides
Sucrose (table sugar), maltose, lactose (milk sugar)
Monosaccharides
Glucose, fructose, galactose
Polysaccharides (complex carbs)
Starch, glycogen, cellulose
Lipids
Fat (solid), oil (liquids)
Neutral fats (triglycerides)
Fatty acids and glycerol.
Cholesterol
Complex lipid-soluble, stable molecule.
Phospholipids
Two fatty acids bound with phosphorous
Essential fatty acids
Polyunsaturated lipid chains obtainable through the diet
Proteins
Long chains of amino acids in a specific order
Amino acids are either…..
Essential (must be obtained in the diet) or non-essential (can be synthesized by the body.)
Complete proteins - def and examples.
Foods with contain all essential amino acids. (Like milk, meats, eggs, a grain plus a bean.)
Vitamins
Large, complex organic molecules needed by body cells but not synthesized (made) by cells.
Vitamins - source
Plans or animals.
Fat soluble vitamins
D-E-A-K
Water soluble vitamins
C+b vitamins
Antioxidant vitamins
A, c, e
Minerals
Inorganic elements needed by body cells.
Major minerals (bone components)
Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium.
Trace minerals
Only tiny amounts are needed..like iron, iodine, zinc, etc
Metabolism
Study of chemical reactions involved in producing and storing energy, synthesizing compounds, and regulating these.
Anabolism
Reactions that build up large molecules from smaller ones
Catabolism
Reactions that break down molecules into smaller ones
Coupled reactions
Using energy releases from catabolic reactions to drive anabolic reactions
Glycolysis -
Enzymatic catabolism of glucose
