Q

What is the importance of carbohydrates (4)

A
  • Most important source of energy

Q

Function of protein and the basic structure

A
  • Repair and maintain the body

- Basic structure is a chain of amino acids

17
Q

How do proteins work (3)

A
  • Proteins are digested
  • Amino acids are left over
  • Large amounts of amino acids break down food
18
Q

What is anabolism

A

-Building larger molecules from smaller materials and requires energy

19
Q

How is energy used for anabolism (Aminos, carbs, fats)

A
  • Amino acids -> Make muscle
  • Carbs -> Make glucose
  • Fats -> Make adipose tissue
20
Q

3 main types of amino acids

A
  • Essential
  • Nonessential
  • Conditional
21
Q

What’s important about essential amino acids (3)

A
  • Can’t be made by the body
  • Must come from food
  • Dont need to all come from 1 meal
22
Q

What is important about nonessential amino acids

A

They are made by the body

23
Q

What is important about conditional amino acids

A

Essential in times of illness and stress

24
Q

What are the functions of mineral/electrolytes (3)

A
  • Build bones
  • Make hormones
  • Regulate heartbeat
25
What are the 2 types of minerals and the quantity needed
- Macrominerals- Large amounts | - Trace minerals- Smaller amounts
26
Name 4 of the 7 macrominerals
- Calcium - Phosphorous - Magnesium - Sodium - Potassium - Chloride - Sulfur
27
Name 5 of the 8 trace minerals
- Iron - Manganese - Copper - Iodine - Zinc - Cobalt - Fluoride - Selenium
28
What is the role of vitamins and the most important one
- Help the body grow and develop | - Thiamine (B-1)
29
What is the importance of Thiamine (B-1) (2)
- Convert carbs to energy | - Assist heart, muscles and nervous system
30
What is Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome
If D50 is given to fast it can cause dysrhythmias, seizures or death
31
What is another name of the TCA cycle
Kreisler cycle
32
What is the role of ATP and its importance
- Energy released from a catabolic reaction is stored in an ATP molecule - The stored energy is used to create anabolic reations
33
What are ATP and ADP
- Adenosine Triphosphate | - Adenosine Diphosphate
