(36 cards)
Define good nutrition
1 controls energy balance 2 provide nutrient density 3 Acheive health, body como, performance 4 outcome based 5 sustain planet
What are 5 major Limiting factors ?
- genetic makeup
- Physical activity patterns -commit purposeful intense exercise
- Physiology
- mindset
- nutrition
Body composition
Relarionship Bertie. Lean mass (bone body water muscle mass) and fat mass
Law of thermodynamics
Energy exchange principle regarding heat exchange and work:
Energy balances:
Positive : more energy in than out( weight gain )
Negative: more energy out than in (weight loss)
Insulin resistance
Condition normal amounts of hormone Insulin are inadequate to produce normal response from fat muscle liver cells
Calorie density
Energy per unit food ,
high C -dense foods provide many cal in small portion
Low C-dense foods fewer cal in larger portion
Metabolism
Sum of reactions take place to build up and break down body
Homeostasis
Reproduction , replace, repair- state of balanced stable function
Protein
Consists of amino acids contain nitrogen
Epithelial tissue
Composed of cellular layers protect outer surfaces human skin
Proteins, fats, carbohydrates
Macronutrients
Vitamins and minerals
Micronutrients
Plant chemicals
Phytonutrients
Non protein compound interacts with another substance to facilitate transformation
Cofactors
Contains isothiocyanates that switch off gene in liver that detoxifies cancer causing chemical
Broccoli
8 parts of cell
1 plasma membrane 2 cytoplasm 3 lysosomes 4 mitochondria 5 Golgi apparatus 6 peroxisome 7 endoplasmic reticulum 8 nucleus
Lipid bilayer permeable separates cell from neighbors, also made of proteins and cholesterol
Plasma membrane
Make up plasma membrane , insoluble in water messenger function
Lipid
Phospholipid
Phosphate heads and fatty acid tail
- heads are hydrophilic (water loving )
- tails are hydrophobic (water fearing ) bond to fat based molecules
Fats influence on cells membrain
Fluidity and flexibility
Sat fat makes tight rigid
Polyunsaturated makes fluid
Internal fluid of cell
Cytosol
Mitochondria
Supply atp energy to cell
- convert carb, fat, protein into energy
- 95 % bodies energy
- atp generation happens inner membrain - folds called cristae
Reactive oxygen species
Substances formed byproduct of metabolism highly reactive because of un paired electron
When oxygen is consumed in Production of atp these are formed
Damage dna
Free radical
Orginized structure of dna contains genes of organism
Chromosome
