Q

primary function of proteins

A

build and repair body tissues
made possible by provision of the correct type and number of amino acids
as cells r catabolized and amino acids are released into blood they are anabolized (recycling!)how

Q

what are incomplete proteins

A

those lacking one or more essential amino acids

incomplete proteins cant. build tissue wo help of other proteins

value increases when eaten in combination w another incomplete protein during the same day - when this occurs protein are called complementary proteins

25
nonessential amino acids
alanine arginine asparagine aspartic acid cysteine glutamic acid glutamine glycine histidien proline serine tyrosine
26
what are amino acids that are essential during childhood only
arginine histidine arginine histidine
27
what do all amino acids contain
chemical backbone of a carbon atom amine group which contain nitrogen acid group side group
28
what does HCL due regarding proteins
prepares stomach so enyme pepsine can reduce proteins to polypeptides
29
what three pancreatix enzymes continue polypeptide digestion
trypsin chymotrypsin carboxypeptidase
30
what is deamination
amino acids are broken down and nitrogen-containing amine group is stripped off produced ammonia which is released into the bloodstream by the cells liver picks up ammonia, converts it to urea, then return to bloodstream for the kidneys to filter out and excrete remaining parts are used for energy r converted to carb or fat and stored as glycogen or adipose tissue
31
what determines protein requirements
size, age, sex, physical and emotioal codition
32
when are extra protein reqiures
after surgery severe birns during infection to replace lost tissue and manufacture antibodies emotional trauma can cause body to excrete nitrogen than it normally does thus inc need for protein foods
33
avg adult daily requirement for protein

44
long-term high protein can cause
colon cancer high calcium excretion (deplete bon of calcium and may contribute to osteoporosis) may ingore essential fruits and veg access protein could = more demands on liver and kidneys
45
CDC protein intake req ___ Of one's daily cal intake
10-35%
46
what is positive itrogen balalnce
intake of nitrigne exceeds amt excreted new tissue being formed, pregnancy, children growingyears, athletes develop additional muscle tissue, tissue rebuilt after physical trauma
47
what is negtive nitrogen balance
indicate protein is being lost my be caused by fevers, injury, surgery, burins, starvation or immobilization
48
what happens in protein deficiency
mujscle wasting will occur arms and legs become very thing albumin deficiency will cause edema loose appetite, strength, and weight and wounds my heal slowly if edema then letharigc and depressed, seen in grossly neglected children or in lederly, poor, or incapicatedwhat i
49
what is protein energh malnutritio n
lack both protein and energy-rich foods common in developingcountries children lacking sufficient proteins don't grow to potential size infants born to mothers eating insufficient proteins during pregnancy can have permanently impaired mental capacities
50
what is marasmus
severe malnutrition young children and adults lacking energy and protein foods and vitamin minerals emaciated ut no edema hair is dull and dry skin is thin and wrinkled
51
what is kwashiorkor
suddent or recent lack of protein-containing foods (like in famine) causes fat to accumulate in liver and lack of protein and hormones = edema = painful skin lesions = changes in pigment of skin and hair mortality rate is high
52
differences between marasmus and kwashiorkor
marasmus - total surface fat and mid arm circumference decreased, weight decreased, albumin WNL or decreased, immune function normal, dull, dry hair, emaciated wrinkled appearance, lack of protein and total energy kwashiorkor - TSD and MAC WNL - weight possiblyWNL - visceral protein decreased - immune function decreased - reddish color hair - puffy appearance - edema
53
what acconuts for more than half ofthe body's protein
Skeletal muscle accounts for more than half of body protein
54
what percent of protein is lost every day?
3%
55
how does body use proteins
our body must digest and absorb the food protein you eat so that it can make body protein. When you eat a food protein, stomach acids present in the stomach denature the protein. As the protein is denatured, it unfolds and becomes more accessible to enzymes. The enzymes in the stomach begin breaking down pro-tein molecules into shorter strands of amino acids and single amino acids. The strands vary in length from two amino acids (called dipeptides), to three amino acids (called tripeptides), to some longer strands. The single amino acids, dipeptides, tripeptides, and longer strands move into the small intestine. In the small intestine, the cells lining the intestinal walls fin-ish splitting the di-and tripeptides and absorb them along with the single amino acids. The amino acids are then released into the bloodstream. The blood carries these amino acids to body cells that need them. The cells use these single amino acids to assemble new proteins as needed.
