Q

vitamin C

A

antioxidant=DNA
help absorb iron
source=orange, strawberry
COOKING REDUCE VITAMIN C

21
Vitamin B
memory nervous system health reproductive health reduce inflammation B12= making red blood cells=can only get from animals being a vegeterian has negative effect
21
are carbohydartes stored in body?
not for a long time
22
CARBOHYDATES(MONOSACCHARİDES)
monomers: glucose fructose galactose
23
CARBOHYDRATES(DISAC)
sucrose =table sugar (glucose+fructose) lactose=milk sugar maltose=malt sugar
24
CARBO(POLY)
STORAGE IMPORTANT FOR DRUG DELİVERY starch cellulose glycogen
25
STARCH
store carbohydates polymers of glucose amylase or amlspech =stored in plant based
26
CELLULOSE
primary component of cell wall of green plants we cannot digest feeling full
27
GLYCOGEN
polymers of glucose stored in tissue muscle liver store excess glucose as glycogen
28
functions of carbs
break down for fuel all body cells can use glucose NERVE CELLS IN BRAIN SPINAL CORD AND PERIPEHRAL SYSTEM ONLY USE GLUCOSE breaking dorn glucose= ATP
29
ATP made up of...
ribose adenine phosphate
30
energy equation
C6H12o& + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
31
LIPIDS
16% of the body hydrophobic compunds= fuel MOST TRIGLYCERIDES
32
TRIGILYCERIDS
glycerol+ 3 fatty acid chains known as FAT energy storage thermal insulation cushion
33
Phosopholipids are...
compounds of membranes
34
streoids
a lipid type hydro carbon rings=cholesterol
35
CHOLESTEROL
for bile acids and help emulsify dietary fats for hormones= estrogen, testosterone cell membrane= help regulate, flow of substances into and out of the cell
36
OMEGA3
polysaturated fats essential fats that body cant make=from food integral part of cell membranes affect cell receptors in membrane starting point for hormones that regulate blood clotting, construction and relaxation of artery walls
37
omega 3 prevents...
heart diseases stroke eczema cancer lower blood pressure
38
alpha-linalenic acid (ALA)
uses for energy vegetable oil nuts flax ssed
38
protein structural functions
keratin in epidermis of skin that protect tissue collagen in dermis of skin bones and meninges that cover brain and spinal cord in cell membranes=transport electrolytes in and out of the cell=ions healthy balance
38
eicosopentaoneic acid(EPA)+ docosahetaenoic acid(DTA)
type of oemga 3 from fish
38
proteins
monomers=amino acid 20 types amino acid sequence and shape determine proteins shape %16
38
RNA
used in protein synthesis
38
protein functional functions
digestive enzymes in digestive tract antibodies neurotransmitters peptide based hormones=growth hormone
38
nucleic acids monomer
nucleotides
38
nucleic acids have...
1 or more phosphate group
39
DNA
present in mitaochondria no uracil choloroplast has own DNA=photosynthesis
39
lipid types
triglycerides phospholipids streol
40
gluten is a
protein
41
brain can shrink in size without water
true
42
respiration consumes water
true
43
thirst center of the brain
hypothalamus(regulates sodium in the body)
44
how is cellulose digested?
hydrolize the cellulose into smaller carbohydrates like glucose the leftover carbohydrates are fermented microbes in ruben are the real stars
45
too much fructose leads to...
leptin resistance, obesity
46
too much sugar...
stored in the liver or turned to fat
