Q

Production of energy

A

Glucose hold too much energy for the body to handle that’s why the body must break it down to 36 ATP

18
Q

Harris Benedict equation

A

Used to determine resting metabolic rate

19
Q

Protein is organ specific

A

Muscle protein differs from brain protein

20
Q

Protein is ingested and broken down into amino acids

A

Humans have 20 amino acids; 11 are produced in the body and 9 amino acids at econsidered a s essential

21
Q

Complete proteins

A

Contain 20 amino acids

EG: meat cheese eggs

22
Q

Incomplete proteins

A

Limited number is amino acids

EG vegetables

23
Q

Protein diet

A

0.8g protein per kg of body weight and 10-15% of daily caloric intake

24
Q

Carbs

A

Most accessible source of energy and 55-60% of daily caloric intake should consist of carbs

25
Complex carbs
Take longer to absorb | EG cereal fruits
26
Simple carbs
Absorb quickly | EG candy chocolates
27
Glycemic index
Rate of carbs digestion and its effect on blood glucose levels
28
High glucose index
Sugary foods
29
Moderate Glycemic index
Whole grain and rice
30
Low glycemic index
Fruits and beans
31
Saturated fats
Animals are the source and high concentration of low density lipoprotein
32
Polyunsaturated fats
Plants are the source with high concentration of high density lipoprotein
33
An excess of saturated fats (LDL) raises cholesterol while HDL Carrie cholesterol out of the blood for elimination
.
34
Benefits of fats
Source of energy and insulates and protect vital parts of the body
35
Vitamins
Form the sources of food that we eat and regulates rxns that occur and synthesizes none and tissue EG: a b c d e k thiamine riboflavin
36
Fat soluble vitamins
A d e k but excess is toxic
37
Water soluble vitamins
C b and excess is secreted in urine
38
Minerals
Absorbed form earths soil and we get it from plants
39
Key minerals
Ca P Mg Na K Cl S
40
Trace minerals
Fe Mg Zn and requires less than 100mg/day
41
Water
AIDS in digestion, carries nutrients to cells and eliminates waste from cells (2L a day)
42
Anabolic
Building up of large molecules from smaller ones | EG dehydration
43
Catabolic
Large molecules are broken down into smaller ones | EG hydrolysis
44
Enzymes
Protiens that act as a catalyst
