A

Lipids

47
Q

In animals, _______ are major form of energy storage, mainly as ____

A

Lipids - fat

48
Q

Important sources of stored energy

A

Fats and Oils

49
Q

are usually of animal origin

A

Fats

50
Q

are form plants and marine mammals

A

Oils

51
Q

Primary constituent of biological membranes

A

Phospholipids

52

Widely distributed in plants and animals where they have protective functions

A

Waxes

53

Sterols (cholesterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol), bile acids, adrenal and sex hormones

A

Steroids

54

55
Q

Complex organic compound of high molecular weight

A

Proteins

56
Q

Proteins contains

A

carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, in addition to nitrogen and sulfur

57
Q

Found in all living cells, where they are intimately connected with all phases of activity that constitutes the life of the cell

A

Proteins

58
Q

Certain amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the animal, in contrast to plants, animals cannot synthesize the amino group, so in order to build up body proteins, they need to have a dietary source of amino acid

A

Essential Amino Acids

59
Q

List down the Essential Amino Acids

A

Phenylalanine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Lysine, Leucine, Methionine, Arginine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine

60
Q

In ruminants, all ________ ______ _____ can be synthesized by the rumen microorganisms, making them independent of a dietary source of amino acids.

A

Essential Amino Acids

61
Q

Amino acids that when deficient causes insufficient utilization of other amino acids in the diet

A

Limiting Amino Acids

62
Q

are proved to have a metabolic role in the body, deficiency of these elements will cause deficiency symptoms in animals.

A

Essential Mineral Elements

63
Q

Classification of essential minerals into _______ _________ and
________ _________ depend upon their concentration in the animal
or amounts required in the diet.

A

Macro Elements and Trace Elements

64
Q

Present in the body in a concentration not greater than 50
mg/kg and are required at less than 100 mg/kg in the diet. They
function as activators or co-factors of enzymes.

69
Q

Cannot be normally synthesized in the animal body and
