Q

Describe the two different chorestra

A

LDL (low density, lipoProtein) is bad to have high levels. Your blood will become saturated with chorestral and then dumped into arteries

HDL is considered good cholesterol ( high density, lipoproteins) H d l will pick up cholesterol in the arteries and transport them to the liver for disposal

16
Q

What is the substrate

A

The substrate is the molecule. The enzyme is working on

17
Q

What is active energy

A

In order for a chemical reaction to occur, molecules must collide with enough energy and positioned in the right spot in order to happen

18
Q

What is denatured

A

Change of the shape of active sight

19
Q

Factors that affect how well enzymes

A

Enzymes are sensitive to high temperatures and ph levels. The proteins in the enzyme will begin to denature, and the active site will no longer fit with the substrates.

20
Q

What is a vitamin

A

Organic molecules essential to an organism. That you need in small amounts, and it cannot provide yourself

21
Q

How are vitamins classified

A

Vitamins are classified to the different things they do. An effect

22
Q

What are Vitamers

A

Vitamins are not one molecule, but a group of molecules related to each other called vitamer

23
Q

Functions a vitamins in the body

A

Vitamin A is a regulator of cell and tissue growth and Differenation

Vitamin d regulates mineral metabolism for bones and other organs

Be complex, vitamins, enzymes, cofactors, or the pre. Cursors

Vitamin c and e are antioxidants

24
Q

Describe the way deficiency diseases can occur

A

Primary cause organisms get too few nutrients. Or secondary cause problem with storage or processing of nutrients

25
Q

What is scruby, and how can it be prevented

A

Scurvy is a lack of vitamin C. Vitamin c is required to make the building blocks for collagen, carniten, and catecholamines, and assist the intestine in the absorption of iron and food

You can prevent scurvy by eating foods high in vitamin sea, such as fruits, veggies and organ meats

26
Q

What is ricketts, and how can it be prevented

A

Ricketts is a condition that causes weak or soft bones because of genes ( unable to absorb calcium) or dietary deficiency

Are sure and children get enough sunlight while young And get enough vitamin d, so they can absorb calcium

27
Q

What is the purpose of a nutrient labels

A

So a buyer is aware of what is contained in the food, so they can easily find foods. They want to eat and don’t want to eat. And foods that would help them in a deficiency

What is a functional group

A

A cluster of atoms that influenced the properties of the molecule they compose

29
Q

How many amino acids

A

Twenty

30
Q

How are molecules combined

A

With dehydration sympto

31
Q

How have we stopped deficiencies

A

By adding vitamins into food , fortified

32
Q

Different ways to get vitamins

A

You can absorb them through the sun through your skin

33
Q

Why might vitamin d supplements be better than increased supposure to sunlight

A

Prolonged exposure to the sun without protection increases the risk of skin cancer

34
Q
