Ch 2 Metabolism and Energy Flashcards
Define energy
ability to do/perform work
Work=force*distance
I carry box 10 feet is work done? Yes
I hold box above head? work? no
what is a kcal?
Kcal= Cal on nutrition label
heat required to raise 1 kg H2O 1 degree C
How much energy from 1 g Carbohydrate?
4 kcal
How much energy from 1 g Protein?
4 kcal
How much energy from 1 g Fat?
9 kcal
What is caloric intake/day?
1 kcal/hour/kg (24 hr*87)=2,088 kcal
6 categories of Nutrients
water, carbohydrates, fats, protein, vitamins, minerals
what is the difference btwn vitamin and minerals?
Vitamin- organic, CAN be broken down by heat, air, acid
Mineral- inorganic, CANNOT be broken down= stronger chemical bond/structure
What vitamins and minerals responsible for bone structure?
Ca, vitamin D, vitamin K, Mg, Phosphorous
what vitamins/minerals responsible for preventing birth defects?
folic acid
For strong teeth?
Flouride!! along with Ca, vit D and K, Mg, P
what are the 4 types of energy
chemical, mechanical, heat, electrical
With work being done, heat energy generated before mechanical
What energy source is used at rest?
predominately aerobic
2/3 fat
1/3 car
what is the formation of glycogen from glucose?
glycogenesis
what is break down of glycogen into glucose?
glycogenolysis
how many g of glucose in body?
20 g, the rest is stored as glycogen in liver and muscle
Are simple carbodydrates absorbed quickly?
yes, why utilized for diabetic patient (ie fruit, juice, candy etc)
Ex of complex carbohydrates?
pasta, breads, vegetables
provide steady energy
Carbohydrates ex
Monosaccharides- fructose, galactose
Disaccharides- sucrose, maltose
Polysaccharides- starch, glycogen
does the liver or muscle store more glycogen?
muscle (400 g)
vs
liver (100 g)
What 2 structures make up a lipid/fat?
Fatty acid and triglyceride
fatty acid types
saturated (animals)- no dbl bond,
unsaturated(plants)- dbl bond btwn Carbons, considered “good” in olive oil
triclyceride composition
glyceral and 3 FA’s
what is measured in blood draw
