ch 24 metabolism p1 Flashcards
metabolism
what happens to nutrients after they are in the body
macronutrients
carbs lipids and proteins, most of the diet
micronutrients
vitamins and minerals, only needed in small amount
carbs
mostly from plants, but also lactose in dairy and glycogen in meat
use of carbs
ATP production by body, nucleic acid synthesis with pentose sugars, glycoalyx formation
glycoalyx
sugar coating of body cells, identify what belongs vs not for immune
glucose
produces ATP! only monosaccharide that does that
carbs should be how much of calorie s
45-60%
complex carbs
grains and plant based resources that are unprocessed, nutrient rich and dense. can be vitamins and minerals too
empty carbs
processed sugars, all nutritional value gets lost during processing that’s what its empty. ADIPOSEE
lipids sources in diet
triglycerides and cholesterol
triglyceride types
saturated- meat dairy margarine, solid at room temp packed close
unsatured- nuts seeds olive oil, fluid at room temp spread apart particles
how we use lipids
build adipose, phospholipids used for cell membranes, bile salt steroid hormones (molecule construction), absorb fat soluble vitamins
how much % should lipids make up
20-35%
which fat do drs say to limit
saturated fat and cholesterol. saturated stays solid at room temp to sticks to body temperatures.
proteins sources
complete- meet all body amino acid requirements (meet egg dairy fish)
incomplete- short one amino acid, plant based (seeds nuts legumes)
only complete plant protein
soybeans
protein uses
structural- keratin collagen elastin and muslce proteins
functional- enzymes and hormones
protein should be how much per kg body weight
.8 G protein per kg
nitrogen balance
when rate of protein synthesis equals rate of protein breakdown in body
positive vs negative nitrogen balance
positive- protein synth > protein breakdown (growing children and pregnant women and tissue repair) CONSUME MORE THAN BREAKDOWN
neagtive- protein breakdown > protein synth (stress, low protein in diet, starvation) TOO MUCH BREAKDOWN
when are amino acids NOT used by the body
inadequate dietary intake- short of carbs or fats forces body to use protein energy source
insufficient amino acid supply- need all amino acids to build protein so if one is missing cannot do anything. body won’t use it
hormonal control- new slide
hormonal control
anabolic hormones promote protein synthesis and growth, adrenal glucocorticoids (stress) promote protein breakdown.
vitamins act as what to assist enzymes in accomplishing tasks
coenzymes
