Ch 25: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Temp Flashcards
Nutrients
Produce energy
Essential nutrients
Must be ingested, can’t be synthesized by the body
Non essential nutrients
Can be synthesized by the body
Carbohydrates
- monosaccharides: 1 glucose/ fructose
- disaccharides: 2 or more sucrose
- polysaccharides: many
Where can glucose be stored
Liver and muscle as glycogen
Lipids
Triglycerides and fatty acids
Fat soluble
Vitamins A,D,E,K
Water soluble
Vitamins B and C
Metabolism
Catabolism + anabolism
Catabolism
Energy releasing process or large molecules broken down into smaller
Anibolism
Energy requiring process or small molecules joined to form larger molecules
Process of ATP production
Carbs, glycolysis, pyruvic acid, Kebs cycle, electron transport chain
Glycolysis
Occurs in the cytoplasm
2 units of 3 carbons
Pyruvic acid
Oxidized and turns to acetylcholine-CoA
Krebs cycle
Produces ATP NADH, FADH2, CO2
Occurs in the matrix of mitochondria
