Chapter Five-Protein Flashcards
Proteins are necessary for:
- Glycogen
- Tissue repair and synthesis
- Hydration
- Eliminating Sugars
Tissue repair and synthesis
Proteins are complex structures made up of:
- Aeromatic acids
- Amino acids
- Citric acids
- Carbonic acids
Amino acids
Always present in protein is:
- Magnesium
- Helium
- Nitrogen
- Fluoride
Nitrogen
“Limiting” Amino Acids (found in cereals, millets and grains) means:
- They exist in smaller quantities and not in proper balance.
- They limit the amount of fat your body is able to store.
- They limit the amount of water your body is able to absorb.
- They are hard to digest.
They exist in smaller quantities and not in proper balance.
Every body requires the exact same amount of protein:
- True
- False
False
In discussing amino acids, the term _________________ refers to a specific nutrient the body requires, but is not capable of producing:
- Essential
- Mandatory
- Unlimited
- Probiotic
Essential
If one amino acid is supplied in a smaller amount than necessary, then the total amount of protein that can be synthesized from all other amino acids will be limited:
- True
- False
True
If one essential amino acid is completely absent, the other amino acids:
- Cannot be utilized and are therefore wasted by the body
- Are stored as fat
- Converted to carbohydrate
- Bind and form salt
Cannot be utilized and are therefore wasted by the body
In order for protein synthesis to occur the body requires:
- Fructose proteins
- Partial proteins
- Complete proteins
- Compressed proteins
- Nonessential proteins
Complete proteins
An example of a food with a “complete” protein mix is:
- Chocolate
- Egg
- Kale
- Peeps
- Corn
Egg
