digestion Flashcards
need nutrients for
a. cellular level
b. repair - muscle damage, bone repair
c. growth
CHO main function
starches/ sugars
-primary function = energy
fats main function
energy and building things
protein main function
building things and secondary energy source
chemical digestion
HCl (helps with protein digestion) an d enzymes - amylase, sucrase, lactase, maltase, lipases, proteases
vitamins and minerals are absorbed
as is
macronutrients absorbed
monosaccharides, fatty acids, monoglycerides, glycerol, amino acids, cholestrol
macronutrients that cant be absorbed
fiber, starch, triglycerides, polypeptides
ADEK is absorbed into the
lymph
water-soluble nutrients get absorbed into
the blood
mucosal cells absorb
all nutrients
fat uses energy under
low to moderate intensity
protein uses energy when
starving or fasting
CHO are stored as
glycogen in the liver and skeletal muscles
fats are stored as
adipocytes and stored as triglyceride
