exam 1 Flashcards
Why we eat?
nutrient, hunger, habit, pleasure, stress/disease relief, psychosocial reasons
list macro nutrients
fat, protein, carbo.
importance of aroma?
more sensitive and range: 一点点都能闻到,而且能闻到的compound 比味觉多
hunger vs apetite, how are they controlled?
survival mechanism, signals from brain= stop or eat. desire to eat =/ overwhelming need to eat
molecule properties of smell/taste in order to be detected?
taste:pg1 bottom smell: pg2 top
what cells in eyes detect color? 黑白?
cones: 彩色 rods: 黑白
name naturally occurring pigments
pg 2 bottom
vitamin a food?
no, body need little, they no calories= not source of energy
what is ATP?
macro nutrient被消化,变成此分子,变成细胞可用的能量
flavor
对食物所有的sense: 味道,香味,嚼劲,触感等
requirements for RDA, AI, EAR, UL?
p3 top
daily reference value
因为RDA太复杂了,不能放在标签上 a set of dietary standards: fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, protein, potassium, and sodium
4 stages of digestion
ingestion, digestion, absorption, elimination
pancreas function?
produce most digestive enzyme; bicarbonate (中和胃酸)
bile salt function?
把lipid分成小块在水里。
carbohydrate is? calories per gram? name essential carbo.
hydrates of carbon (由碳和水组成=(CH2O)n); 4 kilocalarie; none is
the 6 carbon and 5 carbon sugars?
p8 top
What two sugars make up sucrose? Lactose? Maltose?
p7 top
Disaccharides is? some examples?
a type of carbo. made of two or more simple sugars; p7 top
How does lactose intolerance occur? Why are some people more susceptible than others? what are the symptoms?
pg7 middle. lactose 在牛奶里,人一旦断奶(weaning)就不再生产enzyme去分解lactose。如果再也不接触这种糖,身体没有必要生产这种enzyme。所以小肠不吸收直接到大肠分解,产生gas, diarrhea, cramps。养牛的人或他们的后代会继续生产,影响较小。
Insulin
hormone secreted by the pancreas in response to high blood glucose concentration. It assists cells in drawing glucose from blood 降低血中的糖
Glucagon
从pancreas出来的hormone,当血糖过低时,刺激liver把glucose放入血中。增加血中的糖
Type 1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes)
生产胰岛素的细胞被自己的免疫系统毁了;遗传的; 在severe viral infection后产生。
Type 2 diabetes (adult onset diabetes)
油脂让胰岛素不能bind with receptor 然后让glucose进细胞里 (insulin resistant)。吃药–>打针增加insulin。
why does insulin decrease when you have not eat for a while?
brain needs glucose, but cells get it too via insulin. (glycogen in liver–>glucose) so no insulin, brain can have all the glucose. and cells can get energy from fat
what are some complications of high blood sugar?
reaction products of sugars and amino acids (lyk frying) occur slowly @ body temperature. 最伤身是当 glucose 和 proteins 在小血管。失去弹性–>不能工作–>缺氧和死细胞。尤其在脚上,眼睛和肾的peripheral capillaries,导致神经细胞死亡。脚没知觉,所以sore没发现–> 感染–> 截肢。眼睛瞎。
invert sugar is?
Hydrolysis of sucrose–>glucose+fructose gives invert sugar. Invert sugar is sweeter than sucrose, ex honey
High fructose corn syrup is? how is it used in food?
用更多enzymes转换glucose–>fructose 类似sucrose消化成果。比 glucose/sucrose都甜。可以bind more water,保持饼干新鲜
glycogen is? where is it stored? how is it used as energy?
Branched polymer of glucose. in liver; not efficient, immediate use
what are the two fibers? what are their functions?
soluble: 胆固醇会变成bile salt去emulsify fat,而fat会被放回血里。fiber把bile salt绑住,fat回收降低,而且肝还要拿更多胆固醇做bile salf insoluble: 绑水,膨胀,排便。稀释大肠里的毒素,快速排掉减少接触
smallest unit of carbo.
saccharide
Monosaccharides
carbo. with 1 sugar unit, 6 C
Polysaccharides
May contain hundreds or thousands of sugar units. Some contain linkages that are not digestible.
starch
energy storage in plants, Polysaccharide
oligosaccharides.
Carbo. made up of three or more sugars
raffinose and stachyose
Raffinose = galactose - glucose - fructose
Stachyose = galactose-galactose-glucose-fructose
glucose and galactose are chemically connected in a way that no animal can digest. Bacteria in the colon can digest them–> acid and gas
functions of protein
p9 top
why is amino acid essential?
20个常见amino acids中,我们能做11个。另外9个是essential,我们要自己摄取
what is limiting amino acid? 2 of em in human body?
The amino acid that is present in the lowest quantity compared to need (ex lysine or methionine) 假设:4D 8O 2G= 2xDOG, G is limiting
Kwashiorkor
sufficient calories but not in protein or the protein is of too low a quality to support adequate growth. Symptoms: bloated belly, apathy 冷淡,retardation ,exaggerated need for Vitamin A.
how much calorie can protein provide?
4 Kilocalories per gram
A bond formed by the condensation (失去水) of the amino group ( -NH2 ) of one amino acid with the acid group (-COOH ) of another amino acid
Peptide Bond
Condensation - Hydrolysis
condensation: 失去水形成bond. hydrolysis:加水断掉bond
PER. why use young animals?
measure protein quality; weight gain over protein consumed. metabolize protein at a greater rate, increase in mass is protein whereas most of the weight gained by adults is fat.
