Exam 1 Flashcards
Macronutrients
required in gram quantities/day ie carbs, lipids, proteins
Micronutrients
required in milligrams or microgram quantities/day ie vitamins and minerals
proteins
4 kcal/g 4 Cal/g
Energy
listed as Calories or kilocalories = amnt of heat needed to raise the temp of 1 kg of H2O by 1 C
1 calorie (cal)
= raise 1g water by 1 C
Carbs
4 Cal/g 4 kcal/g
Lipids
9 Cal/g 9 kcal/g much more non polar
fat soluble vitamins
A, D, E, K
Water soluable vitamins
C, B vitamins
pH of pure water
7
pH stomach acid
2
pH of small intestine
8.2
pH of urine
6
pH of blood
7.35-7.45
physiologic pH
7.4
increase of H+
decrease in pH
decrease of H+
increase of pH
Acidosis
accumulation of acid or loss of base
Alkalosis
accumulation of base or loss of acid
protein buffer system
main intracellular buffer
increase in CO2 makes more H2CO3, causes pH to decrease
acidosis
Decrease in CO2 causes pH to increase
alkalosis
respiratory center of the brain
acts as a buffer to control pH
respiratory buffers
seconds to minutes to restore pH
renal buffers
hours to days pH under control
acidosis
anything that does not allow the lungs to exhale excess CO2
alkalosis
excessive removal of CO2 through hyperventilation
plasma membrane
provides protection while still allowing sufficient exposure to environment for nourishment and waste removal
smooth ER
cytochrome P450 responsible for drug and hormone metabolism. entire job is to hydroxelate allows vit D to be processed
LEO says GER
lose electron oxidation gain electron reduction
