Extra Flashcards
an enzyme that helps convert glucose (sugar) into energy.
aldolase
an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of phosphate groups from high-energy, phosphate-donating molecules to specific substrates.
Kinase
When added to sucrose (table sugar) or foods that include sucrose it splits the sugar into its component parts of glucose and fructose.
invertase
is a class of enzyme that commonly perform as biochemical catalysts that use water to break a chemical bond, which typically results in dividing a larger molecule to smaller molecules.
Hydrolase
substance that enhances the action of an enzyme.
coenzyme
is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen (such as bacteria, plants, and animals) which catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.
Catalase
The process is commonly employed to reduce or saturate organic compounds
Hydrogenation
may be defined as the chemical process in which a substance gains oxygen or loses electrons and hydrogen.
Oxidation
a hormone that is secreted by the
proximal small bowel and stimulates the pancreas to secrete enzymes( and, to a lesser extent, bicarbonate and water), stimulates gallbladder contraction, slows gasric emptying, stimulates colonic activity, and may regulate appetite
cholecystokinin(G CK)
the movement of particles across a
membrane via a transporter or carrier protein
facilitated diffusion
a hormone that is produced by the antral mucosa of
the stomach and stimulates gastric secretions and motility
gastrin
a hormone release from the intestinal mucosa that decrease gastric emptying, lowers glucagon secretion, stimulates insulin secretion, and increases insulin sensitivity and satiety
glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-l)
amino acid that occurs naturally within the body
taurine
Coco sugar is sweetener with low glycemic because of the presence of:
inulin
Fats and oils that are neutral can be described as
salts of fatty acids with glycerol
