25
What Amino acid: - Converted into glucose via glucogenesis - From glucose precursors - Important in glucogenesis - Includes most essential and non-essential amino acids
Glucogenic Amino acids
26
What Amino Acid: - Amino acids that form acetyl CoA or acetoacetylCoA - Form precursors for ketone bodies - Important in ketogenesis - inclued exclusively Lysine and Leucin
Ketogenic Amino acids
27
What are the main difference between Glucogenic and Ketogenic amino acids?
Affect the body energy metabolism Ketogenic -> Produce Ketone Bodies Glucogenic -> Produce Glucose (blood sugar)
28
What are the synthesis in the body that makes glucose when we are not getting enough glucose from our diet
Gluconeogenesis
29
It produces glucose from non-carbs sources (ex amino acids)
Gluconeogenesis
30
For When we’re not getting enough carbs
Ketogenic amino acids
31
For When we need extra energy
Glucogenic amino acids (Diabetogenic)
32
If you see this card
Kindly review the table that sir gave :P
33
Major role in Production of metabolic energy
Carbohydrates
34
Simple sugars are broken down in the ________________ to release energy
Glycolytic Pathway
35
Metabolized into simple sugars, which then enter the glycolytic pathway
Complex Carbohydrates
36
T or F Brain does not need sugar
F (it does need, brain energy source is sugar (Carbohydrates)
37
Surplus of sugars are converted for storage
glycogen and triacyclglycerols
38
T or F When dietary carbohydrate is in shorts supply, Glycogenic bodies are produced from acetate units to supply fuel for energy
F (Ketone bodies)
39
T or F Carbohydrate is a component in nucleotides?
T (Ribose and Deoxyriboes
40
T or F Carbohydrates is a component for lipids such as glycolipids
T
41
T or F It does not combine with protein | This talks about Carbohydrates
F (It does and gives off glycoprotein)
42
can be used as fuel by numerous tissues in the human body
Fatty acids and TAGS
43
T or F Our cells break down fatty acids from dietary/stored to produce energy through fatty acid oxidation
T
44
If u see this card
kaldag with vid, send mo sa 2MT-N gc
45
crucial elements of all biological membranes
Phopholipids
46
T or F Phospholipids does not help in structural framework of cell membranes
T (It helps, it is crucial)
47
Storage of excess dietary fat
triacylglycerols (TAG)
48
Where is TAG stored
Adipose Tissue
49
What are the some essential fatty acids:
Arachidonic acid Linoleic acid Linolenic acid
50
T or F our body does not have ability to synthesize most fatty acids, however some are essential
F (Does have)
51
Dietary Fibers are also called
Roughage
52
Refers to molecules that cannot be metabolized in the human body due to absence of the required enzymes | Nutrients
Dietary Fiber
53
A polysaccharide component of the plant cell walls and is required for good function of colon
Cellulose
54
Plant polymer of aromatic ring structures and Absorbs organic molecules in the digestive system
Lignin
55
essential nutrients that are necessary in the diet since they cannot be synthesized by humans
Vitamins
56
Why vitamins are essential nutrients?
no enzyme is available to synthesize them
57
T or F Vitamins are required only in trace amounts are, but shortage can result in a diseases or death
T
58
What are the 2 Classification of Vitamins
1. Fat Soluble Vitamins 2. Water Soluble Vitamins
59
- Absorbed with fats - Do not form coenzymes - Are not excreted in urine, toxic in excessive quantities - Stored extensively
Fat Soluble Vitamins
60
- Absorbed directly into the blood - Precursors of coenzymes - Excess amounts are excreted in urine, Non-toxic - Not stored extensively
Water Soluble Vitamins
61
T or F Fat soluble Vitamins can be absrob without the help of fats?
F
62
Storage of fat soluble vitamins
Fatty tissues in liver
