Q

G.I TRACT

A
  • The body prepares foods for ABSORBTION through DIGESTION
  • Food enters the GI tract through the LUMEN (inside of the hollow
    tube)
  • Food gets broken down into the smallest units: amino acids,
    simple sugars, fatty acids to get absorbed by INTESTINAL
    EPITHELIAL CELLS.

22
Q

IMPORTANT ORGANS FOR DIGESTION

A

pancreas, liver, and gallbladder.

23
Q

Small intestine

A

The main site for digestion, includes the duodenum,

jejunum, and ileum. The inner wall is covered in villi for absorption.

24
Q

Amylose

A

The scientific name for starch.

25
Q

Amylase

A

An enzyme that breaks down starch into disaccharides called maltose. If the enzyme is
exposed to extreme heat and acid it will be denatured.

26
Q

Buffers

A

Used to help stabilize PH

27
Q

Mouth pH

A

Neutral.

28
Q

Stomach pH

A

Very acidic, pH of 2.

29
Q

Small intestine pH

A

Alkaline.

30
Q

Lipids are broken down into..

A

glycerol and fatty acids.

31
Q

Chyme

A

an acidic fluid leaves the stomach to go into the small intestine.
Pancreas then releases pancreatic juices.

32
Q

Lipase

A

the enzyme that hydrolyzes (breaks down) fats.

33
Q

Lingual lipase

A

in salivary glands and can initiate digestion.

34
Q

Bile

A

used to emulsify fats and is released by the gallbladder.

35
Q

Litmus

A

alkaline solution that turns from blue to pink if acid is

detected.

36
Q

Protein composition

A

A polypeptide chain of 1 or more strands of amino acids.

37
Q

Gene

A

a stretch of DNA that provides a blueprint for the og structure
of a polypeptide.

38
Q

Codon (3 letters)

A

inside mRNA nucleotide sequence which corresponds

to an amino acid.

39
Q

Peptide bond

A

Helps form proteins by linking amino acids together

40
Q

Stomach acid

A

denatures proteins and opens their structure to allow

enzymes to attack.

41
Q

Trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidases

A

pancreatic

protein-digesting enzymes.

42
Q

Pepsin

A

works in the stomach, the inactive form is pepsinogen,
activated by stomach acid and helps break down protein into
polypeptide bonds & amino acids.

43
Q

Proteases

A

enzymes found in the small intestine

44
Q

Antioxidants

A

get rid of ROS and capture Radicals. Used to protect LDL

from oxidation

45
Q

Free radicals

A

a molecule with one or more unpaired electron

46
Q

How antioxidants work to fight free radicals

A

donating one or more

electrons to stop the chain reaction

47
Q

Food sources of antioxidants

A

color pigments in fruits and veggies

48
Q

Carotenoids

A

Antioxidant pigments that are yellow, orange, and red.

49
Q

Chlorophylls

A

Antioxidant that is green.

50
Q

Beta-carotene

A

AKA Vitamin A, is found in carrots.

51
Q

Body mass

A

2 types, essential & non-essential, adipose or fat that

lines our organs

52
Q

Fat-free mass

A

everything else.

53
Q

Intestinal Microflora

A

bacteria produce nutrients like short-chain

fatty acids, some B- vitamins, and vitamin K.
