Metabolism Flashcards
Four metabolic pathways
Oxidative pathways- convert food into energy
fuel storage pathways
biosynthetic pathways
detoxification pathways
Anabolic
Use energy and more materials to make larger molecules for growth and maintenance
Sources of nutrients
Carbohydrates proteins fats minerals vitamins water Vipers
Structure of carbohydrates
(CH 20)n
aldehyde or ketone
Carbohydrates disaccharide’s
Sucrose and glucose= fructose
glucose and glucose= Maltose
glucose and galactose= lactose
Carbohydrate polymer
Starch plants
glycogen animals
Proteins
20 different amino acids
peptide bonds
nine essential amino acids
Nine essential amino acids
If isoleucine learned lysine this threonine huge histadine list leucine May methionine prove phenyl alanine truly tryptophan valuable failing
fats
Lipids composered of triacylglycerols
saturated and unsaturated trans
into much less oxygen than carbohydrates or proteins yield more energy when oxidised
Essential fatty acids
linoleic and linolenic
Minerals and electrolytes
Electrolytes establish I’m going to cut membranes and the team would balance
Cellulose
Polymer of glucose
beta 1-4 linkage don’t have enzymes required to break it down
low fibre intake associated with
Constipation and bowel cancer
Nutrition requirements
Reference nutrient intake RNLI 97.5% of population
estimated average requirement E AR 50%
Lower reference nutrient intake 2.5
Energy requirements vary between individuals depending on
Age
sex
body composition
physical activity
Energy daily expenditure some of
Basal metabolic rate
diet induced thermogenesis
physical activity levels
Basal metabolic rate
Maintenance of cells skeletal muscles 30% liver 20% brain 20% heart 10% other 20%
Short-term energy stores
Muscle- a few seconds
Under extreme conditions or can be used for energy
Muscle
What is obesity
Assessor fat accumulation in adipocyte tissues which impairs health
BMI greater than 30
BMI
Weight kilograms/height squared m squared
Kwashiorkor
Calorie intake normal, low protein intake Kwashiorkor odeama anerexica larphargic apathetic
Body needs essential amino acids from diet therefore the body is unable to sympathise some essential proteins
Liver unable to synthesise library proteins to transport fat, therefore fat builds up in liver, liver therefore doesn’t function properly and can make albumin, albumin deficiency leads to oedema
marasmus
Insufficient energy intake- negative energy balance
metabolise fat stores, that’s converted to ketone bodies used for central nervous system
Central nervous system and red blood cells cannot use fatty acids zany glucose
not enough carbohydrate and glucose is consumed
glucose release from glycogen stores in the liver
muscle protein is broken down as last resort for gluconeogenesis- results in loss of muscle protein
Severe body fat and muscle mass loss
unable to repair and replace tissue such as gasinal intestnsl track
heart muscle thins impaired function bradycardia
