Metabolism and Nutrition Flashcards
_ is a substance in food that promotes normal growth, maintenance, repair
nutrition
_ (carbohydrates) includes grains, vegetables; 45-65% calorie intake
complex carbohydrates (starch)
_ (carbohydrates) include fruits, sugarcane, sugar beets, honey-milk
sugar
_ (carbohydrates) includes cellulose; provide roughage
insoluble fiber
_ (carbohydrates) include pectin; reduces blood cholesterol levels
soluble fiber
_ (lipids) can be saturated-unsaturated fats
triglycerides
_ fats include meat, dairy foods, tropical oils
saturated
_ fats include seeds, nuts, olive-vegetable oil
unsaturated
_ (lipids) include egg yolk, meats or organ meats, shellfish, milk products
cholesterol
_ must be ingested; include linoleic-linolenic acids in vegetable oils
essential fatty acids
_ are fatty deposits; cushion body organs, insulate, and are a concentrated energy source
adipose tissue
_ (proteins) states where rate of protein synthesis equals rate of breakdown
nitrogen balance
_ involves the biochemical reactions (i.e., catabolism-anabollism) inside cells involving nutrients
metabolism
_ synthesizes large molecules from small ones; _ hydrolyzes complex structures into simple ones
anabolism; catabolism
_ is catabolism of food fuels and energy capture to form ATP in cells
cellular respiration
_ (mitochondrial) break down of intermediates into CO2, H2O, ATP
oxidative
_ is the gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen
oxidation
_ substances lose electrons-energy; _ substances gain electrons-energy
oxidized; reduced
oxidation-reduction reactions are known as _ reactions
redox
_ act as electron acceptors
coenzymes
_ in glycolysis and kreb’s cycle involves high-energy phisphate groups transferred from phosphorylated substrates to ADP
substrate-level. phosphorylation
_ occurs in mitochondria; involves electron transport chain and chemiosmosis
oxidative phosphorylation
_ is movement of substances across a membrane to chemical reactions
chemiosmosis
_ (with oxidative phosphorylation) is part of glucose catabolism
electron transport
_ uses released energy to make ATP
ATP synthase
_ uses released energy to move hydrogen into intermembrane space
proton pump
_ (in cytosol) is a catabolic, anaerobic 10-step process; breaks down glucose and results in 2 pyruvic acids
glycolysis
_ reactions do not require free oxygen while _ reactions do
anaerobic; aerobic
_ (in mitochondrial matrix) uses pyruvic and fatty acids to form NADH, FADH2, CO2, and ATP
krebs cycle
_ is a component of cytoplasm in the cell
cytosol
