Answer 10

immediate and stored energy

Question 11

chemical composition of carbs

Answer 11

carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen

Question 12

single (monosaccharides)

Answer 12

• absorbable form
  glucose - used by all cells for energy
  fructose - only absorbed by liver
  galactose - only absorbed by liver

Question 13

single ( disaccharide)

Answer 13

• must be digested to absorb
  sucrose - table sugar
  lactose - milk sugar

  must be digested to absorb

Question 15

starch

Answer 15

plant form and digestible

dietary fat
energy storage
three fatty acids to glycerol backbone

Question 21

phospholipids

Answer 21

cell membrane
glycerol + 2 fatty acids + phosphorus group

Question 22

sterols

Answer 22

hormone production
cell membrane strength
common form is cholesterol

Answer 23

solid
prevalent in animal origin foods

Question 24

monounsaturated

Answer 24

fatty acid with only one double bond

Question 25

polyunsaturated

Answer 25

liquid
essential fatty acids

Question 26

omega 3

Answer 26

alpha linoleum acid that opposes inflammation

Question 27

omega 6

Answer 27

linoleum acid that is needed for body to produce inflammation

Question 28

Good ratio of essential fatty acids

Answer 28

good ratio 1:4, typical ratio 1:17

Question 29

SCFA (short chained fatty acid)

Answer 29

no bile needed
messengers

Question 30

energy storage

Question 32

HDL

Answer 32

transport lipids from tissue to liver

Question 33

LDL

Answer 33

transport cholesterol from liver to tissue

Question 34

VLDL

Answer 34

transport triglycerides from liver to adipose

Question 35

absorption of lipids?

Answer 35

small intestine
48-72 hours

Question 36

function of proteins?

Answer 36

structural support, transportation, immunity, and chemical reaction regulation. cell signaling

Question 37

composition of proteins?

Answer 37

20 amino acids, 9 are essential

Question 38

complete proteins?

Answer 38

contain all 9 essential AA’s
animal meats and few plant sources

Question 39

incomplete proteins

Answer 39

do not contain all 9 essential AA’s
most non meat sources

Question 40

complementary proteins

Answer 40

2 or more incomplete proteins when consumed together contain all 9 essential AA’s

Question 41

absorption of proteins?

Answer 41

small intestine and absorbed into individual amino acids, into dipeptides and tripeptides.

Question 42

What’s absorbable in proteins?

Answer 42

to absorbing proteins, they must be in single amino acid form
1AA = peptide 2AA = dipeptide 3AA= tripeptide. you need 3 carbs for each amino acid
