three chemical bases of carbs

three levels of polysaccharides

linoleic, linolenic
polypeptide chain
chain of 100+ AA determine the function of the protein
4 structures of chains
primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary
protein synthesis steps
transcription, translation
energy balance
the energy consumed from foods and liquids compared to the amount of energy used through activity
energy intake
food composition-measuring the energy in the food
3 components of food intake
hunger, satiation, satiety
5 components of thermogenesis
basal metabolism, BMR, physical activity, thermic effect of food, thermoregulation
scratches
fibrous foods
pits
hard goods
