Test 4 Flashcards
Aldose
Monosaccharide with the carbonyl group at the end of the carbon chain
Anomers
Isomers of monosaccharides that differ in configuration about the C1 carbon
Diastereomers
Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other
Enantiomers
Stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other
Epimers
2 stereoisomers that differ in configuration at one asymmetric center in a molecule having 2 or more asymmetric centers
Furanose
Sugar with a five sided ring structure
Glycosidic bond
Bonds between a sugar and another molecule such as a sugar, alcohol, purine, or pyrimidine
Hemiacetal
Ring structure formed in a monosaccharide by the reaction between an aldehyde group and an alcohol group on neighboring carbons
Hemiketal
Ring structure formed in a monosaccharide by the reaction between a ketone group and an alcohol group on neighboring carbons
Ketose
Monosaccharide with the carbonyl group not at the end of the carbon chain
Non reducing sugar
Sugar in which the anomeric carbon is involved in a glycosidic bond and cannot undergo oxidation
Pyranose
Sugar with a six sided ring structure
Reducing sugar
Sugar in which the anomeric carbon is not involved in a glycosidic bond and therefore can undergo oxidation
Nutrients
All constituents of food necessary to sustain normal functions of the body
Macronutrients
Proteins. Fats. Carbs
Micronutrients
Vitamins and minerals
Nutrient Balance
Net change in amount of nutrient within a persons body
Homeostasis
Short term ability to adjust
Adaptation
Long term adjustment
EAR
Estimated average requirement. Meets requirements of 1/2 of healthy individuals
RDA
Recommended daily allowance. Level sufficient to meet nutrient requirements of nearly all in a life stage and gender gp. (RDIntake)
AI
Adequate intake. Insufficient evidence to calculate EAR or RDA
