is Fiber caloric or non-caloric? - ANSWERS-non-caloric
Total fiber = ________ & _______ fiber - ANSWERS-functional, dietary
what is the DRI for fiber? - ANSWERS-1.4 gm/100 Calories eaten
Protein that catalyze metabolic reactions, and are necessary for most biochemical
reactions to occur. - ANSWERS-enzyme
,Nutrients like water & lipid byproducts pass freely across membranes via a
concentration gradient. - ANSWERS-Passive (Simple) Diffusion (Transport)
Nutrients like water soluble vitamins diffuse across membranes using a
specific/selective transport proteins - ANSWERS-Facilitated Diffusion (Transport)
Nutrients like glucose & amino acids move across membranes against a concentration
gradient using a specific/selective transport protein & energy/ATP. - ANSWERS-Active
Transport
Transportation of Nutrients
• _________: water soluble nutrients
• _________: fat soluble nutrients - ANSWERS-- Blood vessels
- Lymphatic vessels
Breaking down (things get smaller). Involve hydrolysis reactions. Are degrading or
destructive in nature. - ANSWERS-Catabolic reactions
Building up (things get bigger). Involve condensation reactions. Are synthesizing or
constructive in nature. - ANSWERS-Anabolic reactions
The balance of catabolic and anabolic reactions in a person so a relatively stable
internal environment or equilibrium is achieved. - ANSWERS-Homeostasis
Sites of Absorption
• ________ & ________: many nutrients
• ________: only selected nutrients
• ________: water - ANSWERS-- Duodenum, Jejunum
- Ileum
- Colon (large Intestine)
, • protein strand is broken & amino acids are released.
• Occurs by protease enzymes secreted by the pancreas & GI mucosal cells.
• Amino acids are absorbed, transported to cells and then used to build proteins -
ANSWERS-Protein Digestion
• Causes protein to change shape or conformation.
• The protein and the amino acids are still intact.
• caused by heat, alkali/acid treatments, or metals.
• Is required before the protein can be digested. - ANSWERS-Protein Denaturation
We eat protein, denature & digest the protein, absorb & transport the amino acids to the
cells, then within each cell, protein is made according to the DNA. - ANSWERS-Protein
Synthesis
(Protein is synthesized in a process of converting DNA to RNA & then protein)
• Uniform in structure.
• Either exclusively helical or sheet formation.
• Ex: proteins found in hair, muscle fibers & finger nails. - ANSWERS-Fibrous protein
• Have variation in structure.
• part helical, part sheet, part random, or completely random.
• Ex: blood, mucous, milk protein and egg white. - ANSWERS-Globular protein
what are 2 types of proteins? - ANSWERS-1- fibrous
2- globular
Eric weighs 90 Kg and ate 88 g of protein and 3000 Calories in one day.
• What is his DRI for protein? - ANSWERS-90 Kg x 0.8 gm/Kg = 72 gm protein
