What are the three main categories of nutrition? Macronutrients
Water
Micronutrients
What are the four different Macronutrients? *Carbohydrates (CHO)
*Lipids (fats)
*Protein (PRO)
Alcohol
What are the two different Micronutrients? Vitamins
Mimerals
What are the two primary roles for Macronutrients? -Energy Source
- Structural and Functional
What are Carbohydrates made of? Carbon and Water
(Break down the word) CnH2nOn
, What roles does Carbohydrates have? 1. Energy source
-Immediate
-Storage
-Central Nervous System
2. Protein Sparer
3. Metabolic Primer
Define Glucose. (blood sugar) is the most important carbohydrate in the human body
C6H12O6
What are 2 ways to Increase Glucose in the body? -Eat it
-Synthesize within the body from other materials that are already present.
What is the process of making new glucose? Gluconeogenesis
What is glucose stored as? Glycogen
What is glycogen? A polymer of glucose
~ How much energy is stored as Glycogen? ~ 2000 kcal
What two molecules do Carbohydrates convert Glucose and Glycogen
between?
What is the process of converting Glucose to Glycogen? Glycogenesis
What is the process of turning Glycogen into Glucose? Glycogenolysis
What are the 3 key roles of Lipids? 1. Energy Source and Storage
-greatest "energy density"
-Unlimited storage potential
2. Protection and insulation
3. Carries Vitamins
What is the most basic form of a Lipid? Free Fatty Acid (FFA)
What are the 3 main types of Free Fatty Acids (FFA)? Saturated (no double bonds)
Monosaturated (one double bond)
Polysaturated (more than one double bond)
How do Free Fatty Acids (FFA) travel through the body -Attached to a protein called Albumin
as? (2) -Packaged with a few other FFA in a Triacylglycerol (TAG)
What is the process of converting FFAs to TAGs? Esterification
What is the process of converting TAGs to FFAs? Lipolysis
