GRADED A+ TESTED AND APPROVED!!!
Whole grain vs refined whole grain ---- ANSWER----refined only has 1 or 2
layers; whole has all 3 layers
Dextrin ---- ANSWER----group of carbohydrates broken down in the mouth
because of amylase saliva
Ptyalin ---- ANSWER----aka salivary amylase
Cellulose ---- ANSWER----nondigestable dissacharide that adds bulk to the diet
saturated fats are usually... ---- ANSWER----animal products
Omega is determined by ---- ANSWER----where the first double bond is
,2|Page
Hydrogenation ---- ANSWER----moving the double bond to a different side to
make it more shelf stable and creating trans fats
Phospholipids are triglyceride derivatives in which a phosphate group replaces
one fatty acid... Which makes it... ---- ANSWER----partially hydrophobic and
hydrophilic aka amphipathic
major phospholipid produced by the liver, key building block of the lipid bilayer
- eggs and liver ---- ANSWER----Lecithin
signaling hormones that exert local control over multiple functions in the body -
--- ANSWER----Eiconasoids
What breaksdown fat ---- ANSWER----lingual lipase and ebner gland stomach
only breaks down butterfat
SI releases cholecystokinin when fat is here which triggers the gallbladder to
release bile pancreatic lipase to breakdown triglycerides.
Micelles ---- ANSWER----when bile salts surround monoglycerides for
absorption - high cholesterol medications get rid of bile salts so that this
absorption can't happen
Is bile reabsorbed? ---- ANSWER----yes - by the hepatic portal vein
,3|Page
What is the chemical group name for fats? ---- ANSWER----Glycerides
How many essential, nonessential, and conditional amino acids are there? ----
ANSWER----9 essential
5 nonessential if you're eating your essentials and conditional
on which disease you have that requires these
Negative vs Positive nitrogen balance ---- ANSWER----negative- excreting
more nitrogen than eating (very harmful, body can feed on muscles of the body)
positive- holding more nitrogen than excreting (growth periods)
Blood proteins ---- ANSWER----Hemoglobin - oxygen carrying and Transferrin
- iron transport
Complete proteins ---- ANSWER----are of animal origin and have all essential
amino acids (soy is complete even though it's a plant) (gelatin is not complete
even though it's of animal origin)
Zymogens ---- ANSWER----stored protein enzymes and proenzymes
, 4|Page
Digestion of proteins ---- ANSWER----mouth - mechanical begins
in stomach -Hydrochloric acid
-HA activates pepsinogen to become pepsid
-Rennin - only in children to help digest milk
SI - food activates trypsinogen to become trypsin
-which then activates chymotrypsin(ogen) and (pro)carboxypeptidas(attacks
acid end)
-Aminopeptidase: attacks nitrogen end
- Dipeptidase: takes all remaining dipeptides to make them single amino acids
Nitrogen balance is a measure of overall ---- ANSWER----protein balance
Scurvy ---- ANSWER----(VitC Deficiency) - breakdown of blood vessel walls
with normal blood pressure causing blood in joints and eventually death
What vitamins are stored? ---- ANSWER----All fat soluble ones and water
soluble vitamin b6 and b12
