Carbohydrates, Fat, Protein review
Name the two types of fiber and some health benefits of each
- Water soluble (Viscous): lower blood cholesterol, lower risk of heart disease and diabetes - Insoluble (Non-Viscous): Speed fecal passage though colon, lower risk of hemorrhoids, appendicitis.
The RDA for Carbohydrate is:
130g.
The DV for Fiber is:
25g.
A carbon atom will be able to bond with this many other atoms
4 amino acids
An Oligopeptide has:
6 amino acids
The normal range for blood Glucose is:
70-110mlg.
What is Insulin's job?
Bring down blood sugar. (Insulin - Betta cells)
Carbohydrates and Fat both consist of these three atoms
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
The process by which two molecules are put together is called (hint: water is lost)
Dehydration synthesis
All carbohydrates are converted into Fructose by the liver after they have been absorbed
False
Being lactose intolerant means that you can NEVER drink any milk
False
Cis fatty acids never occur in nature
False
Only essential amino acids can become conditionally essential
False
Saturated fatty acids contain lots of double bonds between carbons
False
Starving people are usually in POSITIVE nitrogen balance
False
The "Amino Group" is what makes each amino acid unique
False
The t-RNA goes into the nucleus and copies the code of the nucleotides to make proteins
False
Vegetable proteins are MORE digestible than animal proteins
False
You can "eat" HDL & LDL
False
There are a total of 11 amino acids
False (20 = 11 nonessential makes by the liver + 9 essential from food)
The sweetest MS is
Fructose
The three Monosaccharaides are
Glucose, Galactose, Fructose
Glucagon is:
Hormone made by pancreas, brings up blood sugar
The process by which molecules are "split up" is called (hint: this occurs a lot during digestion)
Hydrolysis
These are the three DS and this is what each one is made up of
Lactose = Glc+Gal Sucrose = Glc+Frc Maltose = Glc+Glc
Name the two things "hydrogenation" does to a fatty acid molecule
Make it more solid. It takes an unsaturated fat and turns it into a saturated fat.
Glucose is:
Monosaccharide
Amino acids consist of:
Oxygen, Hydrogen, Carbon, & Nitrogen
Insulin and Glucagon are made by this organ...
Pancreas
What is Glucagon's job?
Raise back blood sugar. (Glucagon - alpha cells)
Galactose is:
Simple monosaccharide
Fiber contains calories
True
Phospholipids are soluble in water and fat
True
The more you weigh, the higher your protein requirement is
True
There are 9 essential amino acids
True
Glycogen is:
in Liver & Muscles
Glycerol is:
part of the structure of a triacyglycerol
