Question | Answer |
What does CHO stand for | Carbohydrates |
what are the sources of CHO | Plant foods- 1.grain cereal, 2.veggies, 3.fruits, 4.nuts, 5.sugars |
what are the types of CHO | 1.Monosaccharides(simple form), 2.Disaccharids(pairs of mono's), 3.Polysaccharides(Complex CHO's) |
What are the names the types of Monosaccharides | 1.glucose, 2.Fructose, 3.Galactose |
What are the names the types of Disaccharides | 1.Sucrose, 2.Malotose, 3.Lactose |
What are the names the types of Polysaccharides | 1.Starch, 2.Glycogen, 3.Cellulose |
How does Monosaccharides digest/absorb in the body | Directly absorbed in bllod stream |
How does Disaccharides digest/absorb in the body | converted to simple then into blood stream |
How does Polysaccharides digest/absorb in the body | Starch-starts in the mouth and complete in small intestine then absorbed into the blood stream |
Name 2 things related to all CHO's in relation to digestion and absorption | All CHO has to be changed to glucose before it can be used by the bodies cells. Any excess glucose is converted to glycogen &stored in liver & muscles, but if too much, the rest is converted to fat & stored in adipose tissue as Tryglycerides |
What is the purpose of CHO | To 1.provide energy, and 2.provide fiber |
What is the function of CHO | For 1.protein sparing, 2.normal fat metabolism, |
what is the types of proteins (PRO) | 1.incomlpete-lacks one or more amino acids, & 2.complete-has all essential amino acids |
What are the sources of PRO | Plants and animals |
What are some sources of (incomplete)Plant porteins | 1.corn, 2.grains, 3.peanuts, 4.peas, 5.beans, 6.nuts, 7.seeds |
what are some sources of (complete)animal proteins | 1.eggs, 2.meat, 3.fish, 4.milk, 5.poultry |
What is non-essential amino acids & how many are there | They are amino acids that the body produces, and there are 11 |
What is essential amino acids and how many are there | They are amino acids that the body can't produce BUT must have for normal G&D. there are 9 |
What is the function or purpose of proteins | It is for 1.the building and repair of body tissues, 2.to regulate body functions, 3.and provide energy (1gm=4cal) |
when does digestion and absorption of proteins take place | Mechanically-starts in the mouth by teeth grinding... chemically-starts in stomach & ends in small intestine where amino acids carried by blood to all body tissues |
What does the term PROTEIN stand for | "Of first importance" = Greek |
what is the purpose of Fat | To 1.provide energy, 2.provide satiety to meals, 3.protect & support organs & bones, 4.insulation from the cold, 5.& is essintial for the structure and function of the body tissues |
What are food sources of fats | Animal and Plant |
What are the yypes of fats | 1.cholesterol, 2.saturated, 3.monosaturated, and 4.polysaturated fats |
How are fats digested/absorpted | by a complex process- most digestion occurs in small intestine. Bile emulsifies fats and pancreatic enzimes separate to fatty acids |
What is the range for VLDL | 55-65% TRI |
What is the range for LDL | 45% chol with few TRI |
What is the purpose of HDL | Choleterol to liver for excretion |
