Sterols	A sex hormone and adrenal hormone are substances derived form this lipid
225 kilocalories	are potentially provided by 25 grams of fat
Olive oil and cashew nuts	rich sources of monounsaturated fatty acid
A key structural componant of a cells membrane	phospholipids
These organs assist in the digestion of lipids	liver, gallbladdar, and pancreas
Major classes of dietary lipids	triglycerides, sterols, and phospholipids
fatty acid that contains a chain of ten carbons and one double bond is termed a fatty acid	monosaturated, medium chain
function of fat in the human body	fats assist transport of fat-soluble vitamins, maintains integridy of cell membranes and provides insuation to help retain body heat
Saturated Fat	Solid at room tempurature
Two essential fatty acids	alpha-linolenic and linolenic
the vast majority of fat digestion and absorption occurs in	small intestine
to facilitate the digestions of dietary fats, the gallbladder stores and releases a substance known as this	biile
Majority of triglycerides are stored here for future energy needs	adipose tissue
Saturated fats are	found in whole milk and beef
researchers found the strong association with dietary fat intake and	prostate cancer
major form of fat in both food and body	triglycerides
Fatty acids	created during the hydogenation process
chylomicron	a lipoprotein transports dietary fat out of the small intestines
medium chain fattty acids are	6-12 carbon atoms in length
Fructose and glucose, bonded together form	table sugar
insoluble fiber consumption is associated with	decreased blood cholesterol levels
Preferred fuels for most body functions	carbohydrates and fats
Carbohydrates contain	carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
hormone released when blood sugar is too high	insulin
Complex carbohydrates refer to	polysaccarides

pectins	an example of a soluble fiber
(RDA) od carbohydrates for an adult	130 grams
a technique by athletes to increase their storage of muscle glycogen	carbohydrate loading
glycemic index	extent to which a given food raises blood glucose and insulin
insulin	hormone responsible for moving glucose into the bodys cells after a meal
this carbohydrate is the end product of photosynthesis	glucose

insulin is synthesized and released by this	pancreas
Cellulose	insoluble fiber that provides the main structural component of plant cell wall
saccharine	artificaial sweetmer that was almost banned because of relationship with bladder cancer
glucose	major monosaccaride found in the body
enrichd food	nutrients in the food were lost during the process and then added back in
a lower fiber diet is associated with an increased risk of developing	diverticulosis
liver and muscles	major storage sites for glycogen
glycogen	the storage form of glucose in animals found in the liver and skeletal muscle
The process through which mRNA copies genetic information from DNA and carries it to the ribisome	transcription
proteins differ from carbs because	proteins cintain nitogen
this strucure refers to the twisting, spiral shape formed by the sequence and chemical properties of its amino acids	proteins secondary structure
most protein from this plannt source	soybean
major functions of protein in the human body	maintaining fluid balance, growth and maintenence of new tissue and synthesis of hormones
egg whites stiffen when they are whipped, this change that occurs in the protein is called	denaturation
part of amino acid molecule	central carbon, amine group, and an acid group
amine group	protein molecule that carries nitrogen
dictates the structure of a protein molecule synthesized by the body	DNA inside the nucleus of the cell
conduction of nerve signals and contraction of muscles depends on the proper balance of	electrolytes
polypeptides	string of more than 10 amino acids
mutual supplementation	process of combining two incomplete proteins to make a complete protein
protein thats fundamental to the nervous system	antibodies
translation	the process of protein synthesis which the messenger RNA is decoded into an amino acid sequence at the cells ribosome
nitrogen	is what differs protein different from fat
significant chemical digestion of protein begins in	stomach
struture of the mammalian cell are proteins synthesized	ribosome
source of complete protein	chicken
a complete protein contains	all 9 amino acids
absorption of proteins occurs	small intestine
