Nutrition/Metabolism Part 1

trans fats

Saturated and ________ are associated with increased blood cholesterol.

Cis fats

________- have "kinks "in the carbon chain.

Malnutrition

________- when the organism is not receiving the optimal amount of nutrients to be healthy.

ATP

________ is then used to fuel any mechanical work or process that requires energy input.

Carbs

________ and fats are broken down via metabolic processes and converted to adenosine triphosphate- the bodys energy currency.

fatty acids

Formed by partial hydrogenation- reaction where polyunsaturated ________ get hydrogens attached to them to make them more saturated.

nucleic acids

Building blocks for structures- this is how lots of proteins, ________, and lipids get used.

Nutrition

________- composition and quality of food intake and the utilization of food by a living organism.

Overnutrition

________- plenty of nutrients in amount and type.

Carbohydrates

________ and proteins are already partially reduced because they have carbons bonded to oxygens.

Optimal nutrition

________- amount and type of nutrients in the diet designed to increase health and longevityCardiovascular Disease and Health Disparities.

Heart disease

________ costs the US about $ 219 billion each year from 2014 to 2015.

lipids

Energy- biochemical reactions release the energy in carbohydrates, ________, and proteins.

Alcohols

________ are somewhat in between carbohydrates /proteins & fats because they have a hydrocarbon portion bonded to an OH groupTypes of Fats.

Compounds

________ are broken down for energy by oxidative metabolism- which is why we need oxygen.

Unhealthy diets

________ + lack of physical activity= increased BMI and risk of obesity.

Regulation of body

________ processes- all chemical reactions in the body (metabolism) are regulated to create a stable environment that is said to be in homeostasis.

ATP

________ has three phosphate groups with 2 high energy phosphoanhydride bonds and a lower energy phosphate ester bond linking the adenosine and the alpha phosphate.

Trans fats

________- look like saturated fats.

Heart disease

________ is the leading cause of death for men & women as well as people of most racial & ethnic groups in the US.
