Nutrients
We measure the energy content of food in these units.
What are calories?
Lipids and carbohydrates contain these three elements.
What is carbon, hydrogen and oxygen?
When blood sugar gets low, glucagon is released by the pancreas. Glucagon causes the release of this substance that is stored in your liver and muscles.
What is glycogen?
A hot dog (no bun) is likely to contain these main two nutrients.
What is protein and fat?
Through the process of our body digesting and breaking the bonds that hold the atoms in food particles together, this is released?
What is energy?
This macromolecule contains the most energy but is not the first the body uses to power itself.
What are lipids?
When our body attempts to speed up a process or cause it to increase in amplitude, this is an example of this type of feedback loop.
What is positive?
By multiplying the number of calories per serving by the number of servings per package, we can determine this.
What is the total number of calories for the entire package?
These are the 20 building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
The building blocks or monomers of lipids such as triglycerides consist of these two groups.
What are glycerol and fatty acid chains?
Many people with this type of diabetes can maintain good blood sugar control by following a proper meal plan without having to take medication.
What is type II?
The process of dehydration synthesis results in this common byproduct.
What is water?
This type of diabetes is more commonly found in people who eat diets high in sugar content.
What is type II?
Glucose is this type of monomer or building block used to make more complex carbohydrates.
What are monosaccharides?
Nutritionists suggest that most diets should minimize the consumption of these man-made fats.
What are trans fats?
This is the amount of sodium an individual with a 2000 calorie diet should consume each day.
What is between 1500 to 2300 mg each day?
What are the amino and carboxyl groups?
When tested for insulin producing levels, John was found to have a steady rate of producing about 80 picomoles/L, even after eating a meal high in glucose. John likely has this type of diabetes.
What is type I?
The process of water being introduced to two or more molecules connected together, causing them to split apart into individual stable molecules.
What is hydrolysis?
The structure of saturated and unsaturated fats are very similar with the exception that unsaturated fats contain more of these.
What are carbon-carbon double bonds (saturated fats have more hydrogen atoms)?
This reagent is used to detect glucose.
What is benedict's solution?
