Macronutrient that provides the majority of energy for your body.
What are carbohydrates?
100
What is glucose?
100
All the chemical reactions in the body.
What is metabolism?
100
Hormone produces in the beta cells that is released in response to high blood sugar.
What is insulin?
100
During exercise, blood sugar will...
What is decrease?
200
Molecules that combine to make a lipid.
What are 3 fattys acids and a glycerol?
200
These 3 elements are the chemical components of all carbohydrates.
What are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen?
200
Category of chemical reactions that store energy in chemical bonds.
What are Anabolic?
200
Hormone released in response to low blood sugar.
What is glucagon? (Adrenaline also accepted)
300
Vitamins, Minerals, and Fiber
What are micronutrients?
300
These FOUR elements are the chemical composition of all proteins.
What are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nirtogen?
300
Reaction where a water molecule is released to bond 2 monosaccharides.
What is a condensation reaction?
300
Insulin triggers the creation of glycogen in the liver and skeletal muscle through this process.
What is glycogenesis?
300
During fasting, this hormone is released.
What is glucagon? (Adrenaline also accepted)
400
Amino acids can be divided into these 2 categories.
What are essential and nonessential amino acids.
400
This fatty acid has multiple double bonds in it's chain, resulting in bends that make it a liquid at room temperature.
What are unsaturated fatty acids?
400
Category of reactions that break down larger molecules.
What are catabolic?
400
The hormone works in combination with glucagon to raise blood sugar.
What is epinephrine (adrenaline)?
400
When glycogen storage is maxed out, insulin stimulates this other process to create lipids.
What is lipogenesis?
500
Amount of energy provided by 100 g of carbohydrates AND 100 g of proteins (2 different amounts, put them in the order of this question).
What is 1760 kJ for carbs and 1720 kJ for proteins?
500
The ratio of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in carbohydrates
What is a 1:2:1?
500
Lipogenesis is an example of this type of metabolic reaction.
What is anabolic?
500
These processes are stimulated by low blood sugar and the presence of glucagon in the blood.
What are glycogenolysis and lipolysis?
500
In addition to insulin, this other process also causes the uptake of glucose and lowering of blood sugar.
What are muscle contraction?
