Basic structure of amino acid
Central carbon, amino group, acid group
Sodium
Major cation in the extracellular fluid, most abundant solute.
HF
hydrofluoric acid
trans fat (snacks, bakery)
saturated fats (animal)
cholesterol (eggs, seafood, meat)
Bad Fats
methyl
a hydrocarbon containing one positive charge
Amino acids
Building blocks for protein
135-145mEg/L
Sodium serum level
HCl
hydrochloric acid
concentrated source of energy (9 calories per gram)
carry essential fatty acids, fat-soluble vitamins, and healthy phytochemicals
gives cell membrane flexibility and integrity, regulates transfer of nutrients
saturated and trans fat raise blood cholesterol levels more than other fats
Fats
neutral
having no preference or tendency to move one way or the other; neither acid nor base
20
How many amino acids are there?
Cause the individual to feel thirsty and the posterior pituitary gland to release the anti-diuretic hormone
Increased serum sodium levels
HBr
hydrobromic acid
Triglycerides
3 fatty acids + 1 glycerol molecule
fat soluble vitamins (linoleic, linolenic)
alkali
A base is also known as a(n
Contains all of the essential AA
All animal proteins and soybeans
What is a complete protein or high quality protein?
Stimulate the renal tubules to conserve water and sodium when the body's sodium level is low, thus helping to normalize extracellular fluid sodium levels
Role of aldosterone
HI
hydroiodic acid
Functions
storage form of energy (3500 calories per pound, excess stored in adipose tissue)
cushions kidneys and heart
protects the organs and insulates them (temperature regulation)
Potassium Hydroxide
The strongest base listed
C, H, N, O
What are the elements in the chemical structure of amino acids
Fluid volume excess
Hypovolemia
HClO₄
perchloric acid
Saturated Fats
maximum hydrogen possible
solid at room temperature
carbon molecules are saturated with hydrogen
soap
sodium hydroxide
