Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the primary fuel source for...
Muscle, Liver, and Brain
This type of lipid would have at least two double bonds.
Polyunsaturated
This bond is what binds one amino acid to another, forming proteins.
Peptide Bonds
These are all the lipid soluble vitamins
A, D, E, K
This classification of mineral is found in lower quantities in the body and requires lower dietary intake.
Microminerals
The compound consists of live bacteria that are beneficial to the human gut.
Probiotics
This term refers to a lipid that is bound to a carbohydrate.
Glycolipids
These three amino acids are jointly referred to as the Branch Chain Amino Acids.
Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine
This term refers to the addition of key vitamins and minerals to commonly consumed foods to enhance the food’s nutritional content.
Fortification
This mineral supports bone mineral density.
Calcium
An example of a monosaccharide would be...
Glucose / Fructose / Galactose / Ribose / Xylose
This oxidative reaction to lipids can lead them to spoil and smell rancid.
Peroxidation
This digestive enzyme begins the process of breaking proteins into amino acids.
Pepsin
The inactive form of this vitamin is called cholecalciferol.
Vitamin D
These minerals are our primary electrolytes
Sodium, Potassium, and Chloride
This phase of the digestive track features no enzymes specific to carbohydrates.
Stomach
A thick semifluid mass of partially digested food and digestive secretions that is formed in the stomach and small intestine during digestion of lipids.
Chyme
These two amino acids are unique in that they are NOT Glucogenic.
Leucine and Lysine
This vitamin leads to the production of prothrombin, which supports blood clotting.
Vitamin K
This mineral supports the formation of white blood cells and our immune system.
Zinc
This term refers to the comparison of foods to see which raises blood glucose more.
Glycemic Index
The specific group of molecules at the end of a lipid chain is called...
Carboxylic Acid (COOH)
This term refers to the process of proteins being broken down for fuel.
Deamination
The active form of this vitamin are the coenzymes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP)
Vitamin B-3, Niacin
This form of anemia is due to insufficient iron
Microcytic Hypochomic Anemia
