|
These are fats/organic compounds most common in our bodies. Composed of carbon, hydroge and oxygen?
|
Lipids
|
Fatty meats, egg yolk, dairy products.
|
|
|
A Lipid that is stored in adipose tissue,protects and insulate organs and major source of stored energy?
|
Triglycerides
|
3 long fatty chains attached to a one small glycerol molecule.
|
|
|
Lipids such as cholesterol which is found in membranes and is the synthesis of vitamin D?
|
Steroid
|
|
|
|
Explain 3 important uses of Lipids?
|
1. Source of Energy
2. Covering if Nerve Cells 3. In the synthesis of steroids |
|
|
|
How are Fatty acids broken down?
|
Fatty acids which are long structurs must be broken into tiny units before they go to mitochondria & be a part the acid cycle(Krep cycle)then once in the mitochondria then releases a huge amount of energy!
|
|
|
|
How are fatty acids made?
|
When extra calories are consumed, the enzymes that synthesize fat are stimulated,then the fat is deposited in adipose tissue in the body!
|
|
|
|
A series of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds & useful for many body functions; muscles,hemoglobin, skin,hair and protects from diseases?
|
Proteins
|
|
|
|
Building blocks of protein;come mostly from protein foods and there about 20 to build body protein?
|
Amino Acids
|
|
|
|
Name 3 important uses of Proteins?
|
Synthesis of:
1. Hormones 2. Enzymes 3. Antibodies 4. Plasma & Muscle Proteins 5. Hemoglobin & Cell membranes. |
|
|
|
Like carbs/lipids, amino acids also contain this extra element (amine group)is called?
|
Nitrogen (NH2)
|
|

|
Nitrogen (NH2)
|
|
|
|
Why do amino acids nd to break down & must be handled by either recycled/used for different amino acids or changed to urea and excreted?
|
Amino acids contain "Nitrogen" (NH2)
|
|
|
|
This is formed when the amine group (NH2) of one amino acid joins w/the acid (COOH)group of a second amino acid?
|
Peptide bond
|
|
|
|
When several amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds?
|
Peptide
|
|
|
|
When many amino acids are joined together?
|
Polypeptide
|
|
|
|
When the Nitrogen that is released from a breakdown of amino acids then removed from the amino acid and then the liver converts it to Urea?
|
Urea Cycle (conversion of protein to Urea)
|
