NUTR 251 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1-5: Acetyl-Coa, Cori Cycle, Citric Acid Cycle
Document Summary
Spring 2018: metabolism is the sum of all chemical reactions in living cells, define anabolism and catabolism. Anabolism building up of body compounds and requires energy. Catabolism breakdown of body compounds and releases energy: name the compound that is used to store or release energy in living cells. Water, carbon dioxide and atp: all the energy yielding nutrients can be broken down to acetyl coa and go into the tca cycle and produce atp, a cell cannot use acetyl coa to make glucose. Explain your answer: a cell can use pyruvate to make glucose. Spring 2018: define simple and complex carbohydrates. Complex polysaccharide"s: name the three most important monosaccharides in nutrition. Can be produced whenever starch breaks down during digestion or during fermentation. Refined from sugarcane and sugar beets, tastes sweet and is readily available. Dietary provide structure in plants, and are very diverse and cannot be broken down by human enzymes (non-starch polysaccharides)
