Cards

Term
proteins
Definition
large molecules made by DNA and contain C,H,O,N
built from 20 amino acids connected by peptide bonds
Term
essential acids
Definition
connot be produced in sufficient qualities
- histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalnine, threonine, tryptophan, valine
Term
nonessential
Definition
can be made by body
Term
transamination
Definition
transfer of an amine group from essential acid to a different acid group and side chain to make nonessiental acid
Term
conditionally essential amino acids
Definition
nonessential turned essential (PKU-phenylanine is not avalible so the body cannot make tyrosine(ne)
Term
PKU symptoms
Definition
mental retardation, delayed development, seizure, hyperactivity, poor bones, skin rashes, no melanin, small head
Term
how are proteins made
Definition
gene expression- cells use genes to make proteins
transcription- mRNA copies info form genes
translation- RNA is converted to amino acid sequence
Term
organization determines function
Definition
order of amino acids and spiral shape from twist in chain
Term
protein denature
Definition
lose shapes due to heat, acid, base, metal, alcohol, digestion
Term
complete protein
Definition
all 9 amino acids mostly derived form animal source and soy(not infants)
Term
mutal supplementation
Definition
combine two or more incomplete proteins to complete
Term
complementary protein
Definition
two or more foods combined to supply 9 acids
Term
protein digestion in stomach
Definition
HCl denatures proteins and activates pepsin
Term
pepsin
Definition
enzyme breaks down protiens into short polypeptides and amino acids
Term
gastrin
Definition
hormone controls HCl and pepsin
Term
digestion in small intestine
Definition
pancreatic protease complete digestion
special sites absorb and transport amino acids, di/tri peptides
high dose of single amino acid lead to competition at the site and leads to toxicity and defiences
Term
estimate protein quality
Definition
chemical score- amount of limiting amino acid in one food compared to same amino acid in another food
PDCAAs- higher digestablilty =more complete( animal and soy are 90% absorbed)
Term
functions of protein
Definition
cell growth and repair
enzynes and hormones
fluid and electrolyte balance
acid base balance
immune
energy source
nutrient transport and storage
Term
protein adequacy
Definition
nitrogen balance determines protein need
Term
RDA for protein
Definition
.8g per kg of body weight
10-35%
higher during growth in children and pregos
no mor ethan 2g per kg
Term
too much protein
Definition
high cholesterol and heart disease (bc saturated fat in animals)
bone loss- inc Ca secretion
kidney problems
Term
kidney disease
Definition
people with type 2 diabetes need low protein diet
Term
benefits of vegetarion
Definition
lower fat and total energy intake
lower blood pressure
dec risk of heart disease
dec digestive problems
dec risk in cancer,kidney, gallstones
Term
problems of vegetarian
Definition
low in nutrients vitamin D, B12, riboflavinB2, zinc and iron
Term
protein energy malnutrition
Definition
inadequate protein and energy intake
BMI <16kg
Term
marasmus
Definition
deficiency of protein and CHOs and includes: muscle wasting, stunted brain development, learning,metabolism and growth, anemia, weak immune, skin and bones
Term
kwashiorkor
Definition
CHO intake is greater than protein (normal calorie intake) and includes: weight loss, muscle wasting, retarded growth and development, edema, fluid imbalance, distention of belly, fatty degeneration of liver, skin problems and hair loss,
Term
PKU
Definition
inherited disease that cannot breakdown phenylalanine so it builds up in tissue and cause brain damage
should be noted at birth and has to live on a low PKU diet
Term
sickle cell anemia
Definition
disease of RBC form both parents
- cells are cresent shaped causing them to be hard and sticky so blood flow is restricted
-damages organs expically spleen
-short life span= anemia
-impaired vision, headaches, convulsions, bone degeneration
Term
cystic fibrosis
Definition
inherited disease affecting respitory and digestive
alteration of chloride transport in cell
cells create thick sticky mucus
wheezing coughing and stunted growth
