Definition
dehydration
Term
______ and positively charged ions and _________ are negatively charged ion
Definition
cations , anions
Term
__________ is a protein responsible for transporting retinol in the liver
Definition

Definition
hardwater , softwater
Term
extracellular fluid accounts for _________ of body's water
Definition
1/3
Term
intracellular fluid is _________
Definition
low in sodium and chloride
Term
beta carotene is a _________
Definition
preursor of vitamin A
Term
riboflavin is easily destroyed by ________
Definition
UV light and irradiation
Term
_________ and _________ are closely related and depend on each other for activation
Definition
vitamin B12 and Folate
Term
excess Riboflavin seems to cause ___________
Definition
no harm
Term
water soluble vitamins
Definition
absorption - directly absorbed
transport - transports on its own
storage - free circulation in watery areas
excretion - easily excreted in euria
toxicity - possible to reach toxic levels with supplement
Term
fat-soluble vitamins
Definition
absorption - first absorbed into lymph nodes
transport - some need proteins to help transport
storage - stay near fat related cells
excretion - not easily excreted, builds up in bodys fat storage areas
toxicity - likely to reach toxicity with supplements
Term

Definition
vitamin D
Term
Hypovitaminosis
Definition
Vitamin A
Term
Hemorrhaging
Definition

Definition
Riboflavin
Term
Pellagra
Definition
Niarin
Term

Definition
Folate
Term
explain why cucumbers sweat when you put salt on them
Definition
because of osmosis, the liquid wants to go to where there is a higher sodium concentration
Term
draw a diagram that explains how the brain and kidneys retain sodium and water
Definition
1) kidneys detect decreased blood flow and secrete renin --> renin starts the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin --> angiotensin constricts blood vessels / angiotensin stimulates adrenal glands to secrete aldosterone --> aldosterone and ADH tell kidney to reobsorb salt and water and increase blood volume
2) hypothalomus detects high salt concentration and stimulates pituitary gland --> pituitary gland secretes ADH --> aldosterone and ADH tell kidney to reobsorb salt and water and increase blood volume
Term
what are three different forms of Vitamin A
Definition
retinol , retinal , retinoic acid
Term
explain the role between water and electrolytes. what is osmosis. what is osmotic pressure
Definition
electrolytes are salts that dissociate in water the positive H+ is attracted to the Cl- and the O- is attracted to the Na+

osmosis is when water travels trhough a membrane to get to the higher concentration of solutes. osmotic pressure is the amount of pressure needed to prevent the water from going through the membrane.
