-Reduces blood cholesterol
-Controls blood glucose
-Promotes satiety
What enzymes are involved in the digestion of carbs and where does it begin? - answer✔-In the
mouth by salivary amylase enzymes
What is glucagon? - answer✔Hormone produced by the pancraes whe blood glucose is low. It
breaks down glycogen into glucose.
What is insulin? - answer✔Hormone produced by the pancreas to help lower blood glucose.
Helps move glucose from blood into body cells.
What is the RDA for carbs? - answer✔45-65% of calories or 130 g/day
What is the Recommended percentage intake of sugars? - answer✔-Less than 10% a day
What are the properties of lipids? - answer✔Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
What are the main functions of lipids? - answer✔Structural component of every cell, insulin,
long term energy storage, regulate cellar processes.
What are the 3 types of lipids? - answer✔triglycerides, phospholipids, sterols (cholesterol)
What is the structure of triglycerides? - answer✔3 fatty acids bonded to glycerol backbone
What is the structure of phospholipids? - answer✔Glycerol backbone with at least one fatty
acid replaced by phosphorus (and often nitrogen too)
What ability do phospholipids have that set them apart from other fats? - answer✔Can interact
with water on polar end
What is the structure of Sterols? - answer✔Multi-ring structure of carbon molecules
Sterols are also known as: - answer✔Cholesterol
Where are sterols (cholesterol) synthesized? - answer✔The liver of animals and humans
What are sterols used for? - answer✔-Cell membranes, formation of hormones and bile acid.
What is the structure of a fatty acid? - answer✔Alpha end (acid) and Omega end (methyl)
Facts about saturated fats: - answer✔-No double bonds
