to gain a basic knowledge that will enable you to make effective choices about nutritional needs -
✔✔goal of this class
social, biological, physical, psychological - ✔✔the study of human nutrition requires the integration of
these sciences
providing energy, forming structures, regulating body processes - ✔✔functions of nutrients
it provides the right amount of energy to keep weight in desirable range; the proper types and balance
of carbs, proteins, and fats; plenty of water; sufficient amounts of essential vitamins and minerals - ✔✔a
healthy diet
those that provide energy, those that are important for growth and development, and those that keep
body functions running smoothly - ✔✔categories nutrients fall under
those elements in food required by the body for proper function, growth, maintenance, reproduction,
and a healthy life - ✔✔essential nutrients
water, proteins, fat, minerals, carbohydrates, and other substances - ✔✔the human body is composed
of...
a measure of the nutrient a food provides compared to its energy output - ✔✔nutrient density
enzyme-catalyzed reactions that allow organisms to grow, reproduce, maintain their structures, and
respond to their environments. - ✔✔metabolism
using energy to construct components of cells (building) - ✔✔anabolism
, the breakdown of organic matter - ✔✔catabolism
major and trace minerals - ✔✔two types of minerals
chain of amino acids; there are 20 essential amino acids - ✔✔protein
soluble and insoluble (cannot be dissolved in water because high amount of cellulose) - ✔✔two types of
fiber
required by the body to function normally; omega 3 and omega 6 - ✔✔essential fatty acids
endoplasmic reticulum (rough and smooth), nucleus, mitochondria - ✔✔key cellular organelles

essential processes of life - ✔✔cellular respiration
A measure of disorder or randomness; enzymes are needed to make both order and disorder -
✔✔entropy
cannot have one without the other
catabolism: uses ADP and gives ATP (requires energy)
anabolism: uses ATP and gives ADP (releases energy) - ✔✔yin and yang
site of cellular respiration, where ATP is made - ✔✔mitochondria
biological catalysts that work by lowering the activation energy for a reaction, thus dramatically
increasing the rate of reaction - ✔✔enzymes
