2. What are the basic nutrients and what is the ratio between them?
Basic nutrients
- Carbohydrates
- Lipids/ fats
- Proteins
- Vitamins
- Minerals
- Water
Anabolic, needs energy METABOLISM
Catabolic, energy comes free
Carbohydrates
1 gram carbohydrates is 4Kcal
Vegetable based
Photosynthesis 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2
Glucose, fructose, galactose are monosaccharide
A pair of sugars is called disaccharides
A long chain of glucose is poly saccharides
Fats / Lipids
Essential in cell membranes, for vitamins A and D 1 gram fat is 9Kcal. Negative
health effect is obesitas and heart diseases.
The types of fatty acids are saturated and unsaturated. Saturated is harmful
because a higher level of cholesterol usually animal fat.
Unsaturated occurs in fats and oils.
Proteins
Proteins are needed to build and repair the body tissue. Body proteins are constantly
being broken down and renewed. Proteins are also needed to measure the metabolic
functions of the body cellular protein synthesis.
Vitamins
Organic substance which is needed in small amounts. They cannot be synthesized in
the body. A lack of vitamins causes a deficiency.
Water
The vitamins B group and vitamin C will dissolve in water, Vitamin B1 Thiamin
(tiredness)
Vitamin B2 Riboflavin, Vitamin C less resistance
