Anaphy (Nutrition , Metabolism and Body Temperature Regulation)

is the process by which food is taken into and used by the body; it includes digestion absorption ,transport,and metabolism

are the chemical taken into the body that provide  energy and building blocks for molecules

Nutrients can be divided into 6 major classes

An element is considered a ___ element when its requirement per day is below 100 mg

Examples of trace Elements

the major organic
nutrients

are a measure of energy. They refer to the amount of energy in foods and
beverages, or the amount of energy you burn exercising.

together in long, complex chains.

is an energy found in vegetables and fruits

Energy storage molecule in animals and is located primarily in muscle and in the liver

are fatty compounds that perform a variety of
functions in your body.

a fatty acid in which the hydrocarbon molecules have two carbons that share double or triple bond(s) and are therefore not completely saturated with hydrogen atom

is a type of fat with certain chemical properties that is usually solid at room
temperature

is a fat-like, waxy substance that helps your
body make cell membranes, many hormones, and vitamin
D.

are large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the
body

What are the 9 essential amino acids?

Plant foods that contain all nine essential amino acid

your body turns this amino acid into the neurotransmitters tyrosine, dopamine,
epinephrine, and norepinephrine

AA that helps stimulate muscle growth and regeneration and is involved in energy production

AA that is a principal part of structural proteins, such as collagen and elastin, which are
important components of your skin and connective tissue

Often associated with drowsiness, ___ AA  is a precursor to serotonin, a
neurotransmitter that regulates your appetite, sleep, and mood

This amino acid plays an important role in metabolism and detoxification

s a BCAA that is critical for protein synthesis and muscle repair.
It also helps regulate blood sugar levels, stimulates wound healing, and produces growth
hormones

AA that is involved in muscle metabolism and is
heavily concentrated in muscle tissue

plays major roles in protein synthesis, calcium absorption, and the production of hormones and enzymes. It’s also important for energy production, immune function, and the production of collagen and elastin

our body uses this amino acid to produce histamine, a neurotransmitter that is vital to immune response, digestion, sexual function, and sleep-wake cycles.

are a group of substances that are needed for normal cell function, growth, and
development

occurs when
you do not get enough of a certain vitamin.

The four fat-soluble
vitamins are

Water soluble vitamins are

helps form and maintain healthy teeth, bones, soft tissue, mucous membranes, and skin

is also called pyridoxine. Vitamin __ helps form red blood cells and maintain brain function.

like the other B vitamins, is important for metabolism. It also helps form red blood cells
and maintain the central nervous system

also called ascorbic acid, is an antioxidant that promotes healthy teeth and gums. It helps
the body absorb iron and maintain healthy tissue. It is also essential for wound healing

also known as the "sunshine vitamin," since it is made by the body after being in the
sun

is an antioxidant also known as tocopherol. It helps the body form red blood cells and use
vitamin K

is needed because without it, blood would not stick together (coagulate). Some studies
suggest that it is important for bone health.

is essential for the metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates, and in the production of hormones and cholesterol

is a B vitamin that helps maintain healthy skin and nerves. It also has cholesterol-lowering
effects at higher doses.

works with vitamin B12 to help form red blood cells. It is needed for the production of DNA,
which controls tissue growth and cell function.

is essential for the metabolism of food. It also plays a role in the
production of hormones and cholesterol

works with the other B vitamins. It is important for body growth and the
production of red blood cells.

helps the body cells change carbohydrates into energy

helps in normal functioning of the brain and nervous system.

helps the body to change fatty acids into energy.
