Chemistry & Nutrition Unit 2
2
Metabolism Sum of all chemical reactions Synthesis (A+B AB)
Anabolism Combine amino acids to make proteins Decomposition (AB A+B) Catabolism Glycogen Glucose
3
Inorganic Compounds Water Daily Needs Vary Universal solvent
Transport medium High heat capacity Effective lubricant Daily Needs Vary
4
Dehydration 2% can cause 10-20 % performance drop Thirst
Physical symptoms Urine color
5
Water Weight? Kidneys maintain proper amount in body
Start exercise &/or diet program and lose weight quickly Initial energy source is glycogen Glycogen is bound to 3-4 water molecules Deplete glycogen = lots of extra water Will be replaced by eating carbs!
6
Inorganic Compounds Salts (Ionic compounds) Cations & anions
Electrolytes Acids & bases pH scale Buffer systems
7
Organic Compounds Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins
8
Carbs - Monosaccharides
Glucose Fructose Galactose Isomers - C6H12O6
9
Carbs - Disaccharides Formed by dehydration synthesis
Sucrose C12H22O11 Glucose + fructose Lactose C12H22O11 Glucose + galactose
10
Carbs - Polysaccharides
Starch & glycogen Alpha glucose Branched Easily digested Cellulose & fiber Beta glucose Unbranched Not digestible
11
Structure Determines Function
Simple vs. Complex Hydrolysis Starch vs. Fiber
12
Lipids Triglycerides (saturated fats vs. mono & poly unsaturated fats)
13
Lipids Oils solidified by adding extra H atoms to double bonds (hydrogenation) Makes them solid or semi-solid
14
Trans Fats Result of side reaction during hydrogenation
Added energy changes bonding to a form not recognized by the body
15
Proteins Made of amino acids Join by peptide bonds
Enzymes, structural, etc., etc. Can denature & lose shape
16
NUTRITION
18
My Plate Food System
21
Basic Healthy Eating Balance caloric intake with caloric output
Different caloric contents for each type of nutrient 1 g carbs = 4 calories 1 g protein = 4 calories 1 g fat = 9 calories
23
Reading a Food Label CHECK THE SERVING SIZE!
CHECK AMOUNT OF FAT, CARBS, & PROTEIN
24
So why isn’t it that simple?
Differences between people Counting macros Keto diet Paleo diet
