Study Notes

Carbohydrates, Lipids, and Proteins

  • Carbohydrates: Composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms

  • Monosaccharides: Basic unit of carbohydrates (glucose, fructose, galactose)

  • Disaccharides: Two monosaccharides bonded together (sucrose, lactose, maltose)

  • Polysaccharides: Three or more monosaccharides bonded together (starch, fiber, glycogen)

  • Starch: Plant storage form of carbohydrates (amylose, amylopectin)

  • Fiber: Non-starch polysaccharides, resist digestion

  • Glycogen: Animal storage form of carbohydrate, stored in liver and muscle

  • Carbohydrate functions: Energy source, protein sparing, metabolic primer, nerve function fuel

  • Important for physical activity and exercise performance: Intensity, duration, and fitness impact carbohydrate utilization

  • Glucose: Blood sugar, primary fuel source for nerve tissue and red blood cells, plays a key role during physical activity

  • Glycogenolysis: Breakdown of glycogen to glucose

  • Gluconeogenesis: Synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources (protein)

  • Glycogenesis: Synthesis of glycogen from glucose

  • Hypoglycemia: Low blood glucose, can lead to symptoms including weakness, hunger, confusion

  • Lipids: Composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, with a higher H:O ratio than carbohydrates

  • Triacylglycerols (Triglycerides): Most common type of dietary fat, storage form of lipids

  • Saturated fatty acids: Contain only single bonds between carbon atoms. Typically solid at room temperature.

  • Unsaturated fatty acids: Contain one or more double bonds. Typically liquid at room temperature (oils).

  • Monounsaturated fatty acids: One double bond.

  • Polyunsaturated fatty acids: Two or more double bonds.

  • Cholesterol: Important component of cell membranes, precursor for hormones

  • Low-density lipoprotein (LDL): "Bad" cholesterol, can contribute to plaque formation in arteries

  • High-density lipoprotein (HDL): "Good" cholesterol, helps remove cholesterol from arteries

  • Trans fatty acids: Created through hydrogenation of unsaturated fats.

  • Important for physical activity and exercise performance: Primary energy source during low-intensity exercise, spares protein

  • Proteins: Composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms

  • Amino acids: Basic building blocks of proteins

  • Essential amino acids: Body cannot produce, must be obtained from diet (nine in total)

  • Non-essential amino acids: Body can produce

  • Protein functions: Structural component of tissues, enzymes, hormones, and vital molecules

  • Protein catabolism: Breakdown of proteins to amino acids and urea

  • Transamination: Transfer of an amine group from one amino acid to another amino acid to create a new amino acid.

  • Protein dynamics during physical activity: Amount of protein used for energy increases with higher exercise intensity

  • Alanine-glucose cycle: Alanine travels from muscle to liver, where it's converted to glucose for release into the bloodstream to supply energy to active muscles

  • Protein balance: Nitrogen intake (protein) equals nitrogen excretion (urine, feces, sweat)

  • Nitrogen balance: Positive, negative, or zero balance

  • Protein requirements: Varies by individual needs, age, activity level

  • Intake and exercise intensity and duration, and the presence or absence of carbohydrates significantly influence body protein metabolism
