Back (Answer)

vitamins, minerals

#3
Front (Question)

food calories

Back (Answer)

amount of energy required to raise the temp of one liter of water by one degree celsius

#4
Front (Question)

if all cells have proteins, carbs, and fats, why do we talk about muscles being protein, grains = carbs, fat cells = fats?

Back (Answer)

the ratio differs

#5
Front (Question)

general digestion overview

Back (Answer)

• mouth • esophagus • stomach • small intestine • large intestine • rectum

#6
Front (Question)

stomach

Back (Answer)

acidic, mixing, some protein breakdown

#7
Front (Question)

small intestine

Back (Answer)

where most digestion and absorption occurs, help from gallbladder and pancreatic enzymes

#8
Front (Question)

large intestine

Back (Answer)

stores waste before elimination, reabsorbs water and salts, absorbs water soluble vitamins

#9
Front (Question)

liver

Back (Answer)

makes bile

#10
Front (Question)

gallbladder

Back (Answer)

stores bile to be released in the small intestine

#11
Front (Question)

pancreas

Back (Answer)

creates enzymes to aid in digestion, and insulin/glucagon to regulate blood sugar

#12
Front (Question)

breakdown of carbs

Back (Answer)

mouth - enzymes in saliva stomach = enzymes inactivated small intestine - pancreatic enzymes - poly into mono and di

#13
Front (Question)

breakdown of proteins

Back (Answer)

stomach - acid and enzymes start breakdown small intestine - pancreatic enzymes continue digestion and absorption of amino acids

#14
Front (Question)

glycemic index

Back (Answer)

carbs that require little to no digestion (absorbed quickly in the beginning of small intestine) have a high glycemic index, spike blood sugar

#15
Front (Question)

bile - what is it, how does it aid digestion

Back (Answer)

helps break down large fat globules into smaller droplets that are easier for digestive enzymes to break down, made in liver, stored gallbladder

#16
Front (Question)

food desert

Back (Answer)

areas that lack access to fresh, healthy, affordable food area poverty rate = 20% urban - 33% 1 mile from store rural - 33% 10 miles from store

#17
Front (Question)

digestion of fats and oils

Back (Answer)

small intestine - bile emulsifies enables breakdown into fatty acids and cholesterol by enzymes, absorption

#18

Back (Answer)

collection of all microbes that naturally live on our bodies and inside us

#19
Front (Question)

how does our microbiome help us

Back (Answer)

discourage harmful bacteria - competition, natural antibiotics produces helpful substances - vitamin K

#20
Front (Question)

ratio of human cells to microbes

Back (Answer)

1;1

#21
Front (Question)

factors that influence microbiome during birth

Back (Answer)

mode of delivery - c-section babies don’t get same microbes as babies born from vaginal canal

#22
