What kind of food would a marathon runner eat?
Protein for muscular strength and stability and carbohydrates for energy.
Why our body need protein?
Our bodies need protein for growth and repair of cells. for example when a sportsman has torn a muscle he would be advised to eat lots of protein. Also protein can be used as an energy supply when other energy resources (carbohydrates/fats) are limited
What nutrients is the most important?
Withous water, humans (and all animals) perish quickly. After that, carbohydrates are needed for energy, followed by protein and essential fats, as well as needed vitamins and minerals. Water is the most important substance and it is found in most liquids and foods. Protein is very important for energy and healing. Fat is good for energy and carbohydrates are good for energy. So nutrient would have to be protein and substance would have to be water. The body is 60% water.
When does body uses protein as energy?
Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for the body, and proteins mostly make up cell structures. However, proteins act as a backup fuel after the body's source ofcarbohydrates has been depleted.
What would happen to the supply of ATP in your cells if you ate to few carbohydrates. How would your cells be affected?
ATP is the "ready to use" energy in your cells produced by mitochondria. if low amounts of carbohydrates were ingested there would be less energy for the cell to use in its functions like protein synthesis and active transport.
What would happen to the supply of ATP in your cell if you did not eat enough carbohydrates How would this affect your cells?
If your ATP does not have enough carbohydrates it will not have enough energy to carry energy; its job is to carry energy around.
When consumed in excess which energy yielding nutrients can lead to storage of fat?
Calorie containing nutrients--fats, carbohydrates, and protein, are stored as fat if not used as energy by the body.
What would the organism use for energy after carbohydrates?
After carbohydrates, the organism would use fats as an energy source. Fats are broken down into fatty acids, which can be used for energy production through a process called beta-oxidation. If fats are not available, the organism may also utilize proteins for energy through a process called gluconeogenesis.
Which procedure would have the least effect on the rate of protein digestion?
Consuming protein with carbohydrates or fats slows down the rate of protein digestion because they require different enzymes to break down in the stomach. Eating protein-rich foods alone, without carbohydrates or fats, would have the least effect on the rate of protein digestion.
The nutrient that provides the greatest amount of energy per gram is?
In food, there are three macronutrients that provide energy. They are fat, carbohydrates, and protein. Fat is the nutrient that provides the greatest amount of energy at nine calories per gram. Protein and carbohydrates provide only four calories per gram.
Is gluten higher in level in protein flour?
Yes, gluten concentration would be higher in high protein flower because the gluten is the main protein in flour.
What would the consequences of a mutation that prevented a person's body from making a membrane protein necessary for active transport of sugar from the digestive system?
A disease known as hypoglycemy would affect the human who gets the mutation. The body would not be able to obtain energy from carbohydrates and would, therefore, be greatly deprived of energy.
