Document Summary
Nutrition the science of understanding how animals and people convert food to their chemical components (nutrients), and use (metabolize) them for maintenance, growth, and production. Energy and components sufficient to support baseline physiological functions of an animal at present size. Additional energy/components needed to increase animal"s size at some rate (lbs/day, for instance) Additional energy/components needed to support greater physiological functions of animal than are needed for maintenance or growth at present size. Fuel (energy)-monosaccharides such as glucose and fructose. Plant cell walls (beta-glucose, aka cellulose: fats & oils (lipids) Without cholesterol, there would be no steroid production (ex: cortisol, testosterone, estrogen) 2. 5x more energy per gram than carbohydrates. Fatty acids go into mitochondria degraded and converted in acetyl-coa goes on electron transport chain to make atp: proteins. Non-essential (can be synthesized from amino acids) Energy (less than carbs & fats: vitamins.
