Apologia Anatomy Lesson 5-1
Across
- 2. A protein (like those found in vegetables) that contains only some of the essential amino acids. TWO WORDS
- 5. One of the two type of essential fatty acids your body needs. Among other foods, it can be found in tuna, dark leafy green vegetables and flax seeds. TWO WORDS
- 7. Fats that are usually solid at room temperature, such as butter. TWO WORDS
- 8. Substances found in food and drink that your body needs to be healthy.
- 10. Another name for fats, based on the three fatty acid chains linked to a glycerol to make a fat.
- 11. Small carbohydrate molecules (sugars) that digest easily and provide "quick energy" for your body. TWO WORDS
- 13. The type of essential fatty acid of which your body needs the greatest amount. It is found in most cooking oils. TWO WORDS
- 16. Large carbohydrate molecules (unrefined starches) that take a long time to digest. They release energy into your bloodstream slowly. TWO WORDS
- 18. The very sweet sugar found in most fruits.
- 21. Fats are made up of three _______________ attached to a glycerol. TWO WORDS
- 22. A protein, such as those from meat or eggs, that contains all nine essential amino acids. TWO WORDS
- 23. What we call the glucose in your bloodstream. TWO WORDS
- 26. These are formed when two or more different kinds of atoms are linked together.
Down
- 1. A strand of amino acids; a substance made and used in every cell in your body.
- 3. The fatty acids your body can't make but must have in order to continue making the special fats it needs to survive. THREE WORDS
- 4. Unhealthy fats that have been industrially altered through hydrogenation. TWO WORDS
- 6. The nine amino acids that your body cannot make, but that are essential (required) for your cells to make the proteins they need. THREE WORDS
- 9. Fats that are usually liquid at room temperature, such as those that come from olives or nuts. TWO WORDS
- 12. Three fatty acid molecules are linked together with this molecule to form a fat.
- 14. The measure for how quickly food releases energy (in the form of glucose) into your bloodstream. TWO WORDS
- 15. A process whereby unsaturated fats are chemically converted into saturated fats.
- 17. The liver changes glucoese into this complex carbohydrate. It becomes stored energy for later use.
- 19. Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms linked together in specific forms that can be broken down to give your body the energy it needs.
- 20. The smallest units of an element that retain the properties of the element.
- 24. Units we use to measure energy.
- 25. Your body turns most carbohydrates into this one simple carbohydrate.
