Across
- 3. histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine
- 5. an energy deficit due to deficiency of all macronutrients, but primarily protein.
- 7. Nonessential means that our bodies can produce the amino acid, even if we do not get it from the food we eat. Nonessential amino acids include: alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine, and tyrosine.
- 10. a nutrient your body needs to grow and repair cells, and to work properly.
- 11. occurs when nitrogen intake equals nitrogen output
- 12. a disease marked by severe protein malnutrition and bilateral extremity swelling.
- 14. a solution that resists changes in pH when acid or alkali is added to it. Buffers typically involve a weak acid or alkali together with one of its salts.
- 15. a disease caused by the lack of some essential or important element in the diet, usually a particular vitamin or mineral.
- 16. a common childhood disorder and is primarily caused by deficiency of energy, protein, and micronutrients
- 17. process modifying the molecular structure of a protein
- 18. A complete protein or whole protein is a food source of protein that contains an adequate proportion of each of the nine essential amino acids necessary in the human diet.
Down
- 1. two incomplete sets of proteins that are consumed at the same time in order to fulfil the amino acid deficiency in the other meal.
- 2. If the protein you eat doesn't have all the nine types of amino acids you need to get from food
- 4. a protein component of the immune system that circulates in the blood
- 6. molecules used by all living things to make proteins
- 8. The pH scale, ranges from 0 (strongly acidic) to 14 (strongly basic or alkaline).
- 9. a deficiency of all macronutrients: carbohydrates, fats, and protein
- 13. a leguminous plant (member of the pea family), especially one grown as a crop.
