Nutrient Sources and SignificanceÃÂDescribe the physiological functions and sources of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
ÃÂEvaluate the micro and macro nutritive contributions of selected foods.
ÃÂCompare and contrast your personal nutrient intake with established standards.
Key concepts for Week Two which instructors will address and for which students will be held responsible:1.Sources and Functions a.Proteins1)What are proteins?2)Functions of protein in the body3)How much protein do you need?b.Essential and non-essential amino acids1)Essential amino acids ÃÂ body cannot manufacture nine amino acids; essential that we obtain them from our dietsa)Histidine, Isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan. and valine2)Non-essential amino acids ÃÂ those that can be produced by the body if the right ingredients are present; is not essential that we get them from fooda)Alanine, arginine, asparagines, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, praline, serine, and tyrosinec.
