Primary Energy Source
Carbs are the first thing that our bodies burn when we are moving around or working out.
This is why people load up on carbs before cross country meets or sports games. They do this so their bodies have something to use for energy instead of their fats or protiens.
The body breaks down carbs into Gluclose
Gluclose is used to fuel our bodies
Glueclose fuels our cells, tissues, and organs
Carbs spare Protiens
Since Carbs save Protiens, we can maintain our muschle mass instead of always burning it
CHO
Carbs are made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. Much like lipids
monosaccharides are the building block of carbs
Mono means one and saccharides means sugar
Building Blocks of our bodies
They transfer genetic info in our cells
Our bodies break down protines into amino acids
After our bodies get the amino acids, it uses them to repair and grow muschle fibers.
They also build up our enzymes that speed up our metabolism
Our metabolism helps our bodies break down food, so the fatser our food is broken down the mre protien our amino acids give to us .
CHONP
The subunits of these acids are protienns.
Protiens are also macromolecules that have a different purpose in our cells
There are nine common amino acids
They nine acids are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
Long Term Energy Source
If we ever stop eating for a long period of time, our bodys will start to eat the lipids right off of ourselves
Insulator
Contains our body heat like a thick jacket
They more layers of lipids you have on your body, the warmer your body will stay.
Stores our energy
When we eat foods that are not the best for us, it goes into the fats on our bodies
CHO
Lipids are made of Carbon,Hydrogen, and Oxygen
CHON
Protiens are made up of carbon,hydrogen,oxygen, and Nitrogen elements.
Protiens help repair and build of tissue
When people work out or go to the gym evryday their muschles start to grow. This is because theor tissue muschles are tearing.
When the muschle tears protiens are pumped into them, then they grow back stronger and bigger
Because protiens build our muschles gym sharls get as much as they can
SInce protiens build our muschles, they provide our body with a sort of frame guide,
They muschles grow onto the bones we work out.
The building blocks of protiens are actually amino acids
Amino acids distribute the protiens and transfer them around the cells
AMino acids are also macromolecules that work in all of our cells
