Which is a difference between proteins and carbohydrates and fats?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

HERE JUST TAKE IT

Explanation:

Ok, there's carbon and hydrogen in all of them, that's the only similarity. They are known collectively as macro-nutrients.

Carbohydrates are basically, oxygen, carbon and hydrogen and they're the bodies primary source of energy. This means that they're the first source of energy used which is why if you eat foods high in simple sugars you get a sugar rush. All carbs metabolize down to glucose, some faster than others.

Fats are called lipids. Lipids are very heterogeneous (this means that there's not much similarity between them). Some examples of lipids are steroids, seed oils, pork fat, cholesterol, etc. The main thing in common with them is that they don't mix with water. They are readily stored in fat cells in the form of tryglicerides and are used when carbs are all used up. They also yield the highest per gram amount of energy (it escapes me right now).

In a chemical sense, fats are lipids derived from animals (saturated, solid at room temperature) and oils are derived from plants and seeds (insaturated with some exceptions, and liquid at room temperature. Insaturated are healthier because they contain HDL which cleans your arteries (prevents artherosclerosis).

Proteins are made up of aminoacids, 20 make up the vast amount of human proteins. Enzimes (the most famous being digestive enzimes) are proteins, skin is covered in protein, hair is protein, cilia and flagella are protein, basically EVERYTHING is protein, after water the human body is basically protein. They're only used up as energy when everything else is used up.

When athletes eat/drink protein, it's to give them building materials in order to increase the amount of stuff inside their cells which will enable them to produce more energy.

Which of the following statements about carotenoids is NOT true? Carotenoids include red, orange, and yellow pigments. Carotenoi
kvv77 [185]

       The right answer to this question is option D. Carotenoids are categorized into two major divisions: carotenes and beta carotenes

       First, let's check option A, it says that the carotenoids include red, orange and yellow pigments, that's true, we can check that on lab for example, a vegetable that can be mentioned here are carrots, it has lots of this and it's very healthy too, and remember, there isn't a single animal that can produce carotenoids, so they need to grab it from nature.

       The second option, B. says that sometimes carotenoids are sometimes called as acessory pigments, that's true too, some studies consider them acessory pigments, so, they're not alone there, there are different kinds of pigments that can be on that plant, and they're also very important for the animals. Option C refers to beta carotene as the most abundant carotene in plants, that's true too, we can also find other kinds of carotenoids on plants, but this one as it's seen in lab, is the most common one. The last one, D, isn't true, the two major divisions are: Xanthophylls and Carotenoids, beta carotenoids are a type of carotenoids, not a different group.
