Vitamins - CORRECT ANSWER potent, essential, non-kcaloric, organic nutrients
needed from foods in trace amounts to perform specific functions that promote
growth, reproduction, and the maintenance of health and life
Function of vitamins - CORRECT ANSWER Vitamins do not yield energy when
metabolized; many of them do, however, assist the enzymes that participate in
the release of energy from carbohydrate, fat, and proteins.

Factors that determine the bioavailability of vitamins - CORRECT ANSWER
chemical makeup of proteins - CORRECT ANSWER CHON: acids are contained in
the nitrogen atoms and form the links in the chains we call proteins.
Explain the Amino Acid Structure and Examples of Amino Acids:
All amino acids have a "backbone" made of an amino acid group (which contain
nitrogen) and an acid group. The side group varies from one amino acid to the
next. Note that the side group is a unique structure that differentiates one amino
acid from another.
Each amino acid contains a central carbon atom with an amino group, an acid
group, a hydrogen atom, and a unique side group attached to it. - CORRECT
ANSWER About 20 different amino acids may appear in proteins. All amino acids
share a common chemical "backbone," which contain nitrogen and it is these
backbones that are linked together to form proteins. Each amino acid also carries
a side group, which varies from one amino acid to another (see Figure 5-1). The
side group makes the amino acids differ in size, shape, and electrical charge. The
side groups on amino acids are what make proteins so varied in comparison with
either carbohydrates or lipids.
Protein Chains - CORRECT ANSWER Protein Chains
The 20 amino acids can be linked end to end in a virtually infinite variety of
sequences to form proteins. When two amino acids bond together, the resulting
structure is known as a dipeptide. Three amino acids bonded together form a
tripeptide. As additional amino acids join the chain, the structure becomes a
polypeptide. Most proteins are a few dozen to several hundred amino acids long.
Protein Shapes - CORRECT ANSWER Polypeptide chains twist into complex shapes.
Each amino acid has special characteristics that attract it to, or repel it from, the
surrounding fluids and other amino acids. Because of these interactions,
polypeptide chains fold and intertwine into intricate coils (see Figure 5-2) and
