    The document provides an overview of nutrients, including macronutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. It discusses the major sources of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, and classifies carbohydrates as monosaccharides, disaccharides, or polysaccharides. The document also explains the importance of a balanced diet that includes all necessary nutrients, as well as the roles of fiber and water in the body.

    GLORIOUS FOOD!

    : AND WHAT THE BODY DOES


    WITH IT.
    Idea: Have you ever thought about this?

    W hat does
    this mean?
    Review
    • So there you have it. Enzymes speed up chemical
    reactions in the body.
    • They are precisely folded proteins that contain an
    active site.
    • Substrate molecules bind to the active site and react.
    • They work best under certain conditions
    (temperature; pH).
    Digestion of sucrose (into glucose and fructose) by the
    enzyme sucrase.
    Objectives

    • Explain what is meant by a balanced diet


    • Describe the major nutrients and their sources.
    • Classify the vitamins as water-soluble or fat soluble.
    DIET: The
    amount and
    quality of the
    different types of
    food that you eat.
    Nutrients – substances found in
    food
    Macronutrients Micronutrients

    • Eaten in relatively large • Eaten in small


    amounts quantities
    Balanced diet

    • All the necessary nutrients in the correct


    amounts/proportions.
    • Must include: carbohydrates, proteins, fats,
    micronutrients, water, fibre.

    (nutrients)
    Proteins

    • Made of long chains of amino acids


    • Made of the elements Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen and
    sometimes Sulphur.
    • Can either be fibrous (eg. Hair and fingernails) or
    globular (eg. Enzymes, haemoglobin)
    • Used for growth and repair
    Sources of protein
    Lipids
    • These range from triglycerides (fats and oils) to
    waxes (eg. sebum) and steroids (eg. oestrogen and
    cholesterol).
    • Triglycerides are most common and are made up of
    carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (commonly referred to
    as “body fat”).
    • Triglycerides are useful for:
    • They can also be found in cell membranes.
    Sources of fat
    Carbohydrates
    • These are the sugars and starches
    • They are made from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
    • Classified as monosaccharides, disaccharides and
    polysaccharides
    Monosaccharides
    • Mono = 1

    • These are single sugars (eg. glucose, fructose and galactose)

    • 2 Monosaccharides can join to form a disaccharide

    • Sweet

    • Soluble in water

    • Used for energy - to make ATP


    Disaccharides
    • Di = 2

    • Complex sugars (eg. sucrose, maltose and lactose)

    • Source of energy

    • Soluble in water

    • Sweet
    Polysaccharides
    Poly = many

    Complex long-chain carbohydrates made up of monosaccharides

    Insoluble in water

    Storage form of sugar in plants


    Fibre
    Fibre is made of cellulose from plant cell walls

    Only plants contain fibre

    Fibre provides bulk to stimulate peristalsis


    Fibre (What they don’t tell you.)

    (importance)
    Water

    • Makes up blood plasma, tissue fluid and lymph

    • Cools the body (via the skin)

    • Solvent for the transport of substances around the body (nutrients,


    CO2, waste)

    • Reactant in body’s chemical reactions
