Name: ________________________ Hour: _____ Measuring the Caloric Content in Your Diet Food energy is measured in Calories, not grams or ounces. One Calorie increases the temperature of one liter of water by one degree C. One gram of food contains different amount of calories for the different nutrients. They are as follows: 1 gram of fat = 9 calories 1 gram of protein = 4 calories 1 gram of carbohydrates = 4 calories Let?s look at an example. You may think that if you eat 100 grams of food (a little less than 4 ounces), then 30% of that or 30 grams (just over 1 ounce) can be pure fat. WRONG! Remember, Calories, not grams or ounces measure food energy. There is more than one Calorie per gram.

Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 5 The Structure and Function of Large Biological Molecules In Chapter 5, the principles of chemistry covered in earlier chapters are applied to the understanding of biological polymers and lipid membranes. The emphasis is on properly linking monomers and their polymers, and on the structural and functional diversity of the different polymer types. Particular attention is given to protein structure, because this is central to understanding subsequent chapters on metabolism, molecular biology, and molecular medicine. Multiple-Choice Questions 1) Humans and mice differ because A) their cells have different small organic molecules. B) their cells make different types of large biological molecules.

Nutrition In order for the human body to be healthy and resistant to disease, good nutrition is required. All living things are made of chemicals. In order to grow, develop and maintain bodily structures and functions, specific chemicals must be acquired from the food we eat. In a sense, we are what we eat. Nutrients can be divided into the following categories: Nutrients Overview Carbohydrates ? sugar based molecules that are metabolized for energy in cellular respiration and make up the structural components of plant cell walls. Lipids ? fat based molecules that store large quantities of energy. These molecules also make up the structure of cell membranes.

Dietary Supplements People take?dietary supplements?to obtain essential nutrients that may be deficient or missing in their diets. Supplements may contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, fats and herbs. Yet, they may have risks. There are disastrous drug interactions A higher proportion of people reporting adverse reactions when taking dietary supplements, particularly multivitamin multimineral supplements, concurrently take prescription or over-the-counter medications that supplement users without?adverse events. Taking supplements that contain vitamin A while also taking Accutane, a prescription drug that contains isotretinoin and is indicated for treatment of cystic acne, can increase the toxic effects of the medication.

Spencer Ballantyne QUESTIONS When we say that something gives us ?energy,? what does that mean? What is a biological definition of energy? When people say that things, ?give you energy?, they can be referring to the affects other molecules like stimulants and amino acids can have on your body. Truly, they don?t provide any energy for your body, but they can raise you metabolic rate, thereby causing you to metabolize what is already stored in your body. Also, they may stimulate adrenaline production. Biologically, energy is the capacity to produce work or change. Energy is stored in your body in molecules, like carbohydrates and lipids. These carbohydrates can take the form of sugars, and the energy is transferred to your body when you eat them.

Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 41 Animal Nutrition Chapter 41 relates the energetic and nutritional needs of animals with the evolutionary adaptations that optimize nutrient ingestion, digestion, absorption, and distribution of nutrients. The locations and specializations of organs and tissues along the gastrointestinal tract are detailed, as are the regulatory mechanisms that coordinate functions. Multiple-Choice Questions 1) In a well-fed human eating a Western diet, the richest source of stored chemical energy in the body is A) fat in adipose tissue. B) glucose in the blood. C) protein in muscle cells. D) glycogen in muscle cells. E) calcium phosphate in bone. Answer: A Topic: Concept 41.1 Skill: Knowledge/Comprehension

Chapter Forty-One: Animal Nutrition Preface Nutrition: Food being taken in , taken apart, and taken up (Example: Bear chews skin muscles and other part of fish, breaking it down with acid and enzymes in digestive system and finally absorbing it into small molecules in its body) Animals eat other organisms (dead or alive) for energy and also the organic molecules used to assemble new molecules, cells and tissues. There are different types of animal diets; Herbivores: Animals that dine on mainly plants and algae (cattle, sea slugs, termites) Carnivores: Animals that dine on other animals (sharks, hawks,spiders) Omnivores: Animals which consume both plants and animals regularly (humans, crows, and cockroaches)

Properties and Changes Logan Bell Purpose: The Purpose of the Properties and Changes lab was to determine the unknown substances in the assigned mixture by comparing reactions and end results with certain variables. Procedure: Part one: 1. Obtain one of the following white powders: Starch, Baking Soda, Sugar and Salt (Sodium Iodide) 2. Make as many observations of each powder that you can before it is mixed with anything. Record your observations in your data table. 3. Put a small amount of your Sugar in two pea sized piles on a watch glass. 4. Add one drop of Vinegar to one of the piles of Starch. Record your observations. 5. Add one drop of Iodide solution to the other pile of Starch. Record your observations.
