Nutrition Notes Foods that are high in calories in unhealthy. - False You should avoid foods with sugars in them. - False You should avoids fats in your diet. - False Vegetarian diets are low in protein. - False Main You rely on energy from food in everything you do. When your body uses the nutrients in foods, a series of chemical reactions occur inside your cells. As a result, energy is released. Metabolism is the chemical process by which your body breaks down food to release energy. A calorie in a unit of measure for the amount of energy released when nutrients are broken down. Nutrients are substances that the body needs to regulate bodily functions, promote growth, repair body tissues, and obtain energy. There are six main nutrients. Carbohydrates Fats Proteins

B io F actsheet April 1999 Number 42 1 The Structure and Function of Lipids All lipids are polymers ? long chains of repeating units joined together in a condensation reaction during which water is released. The commonest lipids are triglycerides ? three fatty acids and glycerol linked by an ester bond (Fig 1). This Factsheet summarises the structure and function of lipids. Lipids are organic compounds found in every type of plant and animal cell. They always contain the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, but the reletive amount of oxygen is less than in carbohydrates. cells in plant roots forces water into the symplast pathway which is under the control of the nucleus. This strip therefore gives the plant control over substances entering the xylem. 7. Buoyancy

Carbohydrates: Revision Summary B io F actsheet January 1999 Number 39 1 Carbohydrates contain 3 elements: Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O). Thus, if we remove water from carbohydrates, all that remains is carbon. Carbohydrates can be divided into 3 categories; monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides (Table 1). Monosaccharides and Disaccharides Monosaccharides and disaccharides are sugars. They all have the basic formula (CH2O)n and can be classified according to how many carbon atoms they contain. 3C = triose sugars e.g. glyceraldehyde C3H5O2 5C = pentose sugars e.g. ribose C5H10O5 6C = hexose sugars e.g. glucose C6H12O6 Formation of disaccharides - typical exam questions Common exam questions include:

CarbohydratesThese nutrients are the main source of energy for your body and without these nutrients, your body could not function properly. Proteins Proteins are responsible for the construction and repairing of bones. Protein also provides Amino acids. Water Water helps maintain Homeostasis and to filter the body. IT also carries other nutrients cells. Your body is 60% Water. Fats Fats provide essential energy for the body and help vitamins absorb into your body. Vitamins Vitamins help boost the immune system and help support normal growth and development. minerals Minerals help make cells function properly. Minerals such as Calcium make maintain and develop strong bones and teeth. By Ronin Burke 1 CarbohydratesFruitsVegetablesMilkNutsGrains Proteins Eggs Fish(or other seafood)
