  1. What do humans need from the environment? Unit IV: Nutrition The foods we eat and how we process it.

  2. A. Nutrition 1. The life activity involved in obtaining _____________. a. __________ = taking in of nutrients b. __________ = breaking down of nutrients c. __________ = elimination of unused foods

  3. 2. Nutrients - environmental _________ necessary for life - used for ________ - used to create _____ and body parts a. Macronutrients Macronutrients are nutrients that the body needs in _________ quantities 1. ________________ - Examples: ________________ candy, cookies, pasta, bread, potatoes, oats - Source of __________ for the body - Specific Carbs: Glucose, Sucrose, Maltose, Lactose, Glycogen, Cellulose

  4. 2. _______________ Examples: Meat, fish, eggs, beans Building blocks for components of the __________________ Muscle, hair, nails, skin, enzymes Proteins are made of ______________ Essential Amino Acids: Isoleucine, Leucine, lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan and Valine.

  5. 3. Lipids Examples: _______, Oils, and Waxes Used for: Insulation Protection Cell membranes, _____________

  6. Two Types of Fats: 1. Saturated Fats filled with hydrogen atoms, solid at room temperature generally they are ________________ 2. Unsaturated Monounsaturated Polyunstaturated _______________

  7. b. Micronutrients •Vitamins ◦A – _____________________________________ ◦B – ______________________________ ◦C – ________________________ ◦D – _______________ ◦E – ___________________________________ ◦K – ____________

  8. •Minerals ◦Calcium – ___________________ ◦Folic Acid – ________________ ◦Iron – _________________ ◦Magnesium – ________________ ◦Phosphorus – _____________ ◦Potassium – ____________________________ ◦Zinc – ________________

  9. 3. Heterotrophic Nutrition a. Organisms need to obtain preformed organic molecule ______________________ eat the products from another organism b. Types of Heterotrophs Herbivore – ___________ Carnivore – ___________ Omnivore – ____________________ Detritivore – ____________________

  10. B. Human Nutrition 1. Nutritional Requirements Depends upon: _____________ _____________ _____________ _____________ _____________ Eat a variety of foods Calories = amount of energy in food Pay attention to what you eat

  11. 2. Human Digestive System a. also known as: alimentary canal, Gastrointestinal tract (GI) b. ________________________ the inside of your digestive system is exposed to the outside environment c.________________ – happens outside of cells d. 3 Processes Ingestion Digestion Egestion

  12. d. Organs of the Human Digestive System 1. ____________ __________ ____________________ Make into smaller pieces – this increases the surface area of the food _______ – salivary glands, moistens food so it can slide down ___________________ Change the molecules that make up the food Done by enzymes  Amylase = enzyme Starch  Glucose

  16. 7. __________________ Long convoluted tube ________________________________ Enzymes from pancreas - Amylase, Protease, Lipase Mechanically digests Lipids - uses bile from liver to emulsify fats ____________ of nutrients villi and microvilli – small projections of the small intestine wall ______________________ – absorbs more materials
