Cells require a constant source of energy for life processes, but keep only a small amount of ATP on hand. Cells can regenerate ATP as needed by using the energy stored in foods…BUT, YOUR CELLS CAN’T JUST EAT A HOT DOG, SO HOW DO THEY GET THE ENERGY?

THE SIMPLE STORY OF HOW FOOD BECOMES ENERGY

REVIEW/QUICK CHECK WHAT ARE THE 7 MAIN COMPONENTS NEEDED ON A DAILY BASIS FOR A HEALTHY BALANCED DIET? WHAT PROCESS IN YOUR BODY BREAKS DOWN THE FOOD AND REBUILDS IT INTO SOMETHING YOUR CELLS CAN USE? WHAT PROCESS IN YOUR BODY ALLOWS NUTRIENTS TO PASS THROUGH THE INTESTINAL WALL TO BE DISTRIBUTED BY THE BLOOD STREAM TO THE CELLS? WHAT ARE NUTRIENTS ANYWAY? WHICH ORGANELLES WILL BE INVOLVED IN THE NEXT PART OF THE PROCESS? WHAT WILL THEY DO?

REVIEW/QUICK CHECK WHICH ORGANELLE WOULD ALLOW THESE NUTRIENT MOLECULES TO ENTER THE CELL? WHICH ORGANELLE MIGHT HELP TRANSPORT NUTRIENTS THROUGHOUT THE CELL? WHICH ORGANELLE WOULD HAVE TO BREAK THE MOLECULES DOWN FURTHER SO THAT THEY ARE MORE USEFUL? WHICH ORGANELLE WOULD STORE THIS NUTRIENT IF IT WAS NOT NEEDED IMMEDIATELY? WHICH ORGANELLE WOULD USE IT TO MAKE ADDITIONAL ATP (ENERGY) WHEN THE TIME COMES? WHICH ORGANELLE CONTROLS THIS WHOLE PROCESS?

NUTRIENTS – substances in food that provide cells materials to make energy to carry out essential life processes. Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids (Fats) WATER, VITAMINS, MINERALS & FIBER ARE NOT SOURCES OF ENERGY, BUT ARE ALSO NECESSARY FOR AN ORGANISM TO FUNCTION PROPERLY!

ENERGY FROM NUTRIENTS WE MEASURE ENERGY IN KILOCALORIES (KCAL), BUT ON FOOD PACKAGES THEY ARE SIMPLY REFERRED TO AS “CALORIES”
