The Digestion of Quinoa Presented By: Kat Hendrick, Emma Miller, & Sanura Rhodes

Introducing Quinoa

How the Nutrients in Quinoa are Used in the Body

The Digestive System

Dehydration Synthesis

Hydrolysis

Energy in Chemical Reactions in Quinoa in the Body  In cellular respiration carbon starts out in glucose and is broken down in glycolysis and distributed into carbon dioxide in the krebs cycle

Biochemistry of Quinoa  **talk about (demonstrate) what elements are found in carbs, proteins, and fats**  **talk about how to test chemically for different food molecules**

Enzymes in Digestion  **talk about (describe) the role of enzymes in digestion**
