CHEMICALS OF LIFE (NUTRIENTS)
2
. NUTRIENTS: needed by all organisms for 1. __________ and 2. ______________ energy building blocks ORGANIC VS. INORGANIC a) Fill in the type of nutrient for each category. MACRONUTRIENT (need to consume ______) ORGANIC (made by living things) 1. 2. 3. INORGANIC 1. MICRONUTRIENT (need to consume ______) ORGANIC 1. INORGANIC 1. carbohydrates proteins lipids (fats) water vitamins minerals lots little
3
. CHEMICALS OF LIFE (NUTRIENTS) = 6 carbon ring = 6 glycerol = fatty acid (FA) = amino acids (aa) 20 different kinds b) Use the simplified images of the monomers shown below to draw a sketch of each of the following tables. MONOMERS:
4
Simple carbohydrates “SUGAR” Monosaccharide glucose, fructose (fruits), galactose Disaccharides Disaccharides: maltose (beer), sucrose (table sugar), lactose (milk) ****Simple Carbohydrates****
5
. CHEMICALS OF LIFE (NUTRIENTS) I. CARBOHYDRATES : Contain elements _____, _____, _____ Monomer = _______________ Diagram: General function: ______________ CHO glucose ring energy
6
. CHEMICALS OF LIFE (NUTRIENTS) I. CARBOHYDRATES : TYPES OF CARBOHYDRATES No. of Units Diagram EXAMPLES FOOD SOURCE SPECIFIC FUNCTIONNUTRIENT TEST 1. mono- saccharide 1 1. glucose honeydirect fuel for mitochondria Benedict’s blue orange (when heated) 2. fructose fruit 2. di- saccharide 2 1. sucrose table sugar enzymes break disaccharides into monosaccharide s for energy none 2. lactose dairy products

. CHEMICALS OF LIFE (NUTRIENTS) I. CARBOHYDRATES : TYPES OF CARBOHYDRATES No. of Units Diagram EXAMPLES FOOD SOURCE SPECIFIC FUNCTIONNUTRIENT TEST 3. poly- saccharide 1. starch grains potatoes rice 1.Digested into 1000’s of monosaccharides for energy 2.how plants store energy iodine yellow dark blue (looks black) 2. glycogen muscle liver how animals store energy 3. cellulose cell walls (celery) -tough, insoluble -no enzyme to break it down -provides roughage to help keep you regular....1000’s
9
. CHEMICALS OF LIFE (NUTRIENTS) I. CARBOHYDRATES : Plants and animals cannot directly store glucose in their cells because __________________________________________. Plants change glucose into ___________________ while animals store it as_____________________. All carbohydrates are digested into _____________________ before entering the blood stream. it is soluble & would diffuse (flow) away (out of cell) starch glycogen monosaccharides (like glucose)
10
. CHEMICALS OF LIFE (NUTRIENTS) II. Proteins : Contain elements ____, ____, ____, ____ ( ____) Monomer = _______________ Diagram: CHO amino acids (a.a.) N S
11
. CHEMICALS OF LIFE (NUTRIENTS) II. Proteins : TYPES OF PROTEINS SPECIFIC FUNCTIONEXAMPLESNUTRIENT TEST 1. structural proteins insoluble proteins which make up all body parts muscles, bone, hair, skin Biuret turqoise violet 2. enzymessoluble proteins which speed up chemical reactions in your body found in saliva, gastric juice 3. hormonessoluble proteins made in glands & carried by the blood to target cells regulate metabolism testosterone estrogen insulin adrenalin
12
. CHEMICALS OF LIFE (NUTRIENTS) II. PROTEINS : All proteins are digested into ________________ before entering the blood stream. Your body takes these building blocks and makes its own characteristic proteins. 20 different aa’s essential a.a.’s = _______ ______ = non-essential a.a.’s complete proteins incomplete proteins amino acids Your body can’t make these so you must consume them in your food Your body can make these contain all 8 essential a.a.’s don’t contain all 8 essential a.a.’s ex. animal proteins like meat, fish, eggs ex. plant proteins like nuts, seeds, beans 8 12

. CHEMICALS OF LIFE (NUTRIENTS) III. LIPIDS (FATS) : Contain elements _____, _____, _____ Monomers = _______________ & ___________________ General functions: 1. energy: twice as much energy as carbohydrates 2. insulation: helps keep heat in & cold out 3. cushions: layer of fat around vital organs 4. storage: long term energy storage 5. cell membrane: major component 6. dissolves fat-soluble vitamins Diagram: CHO glycerol 3 fatty acids
14
. CHEMICALS OF LIFE (NUTRIENTS) III. LIPIDS (FATS) : TYPES OF LIPIDS CHARACTERISTICS EXAMPLESDANGERS NUTRIENT TEST 1. SATURATED solid at room temperature animal fat i.e. bacon, butter cholesterol arteriosclerosis (arteries harden) atherosclerosis (arteries get clogged Trans- luscent stain test 2. UNSATURATED liquid at room temperature plant fat i.e. olive oil obesity heart attack All fats are digested into _______________________ before they can enter the body. glycerol & 3 fatty acids
