NUTRITION 1,2,3 and 4

Nutrients are subtances the body need to sustain the life of cells

Build cellular structures,repair,grow and multiply

Organic/Inorganic Nutriens

Organic nutrients are nutrients produced by living organisms and supply energy Ex: Carbohydrates, Fats, Proteins and Vitamins

Inorganic nutrients are found in living organisms and dont supply energy Ex: Minerals, Water and O2

Carbohydrates, Fats, Proteins and Vitamins

Minerals, Water and O2

Carbohydrates are water soluble molecules made of Carbon, 02 and H, they are the main energy source of cells and build structures

Fats are water insoluble molecules made of Carbon, O2 and H, they are the main energy reserve and create cellular membranes

Proteins are molecules made of Carbon, 02, H and N, they synthesize structures and are the ultimate energy source They are made of 20 amino acids, which 10 are ESSENTIALL AMINO ACIDS

• Simple Carbs are easily taken in (ORANGE JUICE) • Complex Carbs arent directly taken in and are made of long chains of glucose (PASTA)

1.Unsaturated Fats are liquid at room temp and are healthy(OLIVE OIL) 2.Saturated Fats are solid at room temp and are unhealthy(BUTTER) 3.Trans Fats are unsaturated fats turned industrially into saturated fats(PASTRIES)

1.Complete Proteins are found in foods of animal origin and contain the 10 ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS 2.Incomplete Proteins are found in foods of plant origin and dont have all the 10 ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS

Vitamins are need in small quantities and are essential for regulating cellular processes

1.Fat soluble vitamins are stored in the tissues(VITAMIN A) 2.Water soluble vitamins cant be stored and need to be taken daily (VITAMIN C)

Minerals regulate internal processes and are used as building materials

Iron, found in meat and enables red blood cells to carry 02
