FUNCTIONS True or False? Bile breaks down large starch Bile is made molecules into in the liver small starch molecules Amylase breaks down Large protein starch into molecules are made maltose up of proteases
Fats are broken Lipases are enzymes
down into fatty that act specifically on acids and glycerol proteins The main functions of food Sources of energy Built the body Immunity Carbohydrate The types of carbohydrates (C, H, O )
fruit, and honey are sources of carbohydrate. The main function of carbohydrate is to get energy. Human body stores carbohydrate in liver and muscles. Deficiency in carbohydrate may cause malnutrition (kwarsiorkor). Protein Protein
Protein can be found in dairy products such
as meat, milk, eggs, cheese, as well as fish. It can also be found in plant seeds. The main function of protein is to be structural and functional components. Structural means that protein is needed to build human body and to repair or replace the damaged cells. Functional protein is the enzyme that catalyzes the biochemical processes in cells. Fat Fat
There are two sources of fat: animal and
plant. Animal fat can be found in animal meat, butter, milk, fish, egg, and fish oil, whereas plant fat can be found in coconuts, nuts, avocado, etc. Fat functions as energy resource and supply. Fat is stored under skin tissues. Vitamin
Vitamins can function as co-enzyme,
which is the substance that triggers the work of enzymes. There are two categories of vitamin: one that solute in fat and another that does not. Vitamins which can solute in fat are storable. When the amount of such vitamin in our body is more than needed, it will be stored in fat for a long time. However, an excessive amount of vitamins which do not solute in fat will be discarded out of the body. If our body lacks the necessary vitamins, it will suffer from vitamin deficiency. Here are the names of vitamin deficiencies: a. lacking vitamin A suffers from short eyesight b. lacking vitamin B1 suffers from beriberi c. lacking vitamin B12 suffers from anemia d. lacking vitamin C suffers from scorbut e. lacking vitamin D suffers from rachitis f. lacking vitamin K suffers from unclotted blood g. lacking vitamin E suffers from infertility. Minerals
Minerals are important for our body.
Each mineral has a certain role . Here are some diseases caused by mineral deficiencies: lacking Ca (calcium) causes blood coagulation problems, cramp, and bone problems. lacking Fe (iron) causes anemia. lacking I (iodine) causes goiter. Water
Our body consists mostly of water.
Water plays important roles in various processes in our body, either in digestion processes or chemical processes. Water is a good solvent. For instance, oxygen and food nutrients cannot enter the cells without water. Water also regulates body temperature.
