‭Unit 4: Balanced Diet‬

‭Q1) Write the correct word for each of the following descriptions:‬

‭1 The part of the digestive system where digestion starts:‬‭Mouth‬

‭2 The part of the digestive system that mixes food with digestive juices:‬‭stomach‬

‭3 The part of the digestive system that pushes food down into the stomach:‬‭oesophagus‬

‭4 The part of the digestive system that absorbs water and some minerals back into the blood:‬

‭Small intestine‬

‭5 Undigested food material leaves the body here:‬‭anus‬

‭6 The part of the digestive system that breaks food down into very tiny particles to complete‬

‭digestion:‬‭large intestine‬

‭7 The liquid found in the mouth that softens food and contains a digestive juice:‬

‭Saliva‬

‭8 Eating the correct types and amounts of different foods:‬‭balanced diet‬

‭9 The food group we should eat to give us energy:‬‭carbohydrates‬

‭10 The food group that builds our bodies and makes us grow:‬‭proteins‬

‭Q2) Write True or False. Write correct statement for false one.‬

‭1.‬ ‭Very few vertebrates have a similar digestive system to ours.‬‭False‬

‭Many vertebrates have a similar digestive system to ours‬

‭2.‬ ‭A balanced diet does not include water and fibre.‬‭False‬

‭3.‬ ‭In rabbits’ digestion takes longer as compared to cats.‬‭True‬

‭___________________________________________________________________________________‬

‭4.‬ ‭Vitamins and minerals help your body to function properly and stay healthy.‬‭True‬

‭___________________________________________________________________________________‬

‭5.Starch and sugar are carbohydrates.‬‭True‬

‭___________________________________________________________________________________‬

‭Q3) Answer the following questions:‬

‭1.‬ ‭List all the parts of the digestive system.‬

‭Mouth‬

‭Oesophagus‬

‭Stomach‬

‭Small intestine‬

‭Large intestine‬

‭Anus‬

‭2.‬ ‭Which component of the digestive system is responsible for eliminating materials that remain undigested?‬

‭Anus is responsible for eliminating materials that remain undigested.‬

‭3.‬ ‭How are nutrients from digested food transported to various parts of the body?‬

‭Nutrients from digested food particles pass from the small intestine into the blood and are carried to various‬

‭parts of the body.‬

‭4.‬ ‭What test can be used to detect the presence of starch in food?‬

‭We can detect the presence of starch by testing it with iodine solution. If it turns from yellow-brown to blue-‬

‭black it has starch inside it.‬

‭5.‬ ‭Create a healthy breakfast that gives you energy and keeps you active during the school hours.‬
 ‭(any correct answer is acceptable)‬

‭Egg, paratha, apple‬

‭Chicken, croissant, orange and cucumber‬

‭6.‬ ‭Name two minerals and write their importance in our body.‬

‭Calcium: Calcium helps to make our teeth and bones strong.‬

‭Iron: We need iron to make our blood healthy.‬

‭Q4) Draw a graph to show the quantity of the different food groups in 100 g of tinned peas.‬

‭Protein‬ ‭9‬

‭Fat‬ ‭3‬

‭Carbohydrate‬ ‭12‬

‭Fiber‬ ‭5‬

‭salt‬ ‭1‬

‭1)‬ ‭Which food group do the peas contain most of?‬

‭Carbohydrate‬

‭2)‬ ‭Why do we need the food group you named in question 1?‬

‭We need carbohydrates to give our bodies energy.‬

‭3)‬ ‭Which food group do the peas contain least of?‬

‭4)‬ ‭How much protein do the peas contain?‬

‭9 g‬

‭5)‬ ‭Why do we need protein?‬

‭Proteins build our bodies and make us grow.‬

‭6)‬ ‭What is in the peas that we need for a healthy digestive system?‬

‭Fibre‬

‭7)‬ ‭How much salt is in the tinned peas?‬

‭1 g‬

‭8)‬ ‭Which mineral is found in the salt?‬

‭Sodium‬

‭Q5) Write the following processes that happen in the digestive system in the correct order:‬

‭Correct Order‬

‭a Food chewed into small pieces.‬

‭b Food swallowed and pushed down the oesophagus.‬

‭c Food mixed with digestive juices.‬

‭d Food broken into very small particles.‬

‭e Food particles absorbed into the blood.‬

‭f Undigested food removed.‬

‭Q6) Guess the riddles.‬

‭a)‬ ‭I'm a group of foods that provide energy and warmth, like bread, pasta, and cereal, all in a swarm. What am I?‬

‭Carbohydrates‬

‭b)‬ ‭I'm the secret to good health, a combination of foods in perfect stealth. What am I?‬
 ‭Balanced diet‬

‭c)‬ ‭I regulate your temperature, keeping you cool or warm. What am I?‬

‭Water‬

‭d)‬ ‭I'm where digestion begins, grinding food with my might, chewing and mashing with all my bite. What am‬

‭Mouth/teeth‬

‭Q7) Give scientific reasons:‬

‭1.‬ ‭Eating fibre is important because it helps food to pass easily through the digestive system‬

‭2.‬ ‭We should not eat too much salt and sugar because eating too much of these is unhealthy for us.‬

‭3.‬ ‭Our bodies need food because it helps the body to grow/ it gives energy.‬

‭4.‬ ‭The muscles of the oesophagus contract because it need to squeeze and push the food downwards.‬
