Food & Digestion 4.1 Food and Its Molecules: 20 FEBRUARY 2014 Prepared By: Teacher Hidayah

This document discusses food and digestion. It covers the key elements that make up carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and include sugars like glucose, fructose, and sucrose. Proteins contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, and are made up of chains of amino acids. Fats contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and there are two types: saturated and unsaturated. The document also addresses why we need food for energy, growth, and health, and lists factors like age, health, gender, body size, and occupation that can affect nutritional needs.

For energy
You need food to work your muscles and other body organs. Food is the
bodys fuel that keeps it going, without it the body would not work.

For growth and repair
In order for your body to grow you need to make new cells. New cells are
also needed to replace old or damaged cells. Your body makes these new
cells from the chemicals in your food.

To stay healthy
There are lots of reactions taking place in the cells of your body to keep you
healthy and keep your body working. Certain chemicals are needed for
these reactions which can only be taken in from the food you eat.
