This simple molecule is responsible for 70% of human body weight.

What is water?

# True or false 100% of our daily water need are met by drinking water.

**False: **Fruits, vegetables (whole or in the form of juice or soup), as well as milk help meet our daily water need.

# JEOPARDY! Substances that the human body requires in small amounts.

What are vitamins?

# JEOPARDY! Without vitamins, the body would be enable to perform the following fonctions (4):

What are 1. contributing to chemical reactions 2. helping in energy production 3. helping fight off infections by strengthening the body 4. repairing damaged tissue?

# JEOPARDY! Substances of mineral origin that make up about 4% of the weight of the human body.

What are minerals?

# JEOPARDY! Substance found in food that is used by the body to meet important needs.

What are nutrients?

# JEOPARDY! Nutrients are separated in these 6 categories

What are: 1. proteins 2. carbohydrates 3. fats 4. water 5. vitamins 6. minerals?

# JEOPARDY! These 3 nutrients are not source of energy.

What are 1. Water, 2. vitamins and 3. minerals ?

# Identify Minerals are required for the body to perform the following fonctions (4)

1. building tissue (e.g. bones and teeth) 2. maintaining fluid balance in the body 3. helping muscles contract 4. transporting oxygen in the blood

# Identify 4 fonctions of the digestive system

Ingestion and propulsion of food Digestion of food Absorption of nutrients Elimination of fecal matter

# Fill the blanks On a nutrition facts table, the \_\_\_ is a quick reference to tell you if a food product contains a little or a lot of a certain nutrient: \_\_\_ DV or less is a little \_\_\_ DV or more is a lot

%DV 5% 15%

# Identify Refers to the muscular contractions of esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines that move substances through the digestive tracts

peristalsis

# Identify also known as deglutition

Swallowing

# Identify transformation of food into nutrients that the body can use

Digestion of food

Mechanical transformation of food

Food is physically broken down into smaller substances to prepare for chemical transformations Chewing(teeth used to crush and grind food) Churning (muscle contractions with mix food withsecretions from digestive system…in stomach andsmall intestine)

The digestive tract breaks down the complex molecules of food into simple molecules. There is much help of secretion from digestive glands during this process

Chemical transformation

Organs and glands responsible for the chemical transformation of food

Salivary gland (saliva) Gastric glands (gastric juice) Intestinal glands (intestinal juice) Pancreas (Pancreatic juice) Liver (Bile)

Mostly occurs in small intestine which contain folds called VILLI.

Absorption of nutrients
