Explain how to avoid overweight and obesity based on the characteristics of a balanced diet and the needs of a person your age
In order to have a balanced diet, there are a few things that need to be taken into consideration. The first could be balancing food from the different food groups (Protein, Dairy, Cereal, Fats, Fruits and Vegetables.) according to the age recommendations. A balanced diet for an average 14 year old includes (around) 1600 calories per day
Discuss the benefits of postponing the beginning of an active sexual life
The decision of having an active sexual life falls upon an individual based on their own criteria and can not forced by anyone else. However, postponing an active sexual life until there is both an emotional and mental maturity can be effective since there is more knowledge on contraceptive methods as well as how to prevent STDs and unwanted pregnancies.
Describe how to lead a fear and guilt free, safe and healthy sexual life as a part of your life project.
Leading an active sexual life is something that a person should decide by themselves and not influenced by anyone else. No one should be judged based on their sexual life and should only do things that they are comfortable doing. Before starting any sexual activity make sure to have clear consent.
Research and outline the implications of addictions on personal, family and social health.
Family: emotional burden, anger, frustration, anxiety, fear, worry.
Social health: Medical or psychiatric conditions and death as a result of accidents. Housing instability, homelessness and more.
Personal: Depression, dependence of drugs, a culmination of the previously mentioned.
Define in your own simple words and give an example of a “system”
A system is several things working together to create something new. An example of this is the ecosystem.
Distinguish between the food chain, Web and Pyramid
A food web is a combination of all the food chains in an ecosystem, a food chain is how energy flows in an ecosystem, the arrows indicating where the energy goes, and the food pyramid is a representation of energy flows including how much is stored.
Draw and label the basic parts (energy input, Process and energy output) of a Thermodynamic system
Energy input: The sun
Process: Food pyramid
Energy output: Heat
List and illustrate each of the ways of representing energy flow in the living systems (ecosystem) of planet earth.
Food pyramid, Food web and Food chain.
Explain the energy flow of energy represented in a Food Pyramid using correctly all the following concepts: Light, primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, apex predators, Decomposers, Heat.
The energy passes from primary producers to primary consumers. The energy from primary consumers is passed to secondary consumers and then tertiary consumers.
Predict with reason what would happen to an ecosystem if all it’s apex predators would go extinct.
Without apex predators, there would be an overpopulation in prey and the natural order of things would be disturbed. This could lead to the ecosystem eventually falling apart.
