• Get one of each of the small papers.• Don’t glue anything in yet!
• WHAT TWO THINGS DO WE GET FROM OUR FOOD?
BUILDING BLOCKS FOR GROWTH & CHEMICAL ENERGY
• TO BE CONSIDERED AS FOOD-WHAT MUST A SUBSTANCE BE MADE
OF/CONTAIN?
CARBS, FATS, PROTEINS—THINGS WITH CHEMICAL ENERGY—C-C OR C-H BONDS
Water Not considered food, but it is essential
to all organisms.Solvent- things can be dissolved in
it.Medium for transporting nutrients
and wasteMedium for temperature regulation and chemical processes.
Vitamins and minerals are Not considered food but are also important to organisms.
Optimize cellular processes (chemical reactions) helps the organism’s cells run efficiently.
Organic matter: decaying remains of plants and animals.
This is found in the top part of the soil and plants don’t have a way to absorb carbs, fats, or proteins from the soil
Mineral matter: elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, manganese, copper, zinc, boron, chlorine.
Glue in Table 3-1 Examine the package labels
from the items listed below and use the information to fill out the Table 3-1 below.
Record your answers as YES or NO
1. Energy content: represented by calories
2. Building blocks: represented by fats, proteins, carbohydrates
3. Minerals: calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, molybdenum, copper, and manganese (all important for cell processes).
