  2. Chapter 15 Nutrition and Digestion

  3. Digestion • Digestion = breaking down food to size that can be absorbed • Can occur mechanically (chewing) or chemically (enzymes) • Look at Table 15.1 p169 for a list of enzymes • Let’s read the section ‘Digestion and Absorption’

  4. Carbohydrates/Proteins • Look at ‘the need to… eat carbohydrates’ • Define: salivary/pancreatic amylase • Using the text, reproduce a diagram to explain early carbohydrate digestion • Look at ‘the need to … eat protein’ • Again, reproduce a diagram to explain early protein digestion

  5. Lipids/Water • Look at ‘the need to… eat lipids’ • Define emulsification, bile salts, chylomicrons and micelles • Again, reproduce a diagram to explain this • Don’t forget water! It is an essential nutrient

  6. Water-Soluble Vitamins • ‘B’ vitamins are needed for metabolism, they are often ‘coenzymes’ required for enzyme catalysed reactions • For each of the following vitamins, list: • What processes they are involved in • What foods they are found in • What a deficiency would cause • Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Cobalamin, Folic Acid, Ascorbic Acid

  7. Fat-Soluble Vitamins • Again list the processes, foods and deficiencies for each of the following: • Vitamin A, D, E and K

  8. Minerals • An advanced symposium! • This time you are going to study: • Calcium • Iron • Iodine • Not only are you going to talk about the basics, but also you will need to explain the pathway outlined in your text

  9. Clinical Example • Watch out online for a discussion about the Clinical Example on page 183!
