Second Period
2nd Indicator

Objective:
To recognize the different nutrition types to value importance of
nourishment in living things.

He is the bread of life!

Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live
by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the
mouth of God.

Biblical principle

Nutrition
Nutrition can be defined as the process by which an
organism obtains food which is used to provide energy
and materials for its life sustaining activities

Food
Food is an organic
compound which
organisms can use
as a source of
energy for
metabolic
processes.

 Digestion is the breaking down of food into forms that

our bodies can use. Our bodies use food as fuel to provide
energy for work, play and growth. Your digestive
system is responsible for converting the food we eat into
energy for our bodies to use

Digestion

Esophagus
Stomach
Small Intestine
Large Intestine
Gall bladder
Liver
Pancreas

The Digestive System

 the tube
that
connects
your
mouth and
your
stomach

Esophagus

Esophagus

Stomach
A stretchy bag that holds
your food after you eat
Helps to break food into
smaller pieces so your
body can use it for energy
and nutrition

Small Intestine
Tube that is 20 feet
long.
Continues to digest
food
Food stays in your
small intestine for 4 to
8 hours

Small
Intestine

Large Intestine
Tube that is 5 feet
long
Gets waste from
small intestine
Waste stays for 10 to
12 hours

Large Intestine

 Storage tank for bile (a

greenish-yellow liquid)
that helps your body
break down and use fats
Located under your
liver
Shaped like a pear

Gall Bladder

Liver
Factory for antibodies
and bile
Stores vitamins and
sugars until your body
needs them

Liver

 Helps you
digest food by
breaking down
sugars

Pancreas

Plant nutrition
Plant nutrition
specifically does not
refer to photosynthesis.
Plants uptake nutrients
from the soil directly by
roots

Talk about this:

Plants require 13 mineral nutrient elements for
growth. The elements that are required or necessary
for plants to complete their life cycle are called
essential plant nutrients, each has a critical function
in plants and are required in varying amounts in plant
tissue.

Function

Water and mineral

transport from roots
to aerial parts of the
plant.

Transportation of food
and nutrients such as
sugar and amino acids
from leaves to storage
organs and growing
parts of plant. This
movement of
substances is called
translocation.

Movement

Unidirectional (Moves
up the plant's stem)

Bidirectional (Moves
up or down the plant's
stem from "source to
sink")

Class Activity
Reflect on Matthew 4:4.
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live
by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the
mouth of God.
How can you nourish your spirit and make it strong?
Do you think you need only food to live? Why ? Why not?
What is the word that proceeds out of the mouth of God?
Where can we find it?
