What are Nutrients?
Nutrients
 Provide energy
 Need for growth, repair and maintenance of cells
 Need for metabolism
Nutrients
 Examples (Why do we need each one?):
 Proteins
 Carbs.
 Fats
 Vitamins
 Minerals
 water
Vitamins
 Vit A
 Vision
 Fruits and Veg
 Vit D
 Bones
 Dairy and skin exposed to sun
 Vit K
 Blood Clotting
 Veg and rectal bacteria
 Vit C
 Bone, Cartilage, gums
 Fruit and Veg
 Vit B12
 Blood
 Meat and Dairy
Minerals
 Fe
 Blood
 F
 Teeth
 Mg
 Coenzyme
 Ca
 Bone and Teeth
 P
 Bone and Teeth
 I
 Thyroid
 Na, K
 Water balance (Osmosis), Nerve Function
Nutrient Acquisition
 Autotrophic Nutrition
 Phototrophs (plants, algae cyanobacteria)
 Use sun to convert inorganics (i.e.. CO2 and H2O) into
organics
 Chemotrophs (some bacteria)
 Use CO2 and H2S to create organics
 Heterotrophic Nutrition
 Ingest plants and or animals for organics (Animals,
bacteria, fungi, some protozoa)
Energy in Food (ATP Potential)
 calorie=
 The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of
one gram of water one degree centigrade
 Calorie (Kilocalorie [kcal]) (On side of food
products)=1000 calories
 1g of Carb or Protein=4kcal
 1g of fat=9 kcal
 Measure with Calorimeter
Food Pyramid (USDA)-Old
Fiber
 Indigestible materials
 Fruits, veg, grains
 Stimulates digestive
system
 Cleans out Colon and
Rectal Cancer Cells
Nutrition
 Ingestion
 Take food into organism
 Digestion
 Break food down Mechanically and/or Chemically
 Can happen inside of cells (Intracellular Digestion)
 Can happen outside of cells (Extracellular Digestion)
 Absorption
 Breakdown products enter cells
 Egestion
 Elimination of indigestible food waste
