Carbohydrates (aka “carbs”), Fats, Minerals,

Vitamins and Water are defined as the major

nutrient groups.

Focus and Engage

■ This chapter will make the students aware of the

food choices they make.

■ Help the students learn to evaluate foods for

nutritional quality.

■ Encourage the students to understand their

bodies’ needs.

Introduce the Section

a. Encourage the students to be aware of the varied

food choices available to them.

b. Discuss new food options and ideas with the

students.

c. Help the students to realize that nutrition is a

science, not just an opinion or a feeling.

2 Chapter 1 ■ The Food You Eat

1 The Food You Eat

Have you ever wondered how the food you eat fuels your body?

Why some foods make your body feel and perform better than others? Nutrition has the answers. The more you know about nutrition,

the better you will be able to make food choices that will keep you

healthy and strong and keep your body functioning optimally.

Adequate nutrition can help prevent certain diseases, maintain an

optimal body weight, and give you more energy to participate in the

activities you enjoy. There are six essential nutrients in the human

diet. Take a look at what’s on the menu in your school cafeteria

today, and see if you can identify items that contain these nutrients.

In This Chapter,

You Will . . .

■ Understand the science of

nutrition

■ Learn how proteins, carbohydrates, and fats comprise the

foods you eat

■ Learn about the benefits of

vitamins, minerals, and water

■ Discover what calories are and

how they are calculated

■ Learn about food additives

such as flavor enhancers,

preservatives, and coloring

A nurse suspects that the IV line through which Doxorubicin (adriamycin) is infusing has infiltrated. The nurse has discontinued the IV site.
The nurse should IMMEDIATELY APPLY ICE PACK TO THAT AREA. Ice pack helps to reduce the absorption of the drug doxorubicin and thus minimize the its effect.

DRY MASS OF CORN SEEDLINGS GROWN UNDER DIFFERENT CONDITIONS

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

(a) One of the inorganic sources of new plant mass for the light-grown plants is the atmosphere. The carbon in the form of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is sequestrated into the body of the light-grown plants through a process known as photosynthesis. During this process, the inorganic carbon dioxide becomes fixed into the body of the plant through a series of steps that include both light-dependent and light-independent. The overall equation of the process is as below:

$6CO_2 + 6H_2O + Light --> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2$

As more plant mass is being gained by photosynthesis, some of the gained mass is also being lost to energy generation through a process known as respiration. Respiration is like the complete opposite of photosynthesis but a gain in mass is still possible because the rate of photosynthesis is more than the rate of respiration in the light-grown plants.

(b) The chemical reaction that can be held responsible for the decrease in mass of the dark-grown plants is respiration. Some of the mass is lost to energy generation and this mass cannot be recouped by adequate photosynthesis due to light limitation. The energy is needed to metabolic processes that would keep the plants alive. The equation of respiration is as below:

$C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2 --> 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + Energy$
