Another Science Notecard (Jones, 8th grade)
Carb.-energy, simple &complex, lack
of energy Fat-stored
energy&insulation, Saturated=animal
fat...meat, milk,cream
Unsat.=oil,margarine, lack of
energy&insulation
Protein- amino acids-22 building
blocks- 8 essential- build, grow, repair,
found in meat, fish, poultry, egg, nuts,
peanut butter, milk,
beans...kwashiorkor children 1-6=lack
of protein minerals- calcium-
dairy, dark green veg., poor bones and
teeth. Iron- makes hemoglobin-rich
red blood cell, liver meat, raisins,
anemia=iron poor blood. Iodine-
works with thyroid to reg. metabolism,
iodized salt, ocean sea food, goiter
swelling of neck.
Flourine- strong tooth enamel, water,
dentist toothpaste, decayed teeth.
Vitamins- A- fat soluable, "beauty
vitamin" clear skin, shiny hair, prevents
night blindness, dark green and yellow
vegetables...carrots, poor skin &hair,
night blindness. B1-thiamine-
water soluable, normal appetite, bread
ceareal meat veg., poor appetite. B2-
Riboflavin- water sol., healthy skin,
dairy, poor skin. Niacin-water sol.,
healthy nerves, bread cereal meat,
poor nerves. C- ascorbic acid, wate
sol., resist infection,cements cells
together, citrus fruit, scurvy-body falls
apart. D- fat sol.,strong bones & teeth,
sunshine...added to milk, cod liver oil.
Nutrients-sibstances in food needed by the body. There are 50+ nutrients. The 6
essential are protein, fat, carb, water, minerals, and vitamins. A calorie is a unit of
measurement which the body uses to produce energy. Nutrition- the science that
studies food and its effect on the body.
