1 Food and Addictive Substances By the end of this chapter, you should be able to experiment, analyze and explain nutrients in food with energy quantities and proportions suitable to gender and age. discuss the effects of addictive substances on various systems of the body and guidelines for self-protection from addictive substances. Why do we need food?
1.1 Classes of Food Food is a collection of chemicals taken into an organism for the following purposes: (a) It provides energy for cellular activities. (b) It provides raw materials for growth and repair of worn-out tissues. (c) It keeps the organism healthy. The process of making or obtaining food is called nutrition. There are seven classes of food: (a) Carbohydrates (e) Minerals (b) Proteins (f ) Fibre (c) Fats (g) Water (d) Vitamins Food is not only tasty but also useful. Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are food substances consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in their molecules. The H:O ratio in carbohydrate molecules is 2:1. Carbohydrates include sugars, starch, glycogen and cellulose. Sugars are crystalline compounds that taste sweet and are water-soluble. Examples of sugars are glucose (grape sugar), sucrose (cane sugar), lactose (milk sugar) and maltose (malt sugar). Starch is stored in plant cells. Rice, potatoes and tapioca contain plenty of starch. Glycogen is also known as animal starch because it is stored in animal cells. Glycogen is stored mainly in the liver and muscles. 2 Science Focus Smart + MATHAYOM 2
Cellulose forms the greater part of the cell walls of plants. Starch, glycogen and cellulose are all made up of glucose molecules. Starch and glycogen can be readily converted to glucose when needed. Importance of carbohydrates: (a) Main source of energy for cell activities. (b) Forms supporting structures, such as cell walls in plants. (c) Can be converted to proteins and fats. Proteins Proteins are food substances that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Sulfur and phosphorus are present too. Every protein molecule is made up of basic units called amino acids. Meat, fish and eggs contain animal proteins while beans, nuts and seeds contain plant proteins. Importance of proteins: (a) Needed for growth and repair of worn-out or damaged cells. (b) Used for the synthesis of enzymes and some hormones. (c) Important components of antibodies which help the body to fight diseases. (d) A source of energy. Insufficient protein in a child s diet may lead to a disease called kwashiorkor. Fats Fats consist of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Unlike carbohydrates, however, fats contain less oxygen in proportion to hydrogen. Fats which are liquid at room temperature are called oils. Examples are palm oil and coconut oil. Each fat molecule consists of a glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecules. 1 3
Food rich in fats includes butter, margarine, cooking oil and fatty meats. Importance of fats: (a) An efficient source and storage of energy. Each gram of fat provides about twice the amount of energy supplied by carbohydrates or proteins. Excess fats are stored as fatty tissue under the skin and around internal organs such as kidneys and heart to protect the organs from physical injury. (b) Acts as solvent for fat-soluble vitamin A, D, E and K. (c) An important component of cell membrane. (d) Fats under the skin also act as an insulator to reduce heat loss from the body. A diet rich in fats, however, increases the risk of heart diseases. Vitamins Vitamins are organic compounds that are required in very small amounts for maintaining good health. Vitamins are not energy providing foods. Vitamins are divided into water-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins. The water-soluble vitamins are vitamin B and C. The fat-soluble vitamins include vitamin A, D, E and K. Diseases caused by a lack of vitamins in our body are called vitamin deficiency diseases. We should eat a varied diet to obtain all the different types of vitamins that our body needs. 4 Science Focus Smart + MATHAYOM 2
Vitamin Source Function Deficiency disease A Tomatoes, carrots, fish liver oil, green vegetables, egg yolk, liver For night vision or vision in dim light Healthy skin Night blindness Skin infections B Whole grain bread, cereals, eggs, milk, green vegetables Healthy skin Healthy nervous system Development of red blood cells Release of energy from carbohydrates Beri-beri (paralysis) Dermatitis (skin disorder) Pellagra (mental disorder and skin disease) Anemia (deficiency in red blood cells) C Fresh fruits, green vegetables Healthy tissues Healing of wounds Resistance to diseases Scurvy (bleeding gums, internal bleeding in muscles and skin) D Liver, fish liver oil, egg yolk, formed in skin by sunlight Promotes absorption of calcium and phosphorus Formation of healthy teeth and bones Rickets (bowed legs and knock knees) Osteomalacia (softening of bones) E Whole grain, wheat germ, vegetable oil May be needed for reproduction Sterility (failure to reproduce) K Green vegetables, tomatoes, egg yolk, made by bacteria in the large intestine Essential for blood clotting Prolonged bleeding Sources, functions and deficiency diseases of vitamins Minerals Minerals are inorganic chemical elements that are needed in small amounts. Minerals are required to regulate body processes. A lack of minerals can cause deficiency diseases. Iron is required for the formation of strong teeth and bones. Calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D are needed for the formation and maintenance of bones. 1 5
Mineral Source Function Deficiency disease Calcium Milk, cheese, eggs, anchovies, yogurt, green vegetables Building healthy bones and teeth Clotting of blood Normal functioning of muscles and nerves Rickets Delayed clotting Muscular cramps Sodium Table salt, salty fish, salty eggs, cheese Normal functioning of nerves Maintenance of tissue fluids Muscular cramps Iron Liver, kidneys, eggs, green vegetables Needed for the formation of red blood cells Activates certain enzymes Anemia Iodine Iodised salt, sea fish, shellfish Needed to make hormone of the thyroid gland Control body growth Goiter (swelling of the thyroid gland in the neck) Phosphorus Milk, whole grain bread, cereals, meat Formation of healthy bones and teeth Proper functioning of muscles Formation of chemical substances that store energy Rickets Weakness Potassium Meat, milk, fish, mushrooms, bananas Normal functioning of nerves Maintenance of tissue fluids Regulation of heartbeat Weak muscles Paralysis Sources, functions and deficiency diseases of minerals Dietary fiber (roughage) Dietary fiber consists mainly of cellulose that is indigestible because we do not have enzymes to digest it. Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber. Importance of dietary fiber: (a) Provides bulk to the intestinal contents. (b) Stimulates peristalsis (rhythmic muscular contractions passing along the digestive tract). Lack of dietary fiber in the diet leads to constipation (failure to pass motions). 6 Science Focus Smart + MATHAYOM 2
Water Water is very essential for life because 60% to 70% of our body weight is water. We can survive for several weeks without food but would die in a few days without water. Importance of water: (a) Acts as a solvent in which chemicals dissolve. (b) Acts as a transporting agent for digested food, excretory products, hormones and antibodies. (c) Takes part in biochemical reactions (for example: digestion). (d) A major component of blood, body fluids, digestive juices and urine. (e) Regulates body temperature by evaporation of sweat from the skin. We require at least 1.5 litres of water daily to replace water lost in sweat, urine, faeces and exhaled air. Food tests We can carry out tests to find out substances contained in food. We use different tests to test for different food substances. Testing for glucose, starch, protein and fats Materials/Apparatus: 10% glucose solution, 1% starch solution, 1% albumen solution, cooking oil, Benedict s solution, iodine solution, Millon s reagent, ethanol, distilled water, dropper, test tubes, beaker, water bath, tripod stand, wire gauze and Bunsen burner Procedure and result: Procedure 1. Benedict s test for glucose 2 cm 3 of glucose solution is mixed with 2 cm 3 of Benedict s solution in a test tube. The mixture is heated in a hot water bath for 5 minutes. Result A brick-red precipitate is produced. 1 7
Procedure 2. Iodine test for starch 2 cm 3 of starch solution is put into a test tube. A few drops of iodine solution are added to the starch solution. 3. Millon s test for proteins 2 cm 3 of albumen solution is placed into a test tube and 2 drops of Millon s reagent are added. The mixture is heated in a hot water bath for 5 minutes. 4. Emulsion test for fats 5 drops of ethanol and 2 drops of cooking oil are put into a test tube. The mixture is shaken. Then, 3 cm 3 of distilled water is added to the mixture and shaken thoroughly. The contents in the test tube are left to stand for 2 minutes. Result A blue-black color is formed. A red coagulation is produced. A milky solution is formed. Conclusion: 1. Benedict s test: A brick-red precipitate indicates the presence of glucose. 2. Iodine test: A blue-black color indicates the presence of starch. 3. Millon s test: A red coagulation indicates the presence of protein. Water Wire gauze Bunsen burner xxxxxxxxx xxxxxx Mixture Tripod stand 4.
