Anticipation Guide (Page 1)
 Nutrition is key in
maintaining a healthy
body.
 The Food Pyramid is a
set of guidelines that
can help people
develop a healthy body.
Anticipation Guide (Page 2)
 Within this Food
Pyramid exist five major
food groups. All are
important in the
development of a healthy
body.

portion necessary to reach
6 to 11 servings.
Anticipation Guide (Page 4)
 For the the second food
group, the Vegetable
group , each person
should receive 2-3
servings per day. These
include raw, cooked and
leafy vegetables. Again,
you can click on the
picture to find out more
about this food group and
the necessary portions in
order to receive 2-3
servings per day .
Anticipation Guide (Page 5)

the fruit group.
According to the The
Food Pyramid it is
necessary to receive 2 to
4 servings of fruits in
either whole, can or
juice form. Click on the
picture for more
information on portion
sizes.
Anticipation Guide (Page 6)
 The fourth group
of the Food
Pyramid is the
Milk, Yogurt, and
Cheese group.
Two to three
servings from this
group are required
in order to
maintain a healthy
body. Click on the
picture for more
information.
Anticipation Guide (Page 7)
 The fifth food group
of the Food Pyramid
is known as the Meat,
Poultry, Fish, Dry
Beans, Eggs and Nuts
Group. According to
the Food Pyramid it is
important to receive 2
to 3 servings from this
group. Click on the
picture to the right to
find out more about
this group.
Anticipation Guide (Page 8)
 The final group of the
Food Pyramid is the
Fats, Oils, and Sweets
group. According to
the Food Pyramid,
fats, oils, and sweets
should be used in
small amounts as a
part of your daily food
intake.
Anticipation Guide (Page 9)
 Assignment:

Create a 1 day menu where you
receive the correct portions and
calories for all of the food
groups within the Food Pyramid.
Refer to www.mypyramid.gov
and
http://www.annecollins.com/calo
ries/index.htm for additional
information. Keep in mind that
your diet should be comprised of
55% carbohydrates, 10 – 15 %
proteins and less than 30 % fats.
Include a breakfast, lunch, and
supper within your menu. Log
all info.!
Learning Guide (Page 1)
 The following slides will be
dedicated to the study of the
four classes of large macromolecules that are used by
your body. These four
molecules include
carbohydrates, lipids,
proteins, and nucleic acids.
Each of these molecules are
important for the structure
and function of the human
body.
Learning Guide (Page 2)
 The first class of the large
molecules that will be
discussed are the
carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates can be
found in a wide variety of
foods. Carbohydrates, or
“carbs” as many people
call them, include small
sugar molecules found in
many soft drinks, fruits,
and vegetables. As well as
starch molecules found in
pasta or potato dishes.
Learning Guide (Page 3)
 The first type of
carbohydrate is called a
monosaccharide.
Monosaccharides are
simple sugars that include
glucose, galactose, and
fructose. Glucose is often
found in a variety of food
sources, galactose is found
in dairy products and
fructose is often found in
fruit.
Learning Guide (Page 4)
Glucose
Fructose
 Monosaccharides are the
building blocks or monomers
for larger sugars.
 Monosaccharides are also the
simplest forms of sugars and
can be digested easily.
 Finally, monosaccharides are
an excellent source of energy.
They are made up of carbon,
hydrogen, and oxygen in a
1:2:1 ratio (see diagram to the
right) and contain 4 calories
of energy per gram.
Learning Guide (Page 5)
 From two monosaccharides the
cells can construct a disaccharide
or double sugar. The process of
creating a disaccharide is called
dehydration synthesis or a
condensation reaction.
 Dehydration synthesis occurs
when the cell removes a molecule
of water from two monosaccharides (see diagram to the
right). An example of a
disaccharide is Maltose, a
common double sugar found in
plants and used in the beer
making process.
Glucose
Glucose
Maltose
Learning Guide (Page 6)
 Refer to pages 42 – 45 in your textbook.
 As stated earlier, dehydration synthesis is
responsible for the creation of these organic
molecules, however, hydrolysis is responsible for
the digestion or breakdown of these food
molecules. Notice how water molecules are either
removed or added to complete the bonding process.
 Observe figures 3.7 and 3.11
Learning Guide (Page 7)
 Other common
disaccharides include
Sucrose (table sugar) and
lactose (dairy sugar).
 All disaccharides have the
following formula
C12H22O11. Disaccharides
are also very good sources
of energy, but require to be
digested.
Learning Guide (Page 8)
 Complex carbohydrates,
those that contain many
sugar units forming a
long chain, are called
polysaccharides.
 Polysaccharides can be
found in many foods
such as potatoes and
corn. These foods are
rich in starch. Starch is a
storage polysaccharide
that cells break down in
order to obtain sugar.
Learning Guide (Page 9)
 Other forms of polysaccharides include Glycogen found in
muscle cells, Cellulose or fiber found in plant cell walls, and
chitin found in an insect’s exoskeleton.
 Note: Polysaccharides do not provide the quick boost of energy
that come from monosaccharides or disaccharides.
Muscle cells
Plant Cell
Insect Exoskeleton
Learning Guide (Page 10)
 The second class of molecules, used by cells, are
called lipids. Lipids are different than carbohydrates
because they do not mix with water. The Lipid
molecule contains a hydrophobic end (water fearing)
hydrocarbon end and a hydrophilic end (water loving)
carboxyl end/COOH.
 A perfect example of a lipid coming in contact with
water is an unshaken bottle of Italian salad dressing.
(Note:Where the oil and water come into contact with
one another is the hydrophilic end of the lipid
molecule.) The oil in the salad dressing, a type of a
lipid, separates from the vinegar, which is mostly
made up of water. Even when the salad dressing bottle
is shaken, the two substances will be forced to mix.
Yet, when the bottle is left alone, the oil (a lipid) and
vinegar (a watery substance) will begin to separate
once again.
Learning Guide (Page 11)
 Lipids are an important
source of stored energy,
keep you warm, provide
protection and even store
vitamins.
 Lipids also contain 9
calories of energy per gram
and your body’s second
source of energy.
 Lipids are also made of
carbon, hydrogen, and
oxygen.
 Lipids include fats, oils,
waxes, and steroid
hormones.
Learning Guide (Page 12)
Saturated fats vs. Unsaturated fats:
• Saturated fats are found
in animals.
• Unsaturated fats are
found in plants.
• Solid at room
temperature.
• Liquid at room
temperature.
• Associated with heart
disease (unhealthy).
• Do not promote heart
disease (healthy).
Learning Guide (Page 13)


A special class of lipids are called phospholipids. Phospholipids are important to the
structure of cells because they make up the cell membrane’s of animal cells.
As a result of these phospholipids, the cell membrane becomes selectively permeable,
meaning that the cell can now regulate the passage of materials into and out of the
cell’s interior.
Cell (Plasma)
Membrane Structure
Learning Guide (Page 14)
 The third class of molecules
used by cells are called
proteins. Proteins are are
constructed from any
combination of 20 common
amino acids.
 Proteins are an important
structural and functional
component of the human
body. Proteins also yield 4
calories of energy per gram.
 The protein shape
determines its function.
The Four Common Types of
Proteins are:
Structural proteins
Contractile proteins
Storage proteins
Transport proteins
Learning Guide (Page 15)
 The diagram in the left is a perfect example of amino acids joining in
order to become proteins.
 The diagram in the right is an example of a primary structure of a
protein created by linking one amino acid to another.
 Note: In order for amino acids to be joined together to form a
protein, a peptide bond is required to hold the amino acids together.
Amino
Acid
Learning Guide (Page 16)
 A unique type of protein is
called an enzyme.
Enzymes are important in
all biological activities.
Enzymes also allows for
chemical reactions to occur
in the human body and
catalyze them.
 The diagram to the right is
an example of how
enzymes function.
 Enzymes work by lowering
the amount of activation
energy a reaction needs in
order to function.
Learning Guide (Page 17)
 The fourth and final class
of the large molecules used
by cells and the human
body are called nucleic
acids. Nucleic acids
provide the directions for
building proteins.
 The two types of nucleic
acids inside of the body are
DNA (deoxyribonucleic
acid) and RNA (ribonucleic
acid).
Learning Guide (Page 18)
 The structure of a DNA
molecule can be broken down
into three specific parts. The
first part, the nucleotide (a)
consists of three parts: a sugar, a
phosphate, and a nitrogenous
base. In these simplified
diagrams, the three parts of a
nucleotide are symbolized with
shapes and colors.
Learning Guide (Page 19)
 The second part of the DNA
molecule is the DNA strand
(b) is composed of
nucleotides linked into a
backbone, with appendages
consisting of the bases. A
strand has a particular
sequence of four bases
abbreviated A, G, C, and T.
Learning Guide (Page 20)
 The third part of the DNA
molecule is the Double helix
(c ). A double helix consists of
two DNA strands bonded
together by strand bases. These
bonds are hydrogen bonds and
are therefore individually weak.
However these bonds zip the
two strands together with a
strength to give the double helix
stability.
Learning Guide (Page 21)
 When doctors talk about
children inheriting certain
traits such as blue eyes, or red
hair, from their parents, the
genetic material that these
children receive from their
parents consists of DNA.
 The directions for these
proteins are actually a
chemical code that must be
translated from a “nucleic
acid” language to a “protein”
language. The cell’s RNA
molecules is in charge of this
translation.
Learning Guide (Page 22)
 The chemical code within the DNA
consists of four bases.
 Adenine (A).
 Guanine (G).
 Thymine (T).
 Cytosine (C ).
 Genes can be pass along to offspring
because inheritance is based on
DNA code which is double stranded.
In the core of the helix the bases
mentioned above bond to create this
double helix DNA molecule. In this
code A can pair only with T, and G
can only pair with C.
