• Cells require a constant source of energy for life processes, but keep only a small amount of ATP on hand.

• Cells can regenerate ATP as needed by using the energy stored in foods…BUT, YOUR CELLS CAN’T JUST EAT A HOT DOG, SO HOW DO THEY GET THE ENERGY?

THE SIMPLE STORY OF HOW FOOD BECOMES ENERGY

REVIEW/QUICK CHECK WHICH ORGANELLE WOULD ALLOW THESE

NUTRIENT MOLECULES TO ENTER THE CELL? WHICH STERNGRR PROCESS WOULD BE

UTILIZED TO NOT ONLY GET THE MOLECULES TO THE CELL, BUT GET THEM INTO THE CELL?

WHICH ORGANELLE WOULD HAVE TO BREAK THE MOLECULES DOWN FURTHER SO THAT THEY ARE MORE USEFUL?

WHICH ORGANELLE WOULD STORE THIS NUTRIENT IF IT WAS NOT NEEDED IMMEDIATELY?

WHICH ORGANELLE WOULD USE IT TO MAKE ADDITIONAL ATP (ENERGY) WHEN THE TIME COMES?

WHAT IS THIS PROCESS OF CREATING ENERGY IN YOUR BODY CALLED?

REVIEW/QUICK CHECK WHAT ARE THE 7 MAIN COMPONENTS NEEDED

ON A DAILY BASIS FOR A HEALTHY BALANCED DIET?

WATER, VITAMINS, MINERALS & FIBER ARE NOT SOURCES OF ENERGY, BUT ARE ALSO NECESSARY FOR AN ORGANISM TO FUNCTION PROPERLY!

NUTRIENTS – substances in food that provide cells materials to make energy to carry out essential life processes.

•Carbohydrates

•Proteins

•Lipids (Fats)

ENERGY FROM NUTRIENTS
