BORING SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Nutriville is not just afictional place in a story.

It is a real place, and it is

very close to you right

now: inside you. You can

eat all of the foodsmentioned in the book to

get those nutrients. You

are the factory. And to

show you I know what Iam talking about, we will

tell you some facts about

molecules and nutrients.

cont.

Polymers are very large molecules. The

are made of smaller molecules calle

monomers. Nucleotides are an example o

monomers. DNA and RNA are made o

nucleotides. They are polymers.

A monomer. A polymer. DNA.

cont.

A calorie is the energy necessary to heat one

gram of water one degree Celsius (or

Kelvin). One gram of carbohydrates gives

your factory about 4000 calories, which is

equal to four Calories (notice the uppercaseC). About 50% of your calories every day

should come from carbohydrates. Another

type of carbohydrate is cellulose, which

makes up the cell walls of plants and isfound in paper and film. No more than 30%

of your daily calories should come from

lipids, and no more than 35% should come

from proteins.Lipids Carbohydrates Proteins

So the next time you eat a bowl of whole wheat pasta with butter, pasta sauce, andparmesan cheese with a glass of milk,

think about Calvin and his friends.Think about how they are giving

energy and resources to the

factory in your body. Think about

how many calories your body is

getting from each nutrient.And wave.They will be watching.
