Why do we eat?
We eat to take in more of these chemicals
Food for building materials
to make more of us (cells)
for growth
for repair
Food to make energy
calories
to make ATP
Regents Biology

What do we need to eat?
Foods to give you more building blocks
& more energy
for building & running bodies
carbohydrates
proteins
fats
nucleic acids
vitamins
minerals, salts
water
Regents Biology
The New Food Pyramid
Regents Biology
Don’t forget water
Water
65% of your body is H2O
water is inorganic
doesn’t contain carbon
Rest of you is made of carbon molecules
organic molecules
carbohydrates
proteins
fats
nucleic acids

Carbohydrates
Function:
quick energy
energy storage
structure
glucose
C6H12O6
cell wall in plants
sucrose
Examples
sugars
starches
cellulose (cell wall)
Regents Biology
starch
Sugars = building blocks
Names for sugars usually end in -ose

BIG carbohydrates
Polysaccharides
large carbohydrates
starch
energy storage in plants
potatoes
glycogen
energy storage in animals
poly = many
in liver & muscles
cellulose
structure in plants
cell walls
chitin
structure in arthropods & fungi
Regents Biology
exoskeleton
Building BIG carbohydrates
glucose + glucose + glucose… = polysaccharide
starch
(plant)
energy

glycogen

Digesting starch vs. cellulose
starch
easy to
digest
cellulose
hard to
digest
Regents Biology

Cellulose
Cell walls in plants
herbivores can digest cellulose well
most carnivores cannot digest cellulose
that’s why they
eat meat
to get their energy
& nutrients
cellulose = roughage
stays undigested
keeps material
moving in your
intestines
Regents Biology
Helpful bacteria
How can cows digest cellulose so well?
BACTERIA live in their stomachs & help digest
cellulose-rich (grass) meals
Eeeew…
