Supplying with energy
Supplies materials to repair
tissues and build new cellsFood can be classified as follows

Carbohydrate are present in various forms, such as:
i. starch, which is stored in plants.(bread, potatoes)
ii. Sugars, which are sweet and soluble in water.iii. Cellulose, which is found in plant cell walls andcannot be digested.(vegetable and fruits)
iv. Glycogen, which is found in liver and muscles.
Food rich in carbohydrate include rice; potato, sugar,
bread, and banana. Carbohydrate is our main source of energy.
Carbohydrate supplies us with energy to carry out dailyactivities such as walking, breathing, and working.

PROTEIN Protein is made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and
nitrogen.
Sometimes protein can also contain phosphorus andsulphur.
Food rich in protein includes fish, milk, meat, egg whiteand nuts (groundnuts and soya bean). Proteins arerequired for building new cells for growth, to replacedamaged tissue.
Growing children require a lot of protein. Lack ofprotein will cause a disease know as kwashiorkor(stunted growth).

FAT Fat is made up for carbon, hydrogen and oxygen but the ratio is
different from that of carbohydrate.
Food rich in fats includes palm oil, butter and egg yolk.
Fat produces twice the amount of energy compared withcarbohydrate of the same weight.
The function of fat include:
a. supplying energy,
b. as and insulator of heat to reduce heat loss from the body,
c. protecting the internal organs such as the kidneys and the
d. dissolving some vitamins in the body like vitamin A, D, E an

VITAMINS
Vitamins are required in small quantities only.
Vitamins are classified into two groups
a. vitamins soluble in water vitamin B and C ,
b. vitamins soluble in fat- vitamin A, D, E and K
Vitamins protect the body from various types ofdiseases and maintains the health of the body.

FIBRE
Fibre is made up of cellulose which cannobe digested by the body.
A shortage of fibre in our daily diet cancause constipation and sometimes even
bowel cancer.
Vegetables, fruit, beans, lentils and brownbread are examples of food rich in fibre.
WATER

23/53
WATER approximately 65% to 70% of a persons body weig
made up of water.
The body obtains water when we drink water and when we consume fruits and vegetables.
Water is needed by the body for:
a. helping in the digestion of food
b. transporting digested food substances
c. transporting excretory products such as urea.
d. maintaining the concentration of blood.
e. maintaining the body temperature
f. all metabolic processes

A BALANCED DIET Diet refers to the food and drinks that we consume
daily.
A balanced diet is one which contains
carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins,water and fibre in the correct quantities andproportions.
A balanced diet is necessary for:
a. supplying the required energy
b. balanced body growthc. maintaining the health of the body
d. preventing deficiency diseases such as scurvyand rickets.

The calorie value of food Energy in food measured in joules (J) or calories
1 calorie (cal) = 4.2 joules (J)
1 kilocalorie (kcal) = 4.2 kilojoules (kJ)
The calorific value of food is the amount of heatenergy released when one gram of food is comburnt in the air.
The calorific value of food is measured in kilojougram (kJ/g) or kilocalories per gram (kcal/g)
The calorific value differs for different types of foTable below shows the calorific value of some ofood that we eat daily.

HUMAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Digestion is the process of breaking downlarge and complex food substances intosmaller, simpler molecules. Thesemolecules are soluble and can be
absorbed by body cells. the digestive process occurs in a system
which is called the digestive system.

Mouth
chew and grinds food using the teeth
digests cooked starch. The amylase enzymes inthe saliva change cooked starch to maltose.
The salivary glands secrete saliva which containan enzyme called amylase.
Amylase digests starch and convert it to maltose(a type of sugar)

The process of digestion in the alimentary canal
a. physical digestion
involves the mechanical process of breakingdown large pieces of food into smallerparticles using the teeth and the churningmovements of the alimentary canal.
b. chemical digestion
involves the action of various enzymes in
breaking down complex food molecules.These complex molecules are insoluble butthe end products of chemicals digestion aresimpler molecules which are soluble.

Stomach in the stomach, food is mixed with gastric juices
Gastric glands in the stomach wall.
Gastric juices contains hydrochloric acid andenzymes (rennin and pepsin) .
The functions of hydrochloric acid include:
a. Hydrochloric acid stops the action of the
enzymes in saliva.b. It also kills bacteria in food.
Enzymes in the gastric juices start the digestion oprotein.

Duodenum & small intestine The duodenum is the first parts of the small
intestine.
The duodenum receives bile and pancreaticjuice. (bile is stored in the gall bladder)
The function of bile:
a. Emulsifications of fat i.e. breaking up largefatty globules into small droplets for enzymicaction.
b. Preparation of an alkaline medium forenzymic action.
The pancreatic amylase digests starch into
maltose

The lipase digests fat into fatty acid andglycerol.(duodenum)
The protease digests protein/peptones into
amino acids. The small intestine (ileum) produces enzymes
which digest maltose into glucose (simple sugar
Digestion is completed in the small intestine.
The digested food is then ready to be absorbedthrough the thin walls of the small intestine intothe bloodstream.

Absorption of the products ofdigestion
Absorption is the process when the end productof digestion enters the bloodstream through thesmall intestinal walls.
The inner surface of the small intestine (6 metreslong) covered with millions of small projections
about 1mm long. These projections are calledvilli @ villus.
Food that has been digested into its most simpleform is absorbed by the villi @ villus on the smallintestinal walls into the bloodstream.
The efficiency of absorption of digested food at

The efficiency of absorption of digested food atthe small intestine can be increased by:
a. more villus to increase surface area
b. villus with very thin walls Each villus has a network of a blood capillaries
and a lacteal.
Glucose, amino acids, minerals and water-solube vitamins are absorbed into the blood
capillaries.
Fatty acids, glycerol and fat-soluble vitamins(vitamin A, D, E and K) are absorbed into thelacteal.
REABSORPTION OF WATER AND

REABSORPTION OF WATER ANDDEFACATION
The main function of big intestine is to reabsorb water. The substances that enter the big intestine consist of
water and undigested food substances like cellulosefrom the fibre of vegetables and fruits (roughage)
Water is reabsorbed from these undigested food
substances. Undigested food materials together with water is passed
to the colon(first part of the large intestine)rectum is thelast portion of the large intestine

Defecation
Undigested food in the big intestine is expelledas faeces through the process of defecation.
When the rectum is full of faeces, the rectumundergoes peristalsis and assisted by abdominacontraction, will push the faeces through theanus to be expelled.
If an individual has problems passing motion, heor she is said to be constipated.
Constipation takes place because of the lack owater in the diet.
