Energy Needs Assignment

You will follow directions to calculate your total energy needs.  You will then compare the calories you actually consumed to your caloric needs.

In addition, you will list some of the vitamins and minerals needed by the body; you will state the vitamin, the source of the vitamin, functions performed, and symptoms of deficiency or extreme excess.

The vitamins and minerals to be examined are those that are directly related to the cellular respiration:
Vitamin B1 - Thiamine
Vitamin B 2 - Riboflavin
Vitamin B3  - Niacin
Vitamin B6
Pantothenic acid
Chromium
Iron

Overview of Cellular Respiration

You will take notes on the major aspects of cellular respiration.  These notes are intended to breakdown the process and for you to understand the big picture, to help you comprehend the details. 
I hope you will read each of the stages, and then read the textbook and look at the pictures to follow grasp the process.  After all " 'they' say a picture is worth a thousand words." 😐


PowerPoint - Notes

 Friday, November 2, 2018
You will take notes on the first few sections of the text:
Breathing supplying the oxygen to our cells
Cellular respiration banking energy in ATP molecules and
making connections by showing how the body uses energy from ATP for all its activities.

Introduction to Chapter 6

Equation representing cellular respiration:  The equation is REDOX reaction.   (LEO the lion says GER).  Loss of electron is oxidation.  Gain of electron is reduction.
