1 . NUTRITION AND GOOD EATING HABITS
1.1 NUTRIENTS
Definition : Chemical substances which all living things need in order to live and grow healthily.
Importance: 1. To get energy Gigi 2. To grow Ghazali 3. To build new cell Baru 4. To repair damaged tissue Rongak, 5. To maintain good health Mak…
Nutrient can be found in the 5 basic classes of food, there are:
Class of food Example Main ImportanceCarbohydrates Bread, Rice, Sugar Energy supplier
Proteins Meat, Fish, Egg “Fats Butter, Cheese, Oils “
Minerals & vitamins Vegetables, FruitsBody’s protection from
certain diseases Dietary fibre “ Constipation prevention
Water - Transportation of substances in bloodTo maintain body’s temperature (37ºC)
1.2 CALORIFIC VALUES IN FOOD
Definition: Amount of energy released by one gram of food when it is completely oxidized (digested)
How to measure: By using food calorimeter

3. THE NITROGEN CYCLE
2. NUTRIENT REQUIREMENT PLANTS
Keyword
Unit: kilojoules per gram (kJ/gram) Different type of foods give different calorific values
FoodCalorific values
(kJ/g)Food
Calorific values (kJ/g)
Bread 10.6 Milk 2.7Butter 31.2 Mutton 10.1
How to calculate energy supplied by food?
Energy supplied = mass of food (in gram) * calorific values
Example :
1. Find energy supplied by:
1) 80 g of bread2) 150 g of butter3) 65 g of milk4) 500 g of mutton
2. Find the total energy supplied for these foods
1.3 FACTORS AFFECTING ENERGY INTAKE
Amount of energy required by person depend on:
1. Sex SheilaMale need more energy than female
2. Body size BasuhPerson who has big size need more energy than person who has small size
3. State of health StokinNormal person need more energy than sick person
4. Physical activities PutihPeople who do hard job need more energy than people who do easy job
5. Temperature of surroundings TimahPeople who live in cold country need more energy than people who live in other places

1.4 BALANCED DIET
Definition: Diet which consists of all the classes of food, include water and dietary fibre, in the correct proportions.

1.5 HEALTH PROBLEM
A lot of problems might be arising from over eating, less eating or eating unbalanced diet. For example:a) Malnutrition (eating unbalanced diet) d) Diseases due to unhealthy eatingb) Obesity (more eating) habits (eating unbalanced diet).c) Anorexia nervosa (less eating)
For part a) malnutrition, diseases might be arising are as follow as:
Nutrient lacking
Disease Main symptoms Picture
Carbohydrate Marasmus Weak, dehydrated, severely underweight & shrunken appearance
Protein Kwashiorkor Loss of appetite, failure to grow & much swallowed abdomen
Iron Anaemia Pale appearance & loss appetite
Iodine Goitre Large swelling at the neck
Calcium Osteoporosis Weak bones and teeth & back bone might be bent
Keyword
Carbohydrates = 80%Proteins = 7.5%Fats = 10%Minerals & vitamins = sufficient amountDietary fibre = sufficient amountWater = 7-8 glasses
Vitamin A Night blindness
Poor eye sight at night
Vitamin B Beri-beri Weakness of the legs & lack of nervous sensation in the fingers and toes
Vitamin C Scurvy Bleeding gums
Vitamin D Rickets Bent legs due to the weak bones
Dietary fibre Constipation Difficulty in getting rid of solid waste from the body
For part b) obesity,
- It happens due to over eating for long period of time. So, the excess food is converted into fat and stored under skin (especially in the abdomen). As a result, person will become very fat or obese
- Diseases might be arising from obesity are:
a) high blood pressure d) stones in the gall bladderb) heart disease e) bent backbonec) diabetes
- How to avoid from being obese?
1. Control the way of eating 2. Do exercise regularly
For part c) anorexia nervosa,
- It happens due to insufficient amount of food taking by person especially ladies since they want to get slim body to look attractive. Eventually, they will vomit the digested food and as a result, they will become thin, dehydrated, and very undernourished.
- It also classified as social and psychological problem
- How to avoid from being “anorexia nervosa” person?
1. Take nutritious meal 2. See psychiatrist and therapist
For part d) diseases due to unhealthy eating habits,
- Diseases might be arising from these poor habits are:
1. hypertension 2. stroke - other name for high blood pressure - stroke occurs if artery of the brain bursts- affect to the heart - it can cause paralysis of part of the body - happens due to taking too much salt or the whole body
3. tooth decay 4. diabetes melitus- happen due to excess sugar in food, - happen when body can’t produce enough so bacteria inside the mouth change it insulin to deal with excess glucolin (cameinto lactic acid, and this acid destroy from food) the tooth’s enamel. - it can cause tiredness, coma, even worse- to avoid it, person should: deatha) eat less sugary food - to avoid it, person should: b) always brushing the teeth after eat a) eat less sugary food
b) do exercise regularly c) control weight
5. Atherosclerosis 6. Heart attack- happens due to excess of cholesterol - occur when the blood’s flow to the heart in bloodstream stop and part of the heart die.- it makes artery becomes hard, less elastic - it might be fataland resist blood’s flow
- to avoid it, person should:a) give up smokingb) control weightc) do exercise regularly
- side effect: hypertension d) eat healthy food
Importance of Taking Good Nutrition and Practicing Good Eating Habits
o Help us to prevent deficiency diseases such as ricket, goiter, scurvy and etc.o Help us to prevent health problem such as hypertension, stroke, diabetes and etc.o Supply necessary energy that required by uso Maintain our good health
Note:
Good eating habits that we should adopt include the following:
o Eat nutritious foodo Eat food which is rich in dietary fibreo Avoid taking food which has no nutritional valueo Avoid taking excessive amount of salts, sugars and fats with your foodo Drink 7-8 glasses of water per day
2 NUTRIENT REQUIREMENTS OF PLANTS
2.1 PHOTOSYNTHESIS IN GREEN PLANTS
Definition: Synthesize of food process by green plants in presence of sunlight using water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
Water + Carbon Dioxide Glucose + Oxygen
How photosynthesis occur:
Importance of photosynthesis:
o Helps to maintain the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen in atmosphereo Supply foods to green plants, animals and human being
sunlight
chlorophyll
Watero Absorbed
through the roots
o Transport along xylem to the leaves
Carbon dioxideo Absorbed
from air through the stomata in leaves
Glucoseo Combination
of hydrogen and carbon dioxide
Oxygeno Waste
producto Released
from leaves through stomata
Sunlighto Supply
energy for this process
Chlorophyllo Absorb
sunlight
2.2 MACRONUTRIENTS
Definition: Minerals required by plants in large amount for their healthy growth
Macronutrients and their functions:
Macronutrient FunctionCarbon (C) To form carbohydrates, proteins and fats
Hydrogen (H) “Oxygen (O) “Nitrogen (N) To form hormones, proteins, nucleic acid and chlorophyll
Phosphorus (P) To form proteins and nucleic acidTo stimulate the production of flowers and fruits
Potassium (K) To form carbohydrates, proteins and new cellsTo build up resistance for disease
Calcium (Ca) To form cell wallsFor growth
Magnesium (Mg) To form chlorophyllTo activate certain enzymes
Sulphur (S) To form certain amino acidsFor growth
2.3 MICRONUTRIENTS
Definition: Minerals required by plants in very small amount for their healthy growth. They also have known as trace elements.
Micronutrients and their functions:
Micronutrient FunctionBoron (B) To help in the breaking up of the carbohydrates
Molybdenum (Mo) To help nitrogen to carry out its functionsZinc (Zn) To activate certain enzymes
Manganese (Mn) “Copper (Cu) To form enzymes for photosynthesis
Iron (Fe) To form chlorophyll
Effects of Deficiency of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium on Plant Growth
Macronutrient Deficiency symptomNitrogen (N) Stunted (short) growth
Leaves are small, yellow and drop off easily Phosphorus (P) Poor growth especially the roots.
Few flower and fruitsPotassium (K) Leaves turn yellow (chlorosis)
Plants are weak and die before maturing.

4 MANAGING FOOD RESOURCES AND HEALTHY EATING HABITS
- Plant and animals are said to be our food resources. Thus, we should manage these food resources so that there will be a continuous food supply for us.- To manage these food resources, we have to do a lot of following things: Avoid wastage Ensure that we do not cook more than we can eat.
- Besides, we have to practice healthy eating habits in our daily life. It can be done by: Eat well-balanced diet Avoid skipping meals especially breakfast Eat our food slowly so that the brain has enough time to register fullness. Avoid taking excessive amount of sugars, salts and fats in our food
