A. Using the food pyramid, find out what your daily requirement of food from each food group is. Create a diet plan for one day, including meals and snacks. The plan should contain the right number of servings from each food group.
B. Health and nutrition are linked to science. Calories measure the amount of energy in food. During digestion, food molecules are broken down into sugar, particularly glucose, which is the fuel provider for all cells. Glucose molecules consist of many chemical bonds. These bonds store the energy in glucose. When the bonds are broken, energy is released and stored in another molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP molecules store the energy in amounts that are adequate to power cellular functions. Interview your science teacher on why ATP is called the universal currency of living systems.
