Health Science 20
HS20-NU1
Assess the importance of macronutrients (i.e., carbohydrates, proteins and fats) and micronutrients (e.g., vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals) in maintaining human health.
CP, SI
Indicators for this outcome
| (a) | Identify which macronutrients and micronutrients are commonly found in each food group (i.e., vegetables and fruit, grain products, milk and alternatives, meat and alternatives and oils and fats). (K) |
| (b) | Explore how the body breaks down and uses simple (e.g., monosaccharide and disaccharide) and complex (i.e., polysaccharide) carbohydrates and dietary fiber. (K) |
| (c) | Investigate the role of fats (e.g., saturated, unsaturated and trans fats) in processes such as long term energy storage, supporting vitamin absorption, creating cell membranes, synthesizing hormones, cushioning and protecting organs and helping us feel full. (K) |
| (d) | Explain the roles of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in managing cholesterol levels. |
| (e) | Describe the role of proteins in the production of antibodies, hemoglobin and insulin, structural support and building and maintaining muscle. (K) |
| (f) | Investigate how enzymes (e.g., amylase, pepsin, lipase and protease) found in the mouth, stomach, pancreas and small intestine aid in the chemical digestion of food. (K) |
| (g) | Recognize issues (e.g., hypo/hyperglycemia, high/low cholesterol and denaturation of proteins) that may arise when macromolecules disrupt homeostasis. (K, S) |
| (h) | Establish the relationships between dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions in relation to the macronutrients (e.g., glucose + fructose = sucrose). (K, S) |
| (i) | Explain how micronutrients (e.g., vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K, and iron, calcium and phosphorous) are necessary for health. (K) |
| (j) | Research the food source and health claims associated with various phytochemicals (e.g., carotenoids, flavonoids, phenolic acids, phytoestrogens and organosulphur compounds). (K, STSE, A) |
| (k) | Examine the connection between undernutrition or overnutrition and development of diseases such as anemia, scurvy, Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. (K, STSE) |
| (l) | Investigate the contributions of various people (e.g., Justus von Liebig, Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier, Claude Bernard and Emil Fischer) in advancing scientific understanding of nutrition. (STSE) |
| (m) | Explain the role of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a molecule indispensable for the functioning of cells and life. (K) |
