GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Metabolic rate is the measure of how quickly your cells convert glucose into energy. The word ‘rate’ refers to how fast this process is occurring. Men and women require a specified amount of calories per day. When you are cold your body requires more energy than when your are warm. What other factors change the amount of daily energy that you require? STARTER I understand and can use the terms malnutrition, metabolic rate
3
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Objectives By the end of the lesson I: Understand and can use the terms malnutrition, metabolic rate Know the food tests for starch, glucose, protein and fat and how to find the energy value of food Can create my own results table. Identify the function of different foods
4
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Iodine is used to test for starch. If starch is present it changes to blue/black. Biurets solution is used to test for protein. If protein is present it changes to purple/lilac. Benedicts solution is used to test for glucose. If glucose is present it changes to red/orange. Plain brown paper is used to test for fats. If fat is present it makes the paper greasy. If alcohol is added to fats then a clear and colourless solution turns a cloudy white if positive FOOD TESTS I know the food tests for starch, glucose, protein and fat and how to find the energy value of food
5
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Functions of Fats, Carbohydrates and Proteins Task Two NutrientFunctionStructure Fats Carbohydrates Proteins I can identify the function of different foods
6
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Function of fats Fats provide the body with energy. They provide more energy than carbohydrates. Our bodies store fat under the skin to help prevent heat loss. Fat is also surrounds and protects vital organs such as kidney’s. Fats also provide fat-soluble vitamins: A, D & K. I can identify the function of different foods
7
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Structure of fats =CCCC I can identify the function of different foods
8
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Function of Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are fuels that provide energy for the body. There are two types of carbohydrates: SimpleComplex Fructose Lactose Sucrose Glucose Starch Glycogen I can identify the function of different foods
9
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Structure of Carbohydrates + FructoseGlucoseSucrose Starch I can identify the function of different foods
10
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Function of Proteins Protein is needed by the body to grow new cells or to repair old and damaged cells. Proteins are large molecules that are made up of lots of amino acids. Amino Acid I can identify the function of different foods
11
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology 1.Place 2cm height of water in a boiling tube. 2.Set up equipment as shown by Miss C 3.Weigh the piece of food and record the weight in grams 4.Note the starting temperature 5.Ignite the food and quickly place under the boiling tube 6.Record the temperature once the food has finished burning and record how much the temperature increased 7.Do the following calculation 2 x (rise in temperature) x 4.2 -divided by- How heavy the food was This is the energy value of the piece of food! I know the food tests for starch, glucose, protein and fat and how to find the energy value of food

GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology What does BMI stand for and what does it measure? STARTER EXCESS EXCESS is the issue! too much foodobesity too much food leads to obesity and too littlestarvation too little leads to starvation. Both cause health problems !
17
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Objectives By the end of the lesson I: Understand at least THREE healthy problems linked to being overweight Know why it is unhealthy to be too skinny Know how to slim down healthily Know what cholesterol is and why cholesterol levels matter Know that too much salt is bad for us
18
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology How the body stores fat You know that intake should equal output and that a balanced diet needs to contain the right balance of the essential nutrients. An imbalance causes malnutrition. You start getting fat when you use up less energy than you take in. Extra glucose is stored as fat and deposited under the skin. You don’t get fat cells they just get bigger as they fill up with fat. I understand at least THREE healthy problems linked to being overweight
19
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Carrying too much weight can be uncomfortable! And lead to 1.Arthritis (worn joints) 2.Diabetes (high blood glucose levels that are hard to control) 3.High blood pressure (increasing the stress on the heart) 4.Heart disease (degeneration of the heart muscle and/or function) 5.Early death OBESITY I understand at least THREE healthy problems linked to being overweight
20
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology If there is no food to eat, then you starve! Which can lead to 1.Dramatic weight loss or low body weight (wasting of muscles reducing their ability to support the skeleton) 2.Compromised immune system (your body is too weak to fight off disease and you contract infections that cause further harm and/or damage) 3.In females menstruation can become irregular or stop causing problems with conception STARVATION I know why it is unhealthy to be too skinny
21
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Most adults ‘watch their weight’ and will at times try to lose weight or slim down WEIGHT LOSS The biological mechanics are very simple -reduce intake (but ensure it is balanced) -increase output (but do not over do it so as to avoid injury) So why do so many people struggle with losing weight? I know how to slim down healthily
22
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Cholesterol is a type of fat that is made by the liver. It is found in every cell in your body and it is carried in your blood stream attached to a protein. You need cholesterol to make cell membranes, sex hormones and hormones that help your body deal with stress. In fact without it you wouldn’t survive. This fat-protein combination is known as a Lipoprotein. Lipoproteins can be: HDL high density lipoproteins LDL low density lipoproteins Cholesterol I know what cholesterol is and why cholesterol levels matter
23
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology LDL cholesterol LDL (Low density lipoprotein) is mostly fat with a little protein. It is said to be ‘bad cholesterol’ because it deposits fat into your arteries. This means that blood cannot pass through them easily. If they block it can lead to heart attack or stroke. I know what cholesterol is and why cholesterol levels matter
24
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Cholesterol I know what cholesterol is and why cholesterol levels matter The amount of cholesterol you have in your blood depends on 1.The way your liver works (this is inherited from your parents) 2.The amount of fat in your diet YUCK
25
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology LDL Can be increased by a diet that is high in saturated fats e.g dairy products, red meats, butter… High levels of LDL increase your chance of heart disease and heart attack. I know what cholesterol is and why cholesterol levels matter
26
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology HDL High density lipoproteins-HDL is mostly protein with a little fat attached. It is said to be ‘good cholesterol’ because it stops ‘bad cholesterol’ from building up in the arteries. I know what cholesterol is and why cholesterol levels matter
27
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Objectives By the end of the lesson I: Understand at least THREE healthy problems linked to being overweight Know why it is unhealthy to be too skinny Know how to slim down healthily Know what cholesterol is and why cholesterol levels matter Know that too much salt is bad for us

29
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Objectives By the end of the lesson I: Know three different types of fat Know what statins do to control cholesterol Know that too much salt is bad for us Be able to write a balanced argument
30
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Starter Questions 1)Does LDL contain more fat or protein? 2) What is a lipoprotein? 3) Explain why LDL is bad for you and how it can lead to heart disease. 4) Draw a diagram to show how cholesterol can block arteries. 5) List two foods that contain high amounts of LDL. 6) Does HDL contain more fat or protein? 7) Explain why HDL is good for you and may reduce heart disease. 8) List the differences between LDL and HDL and list the foods that they are found in. I know what cholesterol is and why cholesterol levels matter
31
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Mono-saturated fats Have 2 useful effects 1.Reduce your overall blood cholesterol level 2.Improve the balance between your good and bad (LDL) cholesterol These are found in foods like olive oil, peanuts, margarine and olives I know three different types of fat FATS
32
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Polyunsaturated fats Do any even better job of balancing than mono-unsaturated fats! These are found in foods like corn oil, sunflower oil, oily fish and margarine FATS I know three different types of fat
33
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Statins Statins are drugs that can be taken to reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood. They work by reducing the amount of cholesterol produced by the liver. They are given to people that cannot lower the level of cholesterol in their blood by changing their diet. Statins have side effects that can cause headaches, nausea, stomach pains and liver problems. I know what statins do to control cholesterol
34
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Common statins in use in the UK Brand NameGeneric (drug) name Manufacturer Zocor Lipostat Simvaststin Pravastatin MSD BM Squibb Crestor Inegy* Rosuvastatin Simvastatin* AstraZeneca MSD Lescol Lipitor Fluvastatin Atorvastatin Novartis Pfizer * In combination with a drug that stops cholesterol being absorbed I know what statins do to control cholesterol
35
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology How good are statins ? Research the statin revolution using your textbook. Then write an article for a newsletter detailing why this group of drugs are considered revolutionary. You must give a two sided argument! Include –Patient types, patient recommendations, any trial evidence, brands & generic names and manufacturers. I know what statins do to control cholesterol
36
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Statins Statins are drugs that can be taken to ________ the amount of cholesterol in the blood. They work by reducing the amount of _________ produced by the ________. They are given to people that cannot lower the level of cholesterol in their ______ by changing their ____. _______ have side effects that can cause headaches, nausea, ________ _____ and liver problems. PLENARY I know that too much salt is bad for you Salt is important in your body for the normal functioning of your nervous system. Too much can lead to damage of your kidney and liver and an increased chance of stroke.
37
GCSE Core ScienceHuman Biology Questions Put your answer into a table. 9) How do monounsaturated fats affect cholesterol levels? 10) Why is it important to try to reduce blood cholesterol by changing your diet before statins are prescribed? I know what cholesterol is and why cholesterol levels matter
