Stored food• In animals, glucose is stored in the form of glycogen.• In plants, glucose is stored in the form of starch.
Why are glycogen and starch suitable as storage materials?
– Easily hydrolysed to glucose when needed– Large molecules and insoluble in water hence they do not
change the osmotic pressure in cells– Structures are compact so they occupy less space

Proteins
Proteins are comprised of amino acids linked together.
There are 20 different amino acids used to make proteins.
Amino acids can be broken into 2 types:• Essential amino acids (8)– Amino acids that cannot be synthesised by human body.
• Non-essential amino acids (12)– Amino acids that can be synthesised by human body.

Balanced Diet
A balanced diet is a
type of diet which
consists of all food at the correct amount.

40
Factors Affecting Diet1. Age
Teenagers need more energy than young children or adults. This is because they are actively growing and therefore needs energy for growth.
2. GenderMen use up more energy than women. This is because men have more muscle tissue than women (muscle tissue uses up more energy)
3. Physical ActivityThe more active a person is, the more energy he needs.
Can you think of any more factors?

Malnutrition
• Unbalanced diet.• It is caused by
1. eating too much of one or more food types.
2. eating too little of a particular food.

42
Eating too much of one or more food types
1. Obesity The state of being extremely overweight.
This is because of eating too much carbohydrates and fats. Excess carbohydrates are converted to fats and stored in the body.
Being overweight / obese often lead to: Hypertension (high blood pressure) Diabetes (high blood sugar) Coronary heart disease

43
2. Coronary Heart Disease Fats deposited on the inside walls of coronary
arteries reduce or prevent blood flow to heart muscles (artherosclerosis), thus the heart muscles cannot get enough oxygen. Heart muscles stop contracting, leading to chest pain (angina) and heart attacks.

Eating too little of a particular food
1. Vitamin and mineral deficiency diseases are examples of this type of malnutrition.

45
2.Constipation● Constipation is a condition in which a person
finds it difficult to remove the waste matter (faeces) from the large intestine (colon).
● This is due to eating too little fibre. ● It may stimulate cancer growths (colon cancer)
in the long term.3.Starvation
● Severe reduction in food intake for an extended period of time.
● It can cause permanent organ damage and can be fatal.

Famine
• Famine is the widespread scarcity of food.• Hundreds of millions of people suffer from
famine.• This is caused by several factors:
– Drought and flooding– Unequal distribution of food– Overpopulation
