Balance Diet
A balance diet contains all classes of
food in correct proportions are as
follow
70 % carbohydrate
15 % protein
15 % fat and sufficient quantity
of vitamin and mineral.
Why a balance diet is
important
A balance diet is very important
because it provides sufficient
energy,prevents diseases and
maintains good health.
Children and elderly people require
more protein to build new tissues.
Pregnant mothers require more
calcium,phosphorus and iron
Excessive intake
Sugar can cause diabetes
Fat can cause heart disease and high
blood pressure.
Salt can cause heart disease and high
blood pressure.
Lack of protein in children can cause
kwashiorkor.
The quantity of energy needed by an
individual depends on
Age
A teeneger who is actively growing
needs more energy.
Gender
Men need more energy because they are more active in
their live.
Body size
The bigger the body is the more energy it requires
Activity
A construction worker or a labour requires more energy
compared to an office worker
Weather
In cold places more energy is needed to maintain the
body temperature

Test for starch
Iodine solution is used to test for
starch
The iodine solution will turn dark
blue if starch is present
Mashed banana contains starch
When 2-3 drops of iodine solution is
added into the mashed banana , it
turns dark blue to indicate the
presence of starch
Test for glucose
Benedict solution is used to test for glucose
A dark red precipitate will form when the
mixture of glucose and the benedict solution
is heated in a water bath
Honey contains glucose
2 Cm3 of the benedict solution is added into
the honey
Then the mixture is heated in a water bath
for 5 minute
A dark red precipitate is formed to indicate
the presence of glucose
Test for protein
Millons reagent is used to test for protein
A dark red precipitate will form when the
mixture of protein and the reagent is
heated
Egg white contains protein
2 to 3 drops of the Millons reagent is
added into the egg white
When the solution is heated,a dark red
precipitate will form to indicate the
presence of protein
Test for fats
Filter paper is used to test for fats
Cooking oil contains fats
Some oil is smeared onto the filter
paper
The paper is then dried under the flames
of the Bunsen burner
A translucent spot is formed on the filter
paper to indicate the presence of fats
Human Digestive System
Definition of food digestion
A process of breaking down food into
small , soluble molecules that can be
absorbed by the body(small intestine)
Chemical digestion
The saliva which is alkaline and
Duodenum
Group A Group B
Circulatory System
Body Cell
Respiration Assimilation
Digested food will be transported to
the liver and the lymphatic system to
be distributed to all the body cells
through the circulatory system for
Cell respiration.
Glucose will be oxidised by
oxygen to produce heat energy
Assimilation
Building new protoplasm ( amino
acid is used to replace the dead
cells )
Process of defecation
Undigested substances such as fibres
move into the large intestine
Excess water is absorbed through the
large intestine wall and the remaining
undigested solid that remain are call
faeces
Faeces will be removed through the
anus in a procces called defecation
Problem of Defecation
The difficulty of removing the faeces is
known as constipation
It is caused by the lack of water and fibre
in our food
Water is important because it makes the
faeces softer,not too dry or stick to the
internal wall of the large intestine
Eat more fruits which contain a lot of
fibres and vegetables to get more cellulose
which can assist the faeces to move along
the large intestine
