C. Where do saturated and unsaturated fats each come from?
unsaturated fat, originate from plants
saturated come from originate from animal sources
D. Why are some cholesterol good?
Because helps to stabilize all animals cell membranes, to synthesize steroid hormones
such as sex hormones of the adrenal cortex, in Vitamin D synthesis, and the synthesis of
bile.
2. Go to link and answer the following questions:
A. Why can fats be beneficial?

B. How much fat should you eat in a day?
The overall total from the whole meal is about 30% from fat.
C. Name two foods in which you can find saturated fats?
These fats are found in meat and cheese.
D. Name two foods in which you can find unsaturated fats?
These are found in plant foods and fish
3. Go to link and answer the following questions:
A. What does the chemical formula for a steroid look like?
The basis of a steroid molecule is a four-ring structure: one ring with five carbons and
three rings with six carbons.
B. What problems may someone have if they take extra steroids?
Can have kidney and liver problems or even die.
PROTEINS:
1. Go to link and answer the following questions:
A. List four chemicals (elements) found in proteins.
Carbon
Oxygen
Hydrogen
Nitrogen
B. What determines the structure of a protein?

Is determined by the sequence of amino acids connected by peptide bonds forming a

polypeptide chain.
C. List two ways to denature (ruin) a protein?
Protein is vulnerable to destruction by high temperatures, Wrong ph., radiations and
chemicals.
D. Do meats or plants have more of a variety of amino acids?
Most plants proteins are incomplete in that not all 20 amino acids are used in the building
of each type of plant protein molecule.
2. Go to link and answer the following questions:
A. What are proteins made up of?
Proteins are made up of smaller building blocks called amino acids, joined together in
chains. There are 20 different amino acids.
B. Name any 5 foods that have proteins in them.
Beef
Eggs
Dairy products
Fish
Nuts
C. Hemoglobin is a protein. What does it do?
Part of red blood cells that carries oxygen to every part of your body.
D. Why are amino acids essential?
The amino acids then can be reused to make the proteins your body needs to maintain
muscles, bones, blood, and body organs.
E. Why may there be a protein related concern with someone who doesnt eat
dairy products or drink milk?
Most vegetable protein is considered incomplete because it lacks one or more of the
essential amino acids. This can be a concern for someone who doesn't eat meat or milk
products. But people who eat a vegetarian diet can still get all their essential amino acids
by eating a wide variety of protein-rich vegetable foods.
F. How much protein do you need in a day?
Kids need to eat about 0.5 grams of protein for every pound (0.5 kilograms) they weigh.
Adults need about 60 grams per day. To figure out your protein needs, multiply your
weight in pounds times 0.5 or you can just take your weight and divide by 2.To figure out
your protein needs, multiply your weight in pounds times 0.5 or you can just take your
weight and divide by 2.
