It is important for us to understand that what we consume each day impacts the biochemical activity in our bodies. For this assignment, you are to keep a food journal and record all of the food and drink items that you consume over a 24-hour period.
Recall:
Review the materials on chemical digestion
Analyze the different macromolecule categories
Identify specific locations where digestion takes place
Review the major enzymes that facilitate this process
Instructions:
After you have recorded everything you had to eat and drink during this 24-hour period, explain how each item is digested. In your response, complete the following:
You must identify the major macromolecules in each food/drink item.
After you have identified the major macromolecules, you then need to list where the chemical digestion of those macromolecules occurs and
Which enzymes are important for their proper digestion.
You may submit this information in a table format that is desired for better organization and presentation.
Write up your responses in a Word document.
