Name: _________________________________________ Date: __________________ Am I Really What I Eat? ______________________________________________________________________________ Using your model of how matter flows from our food cells to our own cells, answer the following questions: Breakout session #2 Question #1: Athletes preparing for a competition will often “carbo load” or eat a meal high in carbohydrates the night before. If glycogen is an important source of energy in our muscles, explain in words and well-labeled diagrams below how matter is transformed from a potato to our muscle cells to generate this macromolecule. 1) Make sure you include the following words in your explanation: potato cells amyloplasts starch polymer digestion hydrolysis covalent bonds monosaccharides monomers absorption animal cells dehydration reaction glycogen 2) Make sure you also include at least one observation from our Cell Diversity Lab (Lab 02) as evidence to support your explanation. REVISIONS: Breakout session #3 Question #2: Vegetarians can get the protein that their body needs by making sure they eat enough foods that are high in protein, like beans, nuts, and whole grains. As you did in Question #1, explain in words and well-labeled diagrams below how a plant’s proteins are transformed from its cells (use a typical plant cell in your answer) into human proteins in your cells (use a typical animal cell). 1) Make sure you include the following words in your explanation: plant cell example of a cellular structure in a plant cell where you would find protein polymer digestion stomach acid hydrogen bonds hydrolysis covalent bonds REVISIONS: amino acids monomers absorption animal cell the cellular structure that is responsible for protein synthesis dehydration reaction protein
