Sugar in energy drink
equivalent to six pastries.
15. Question: MAY, 2004
Give biological explanations for each
of the following statements:
The diet of athletes is usually high in
carbohydrates. (5)
Athletes need a lot of energy. Carbohydrates are
the body’s main energy source. Carbohydrates
like starch in bread are digested into glucose.
Glucose is used in respiration to release energy. If
athletes take in monosaccharides, i.e. sugars e.g.
glucose, they are provided with energy very
quickly.
16. Uses of carbohydrates:b) to store energy
e.g. starch in
potatoes or roots
c) to build cell walls in
plants
Cell wall
Storage
organs
17. Uses of carbohydrates:d) fibre is important to prevent constipation
Food sources of fibre:
whole wheat, bran, fresh or
dried fruit & vegetables.
Constipated!!
18. In what form are excess carbohydrates stored?
1) in plants: starch
2) in animals: glycogen
Name two places
in animals where
glycogen is stored.
Liver & muscles
19. Three types of carbohydrates
1. Monosaccharides
e.g. glucose, fructose
2. Disaccharides
e.g. maltose, lactose, sucrose
3. Polysaccharides
e.g. starch, glycogen, cellulose
21. Name the monosaccharide which forms
starch, glycogen and cellulose. Glucose
Glycogen
Cellulose
Starch
22. How do starch, glycogen and cellulose
differ?
The way glucose units
are linked together
Glycogen
Cellulose
Starch
23. Question: MAY, 2008 (IIB)
Where in a plant would you expect to find:
i) Cellulose (1)
ii) Starch (1)
i) Cellulose – found in cell walls of plant cell
ii) Starch – found stored in roots /
storage organs
24. Why is the tired athlete choosing sugar
rather than starch?
Sugars, especially
monosaccharides can
be used for respiration
right away.
Starch needs to be
digested first.

26. LIPIDS
a name for fats and oils
contain the elements:- C, H, O
lard
28. uses of lipid
a) provide energy (39 kJ/g)
b) store energy
29. uses of lipid
c) insulation in mammals
d) protection of delicate
organs from bumps
Fat lines body wall of a rabbit.
Fat around kidney.
30. Question: MAY, 2008 (IIB)
Explain why one kilogram of starch crops
releases less energy when burnt, compared to
one kilogram of oil crops. (2)
Starch is a carbohydrate whilst oil is a lipid.
Carbohydrates have a lower energy content
than lipids.
31. building blocks of a lipid molecule:
Glycerol
Fatty acids
A molecule of fat
32. excess lipids are stored:1) in the ADIPOSE TISSUE under the skin
2) around organs
Fat around
heart.
44. Two types of amino acids:
1. Essential [8 amino acids]
must be eaten as they
cannot be made by the
body
2. non-essential
can be made by the
body
45. contain significant amounts of all the essential
amino acids
Source: animals : eggs, meat, fish, cheese
deficient in one or more essential amino acid
Source: plants
46. For example, corn is deficient in one
amino acid
Individuals who eat only corn would show
symptoms of protein deficiency.
• This is true from any diet limited to a
single plant source, including:
Rice
Wheat
or potatoes
51. Artificial meat is manufactured from :
soya beans
bacteria and fungi
Artificial meat is flavoured
and textured to taste like
chicken or ham.
52.
53. How can protein deficiency from a vegetarian
diet be avoided?
By eating a
combination of plant
foods that complement
each other to supply all
essential amino acids.
54. For example, beans supply the lysine that
is missing in corn, and corn provides
the methionine which is deficient
in beans.
55. Excess proteins:
cannot be stored in the body
are broken down in the liver by a process
called DEAMINATION
the waste product produced is called UREA

is needed to build the red pigment in blood
called haemoglobin
61. IRON
is found in:
red meat like liver &
kidneys
green vegetables: spinach,
broccoli
62. A lack of iron results in:
ANAEMIA
Normal amount of
red blood cells
Anaemic amount of
red blood cells
63. Question: MAY, 2004
Give biological explanations for each of the
following statements:
a) A dietician suggested to an anaemic person to
include liver in the diet. (5)
Person lacks iron. Red meat like liver is rich in
iron. Iron is needed to form haemoglobin in red
blood cells.
64. b) Nutritionists often
recommend a low
intake of fried foods. (5)
Fats provide a lot of
energy. May lead to
obesity.
Fried foods are rich in cholesterol that may
block arteries = higher risk for a heart attack.

67. VITAMINS
needed in small quantities for the normal
chemical activities of the body
cannot be used as:
a source of energy
OR
to build cell structures
68. A disease develops if a vitamin is missing. How
can the person be cured?
By taking the missing vitamin.
69. vitamins can be :a) Water soluble – vitamins B and C
b) Fat soluble – vitamins A, D, E, K
70. Why is it better to
steam vegetables
rather than boil them?
Water-soluble vitamins are
lost from the vegetables
when they are boiled but
not when steamed.
72. Carrots are a rich source of
vitamin A
Vitamin A prevents
night blindness.
73. QUESTION: MAY 2010
Explain why the student used this picture when
mentioning night blindness. (2)
Night blindness is caused by a lack of Vitamin A
in the diet. 1 mark
Carrots are a good source of Vitamin A that can
help to prevent night blindness. 1 mark
78. Vitamin D is made by the
action of sunlight on the
skin.
Normal
Deficiency of
Vitamin D:
Rickets
79. NOTE:
Lack of calcium
Lack of vitamin D
Reason:
Vitamin D helps the body to
absorb calcium from the
foods we eat.
The more calcium the body
can absorb, the stronger the
bones will become
80. Question: Sep, 2004
What special provisions should be made in the
diet of young children and pregnant mothers?
Explain why each provision you mention is
important. (6, 4)
Young children:
1. High protein content food – e.g. meat for
growth
2. Drink a lot of milk – supplies proteins,
calcium, Vitamin A & D.
3. Include carbohydrate-rich foods – for energy
81. Pregnant women:
1. Folic acid (a vitamin B) – in
citrus fruit, legumes: to form
the nervous system of the
embryo
2. Food rich in iron – e.g. liver, green
vegetables: to have enough blood in
placenta to nourish embryo
3. Calcium-rich food – e.g. dairy products to
supply embryo with calcium to form its
skeleton
82. Question: Sep, 2004
Give a biological explanation for each of the
following statements.
a) Daily inclusion of too much Vitamin C in the
diet is a waste. (2)
Vitamin C cannot be stored in the body as it
is water-soluble. Lost in urine.
83. Give a biological explanation for each of the
following statements.
a) Small doses of Vitamin D (5-10mg per day)
are recommended for housebound people
spending a lot of time indoors. (2)
Vitamin D cannot be made by the action of
sunlight on the skin. To have enough
Vitamin D, supplements are
needed.
84. Question: MAY, 2004
Give biological explanations for each
of the following statements:
a) School canteens are encouraged
to sell unsweetened cereals rather
than sweets. (5)
Sweets are carbohydrates that
provide energy.
Too much sweets may lead to obesity.
Obesity leads to higher risk of diseases.
Sweets increase chance for tooth decay.
85. b) Young children are
encouraged to eat dairy
products regularly. (5)
Milk is rich in:
calcium – needed to form
strong bones and teeth.
proteins – needed for
growth.
Vitamins – for healthy growth; e.g. vitamin A to
prevent night blindness and vitamin D to help in
the absorption of calcium and to prevent rickets.

Explain why although humans cannot digest
dietary fibre, it is still important.
89. Functions of roughage:1. adds bulk to the contents of the intestine
and keeps food moving along the gut
Gut
90. Functions of roughage:2. prevents constipation as fibre retains water
so that the faeces are soft
3. prevents cancer of the colon (part of the
intestine)
