Homework
Creative diagram or infographic on one macronutrient's journey through digestion and absorption in the body.
Description
The learning objectives for this chapter focus heavily on mechanisms and processes involved in nutrient digestion and absorption, specifically how food molecules are broken down into their unique constituents and absorbed for usage in the body. This homework requires students to create a diagram or infographic on a macronutrient (carbohydrates, lipids/fats, or proteins) of choice, and how it progresses through the body during digestion and absorption.
Students should be able to answer the following four questions:
a. Macronutrient Source: what are some major food sources of this macronutrient?
b. Digestion: how is this macronutrient digested?
c. Absorption: how is this macronutrient absorbed?
d. Limitations: are there any internal or external limitations on how this nutrient may be obtained for use in the body?
Format your homework according to the give formatting requirements:
a. The answer must be double spaced, typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
b. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the course title, the student's name, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
c. Also include a reference page. The references and Citations should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
