WHAT DID YOU LEARN TODAY?

Hey steeemians,
today in school we started a fresh new chapter,
It’s about Nutrition and Metabolism.
But one thing I like about the class is it gets interesting and
deep which helps me to enjoy what I’m learning.

Here’s what I learned

Well to start off I learned what Nutrition,
metabolism, catabolism and anabolism is.
I hope I didn’t loose you at catabolism...
because I was lost during class,
but don’t worry!
Some way some how I still understood it and you can too!
Now let’s get to “breaking it down” lol
(you’ll get the pun later).

Let’s learn the definitions

Nutrition is Food, vitamins, and minerals
that are ingested and taken/absorbed
into the body.

Metabolism is the process of using food molecules
as energy sources and as building blocks for our own molecules...
whaaaat, wowzers! (yes that was my initial reaction)

Catabolism breaks food molecules down,
releasing their stored energy
(do you get the pun...no..ok)
Also, oxygen is used in catabolism.

Did you skip the diagram?
(I’m not going to lie..I would of too.)
Finally, Anabolism builds food molecules
into complex substances.
Now that this stuff is “broken down”
it’s not all that hard.
When time is spent learning things
that is foreign to the mind we can learn
some interesting stuff!
