QUESTION 8 QUESTION 13

Glucose Suggestion : Chicken burger

P1: Excess of glucose (in the blood) is converted Sufficient protein

to glycogen (and stored)
Protein needs for growth
P2: by insulin
To synthesise enzymes, haemoglobin and
P3: When glucose level in blood is low glycogen hormones
is converted to glucose
Excess amino acids are converted into urea
P4: by glucagon
As a result, urea crystallises in the blood and
P5: Excess of glycogen is converted to lipids depositing at joints causes swelling and pain at
joints
P6: glucose is oxidized to release energy (in
cellular respiration) Sufficient carbohydrate

Amino acid Able to carry out cellular respiration to produce

P7: Synthesis of plasma protein (from amino
acids)
P8: Excess amino acids are deaminated into urea /
uric acid
P9: Is used to synthesize new protoplasm/ repair
of damaged tissues
enough energy to carry out daily activities
Overconsumption of sugar leads to diabetes
mellitus due to pancreas unable to produce insulin
Excess glucose will convert into fats and store in
body that leads to obesity
Fat content are high

P10: Is used to synthesize Too much of fats intake leads to obesity or

enzymes/antibodies/hormones cardiovascular disease

Lipids Lumen of blood vessel narrowed due to deposition

P11: Excess lipids is stored in adipose tissues
P12: Phospholipids / cholesterol make up the
plasma membrane
of cholesterol at the wall of lumen
Contain more sodium
Leads to high blood pressure

P13: Synthesis of hormones Salt will crystallise in kidney forming kidney

stones
P14: Acts as body insulator
Kidney stone might flow into the ureter and make
urination painful

Thus, leading to kidney failure

Contains less fibre that does not help in

stimulating peristalsis

Cause constipation and leads to haemorrhoids or

colon cancer

QUESTION 14
Lipid
fried chicken, pizza, potato chips, and ice cream
contains a lot of fat
This will lead to obesity
Excess saturated fats increases the blood
cholesterol level cholesterol deposits on the walls
of the lumen of blood vessels and will lead to
atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis contributes to many
cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and
heart attack.
Glucose
Ice cream, and chocolates contains a lot of sugar
This will result in obesity and diabetes
Vitamins and fibre
his diet does not contain fruit and vegetables
Lack of vitamins and dietary fibre
His body will have low immunity and will be
vulnerable to many diseases
Lack of fibre will result in constipation as well
Salt (Sodium)
Potato chips has high salt content which contains
a lot of sodium
Too much salts in die will cause it to crystallise in
the kidney forming kidney stones

QUESTION 16
(b) Amira
• Gastric juice is secreted into the stomach when
Amira has empty stomach.
• The acidic gastric juice acting on the stomach
lining tissues.
• The action of the acidic juice will cause the
stomach lining to develop a hole, cause a gastric
ulcer.
• Amira will feel pain or discomfort, loss appetite,
nausea, and lose weight.
• Gastritis increases the risk of stomach cancer
too.

nervosa.
• Frequent induced vomiting food can cause bad
effect to the stomach.
• The stomach cannot digest the food properly,
Huda does not get proper nutrient from the food.
• Induced vomiting can cause imbalance of
mineral salts in the blood.
