The feedback mechanisms of metabolism of a variety of substances in the human body. Carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and their derivatives are explained. The biochemistry required to explain the metabolic balance and feedback controls...

Ninth graders examine the structure and function of biomolecules. In this food molecule lesson, 9th graders will examine various  types of biomolecules such as  carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. They will...

Ms. Foglia has created another comprehensive biology worksheet that you can use with your advanced learners. The topic is animal nutrition and the digestive system. Questions address nutrients and deficiencies, stages of food processing,...

A rather uninspired powerpoint which covers all the information that is required to recap nutrition needs and metabolism but does not include any images or infographics.  Some of the information is unusual and specialised to farm...

Students gain an awareness of nutrition. In this science lesson plan, students explore how to determine his or her ideal body weight, demonstrate familiarity with the food groups relating to kilocaloric content, estimate the basic...

The main concepts behind how ATP transfers energy are explained in this Ap Biology PowerPoint. The diagrams convey the information that students need for any test regarding phosphorylation. The steps are clear, and should help...

Storing and transferring energy is explained here with reference to the fight or flight response, along with the need for activity in times of lowered nutrition. This is a great summary of ATP applications, and after the multiple stages...

From the light reaction to the Calvin cycle, this presentation contains information about the various stages of photosynthesis.  This is a great supplement to some of the biochemistry-heavy presentations about the specific...

All aspects of the photosynthesis process, and the way that plants have adapted with specializations are detailed here.  The diagrams and info-graphics will be useful to your AP biology class. It could also be used as a review...

As your class views each slide, they will be introduced to the organelles and structure of the cell.  Details about structure and function are given and also some trivia about their frequency and population. There is also some...

Students explore basic nutrition concepts to help them select healthy diet, evaluate food intake, discuss major food labeling issues, design labels for food products, examine history of food packaging development and how packaging...

Students conduct various experiments on glucose. In this biology lesson, students differentiate the process of diffusion and osmosis. They test different foods for the presence of glucose and starch.

Tenth graders study how cells and organisms acquire and release energy through photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They explain that living organisms use matter and energy to synthesize a variety of organic molecules and they will...

In this chemistry of life worksheet, students will review key terms of plant cell structure and chemistry by reading 13 clues to complete the puzzle. Word bank is included.

In this food energy and nutrients worksheet, students fill in the blank and complete a chart with information about food energy and essential nutrients needed for the body. Using the Nelson text, students complete a chart about...

In this digestive system worksheet, students answer 9 questions, 2 of which are multiple choice and 7 are short answer. Included are questions about the process of digestion and the structures of the digestive system.

Students examine water, its function and how much you should consume.  In this water lesson students study water and why it is important, how much you should drink and what its functions are in your body. 

Students understand the process of carbohydrate metabolism, and the chemical processes involved in this aspect of digestion.

This site provides information on carbohydrate metabolism regulation through a quiz set-up. Answer each question, and the correct answers will be presented, complete with a full tutorial.

Practice for the MCAT with these questions about carbohydrate metabolism.

Profiles of Carl and Gerty Corbi, American biochemists who studied how the human body metabolizes glucose. Their research advanced treatments for diabetes, and won them a Nobel Prize in 1947. Includes links to additional resources.

Practice for the MCAT by answering questions based on a scenario about a baby experiencing low blood sugar after eating.

You'll be introduced to carbohydrates in this Clinical Chemistry Carbohydrate Game.
