What is the difference between vitamins and minerals?
Vitamins: organic (living things) substances that regulate body processes like digestion, metabolism, and absorption. There’s two types of vitamins: water soluble: dissolves in water vitamins B (metabolism, vision, cell growth, building protein) C (fighting infections) Fat soluble: stored in fat, not soluble Vitamins A (skin, hair, tissue, cell growth), D (bone, teeth), E (protects red blood cells), K (blood clotting, protein synthesis) Minerals: inorganic (non-living) substances that regulate vital body processes like: - formation of bones and teeth (calcium, phosphate, and magnesium) -production of red blood cells (iron and copper) -maintain water balance ( sodium and potassium) Sodium: maintains blood pressure, muscle/nerve function. Too much sodium can cause heart/blood pressure issues Calcium: strengthens bones and teeth, blood clotting, nervous system Iron: formation of hemoglobin which carries O2 to cells Low: anemia
61
What is the difference between the two types of digestion? Be sure to include what they are and use specific examples in the body
Mechanical digestion: physical breakdown of food by making it into smaller pieces. This happens in the mouth, stomach. It happens in the mouth by (biting, chewing) and stomach (muscular churning) Chemical digestion: turning food into particles so small that they can be absorbed by bloodstream. This happens in the mouth, stomach and intestines. This also involves enzymes and digestive juices. Enzymes are proteins that build up at the rate of biological reactions without being used as a reaction.

Cancer (uterine, kidney, stomach, colon, breast) because too much fat can cause hormones to grow, which can tell cells to divide too much, causing cancer Infertility because excess weight can cause an impact on ovulation Stroke because excess height can cause high blood pressure Heart diseases because arteries can be blocked from fat
