Function of DNA
Stores genetic material
Highly-processed sugars, created in factories which strip away most/all healthy components of the macronutrient

Are all calories the same? Explain

List 2 of the 4 rules Spurlock followed during Super Size Me

Fats
Which film disclosed McDonald's marketing budget to be upwards of 1.4 billion dollars?
Super Size Me
Gives cells structure as well as boosting immunity

Carbs, Fats, Protein
What was the name of Morgan Spurlock's Chicken restaurant
Holy Chicken
Organic substances needed in small amounts for various bodily functions
Vitamins
What is fiber?
A plant substance not metabolized by humans, but gives energy/food source to good gut bacteria
Fats with 1 or more double bonds, often found in fish or plants
Unsaturated Fats
Explain Ketoacidosis
When the body has exhausted all sources of carb and fat energies, it moves onto protein. Your brain and organ systems cannot function properly as ketones are not as efficient in energy production compared to carbs/fats.
Which film discussed processed sugar as a "poison"?
Fed Up
Inorganic substances needed in small amounts for various bodily functions
Minerals
Describe how glucose is taken into the cells via the bloodstream
