Draw a flow chart to explain the three metabolic processes of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) and oxidative phosphorylation. Include other ways the body breaks down nutrients into usable products together with the process of lipolysis and how triglycerides are stored and used in the body; protease enzymes in breaking down proteins; deamination of amino acids and how ammonia is converted to urea.

Y N Title of Access to HE Diploma: Access to Nursing and Health Science Unit title: Nutrition, Digestion and Excretion Unit code: CBB326 (6 credits) Learner: Owusu Kwame Tutor/Assessor: · Ann Francis Description of Assignment: Task 1 (AC 1.1, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4) Review the attached case study. a) Write a letter to Mrs Smith explaining the importance of good nutrition for optimum health, ensuring that you distinguish the varying functions of the main nutrient groups. In your letter you should also explain to Mrs Smith why she might need to take supplements of vitamins and minerals and the need to drink a suitable amount of water for her weight. The letter should be around 700 words (+/- 10%). b) Attach a one day diet plan for her and, in the space below the table, explain how the body uses carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water. Evaluate each meal in your chart by showing its nutritional content. Use the food plate chart to help you. c) In the chart provided, evaluate through comparisons the three disorders that are caused as a result of malnutrition, specifically calcium and vitamin D deficiency (rickets, tetany and osteoporosis). Your letter should follow formal letter writing conventions (e.g. address, formal greeting, paragraphs and ending). All parts of the task should be referenced in-text using the Harvard system and you will need to attach a reference list separately to cover all three parts of Task 1. Task 1 maximin word count: 1300 Task 2 (AC 3.1, 3.2) Produce an explanatory leaflet for an Access to HE learner on another course who does not understand how the digestive system works. In it, you will need to describe the main organs involved in digestion and then explain their function in relation to the digestion of food. You will need to reference your work in-text and attach a reference list using the Harvard System. You may use images or your own drawings in your leaflet to illustrate and support your own explanations, do not use them instead of your own explanations. Ensure that you acknowledge the source of the images. You should write in an academic tone using the 3rd person, avoid the use of the 1st and 2nd person (I or you). c) Task 2 maximin word count: 700 Task 3 (AC 4.1) Draw a flow chart to explain the three metabolic processes of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) and oxidative phosphorylation. Include other ways the body breaks down nutrients into usable products together with the process of lipolysis and how triglycerides are stored and used in the body; protease enzymes in breaking down proteins; deamination of amino acids and how ammonia is converted to urea. Task 3 maximin word count: 1000 Task 4 (AC 5.1, 5.2, 5.3) a) Describe in detail the gross and ultrastructure of the liver. You should include diagrams/images to illustrate your answer. The liver has many different important roles within the body. Two of its key roles are in the removal of nitrogenous waste and removal of toxins that may be in the body. a) Explain how the liver is involved in the removal of nitrogenous waste from the body b) Explain how alcohol is detoxified by the liver. Compare and contrast the two types of liver damage resulting from alcohol and drug abuse. Task 4 maximin word count: 700 Task 5 (AC 6.1, 6.2, 6.3) End of Unit Test (‘open book’) of 1½ hours’ duration on the structure and role of the kidneys in excretion. ‘You are permitted to bring in notes to refer to during the exam. These can be hand-written or typed, maximum 2 sides of A4 paper. You will hand in your notes with your answer paper at the end of the exam.’ The exam will take place on w/b 17th January 2022. If you require extra time or other assistance for the exam, this should be brought to the attention of your tutor by 30th November 2021 so that the request can be considered and, if agreed, suitable arrangements made.
