what are the effects of chemicals in food and drinks on cellular function
storage method of food and drink
refrigerate
decreasing temperature
secure plastic containers
microplastic could damaged the cell
aluminum foil
increasing humidity from the steam of food
cartoon
increase temperature and humidity
glassware
indirect impact the surrounding environment of food and drink: increasing temperature
using cling wrap
prevent oxygen from entering
vacuum seal.
preventing air contamination
method of chemicals enter cells
simple diffusion
facilitated diffusion
active transport
endocytosis
method of those chemical would disrupt or affect cellular function
causing oxidative stress
explanation: oxidative stress is cause by free radical releasing which could cause by overconsuming chemical from food and drink, typically high in carbohydrate and fat such as sweets or soft drink. (Pizzino et al. 2017)
changing the DNA sequence/causing mutation
bind to active site of enzyme
bind to receptor on cell membrane, altered cellular communication
cellular function available in cell
cell division
transportation of ions
protein synthesis
communication via glycoprotein
Binding to receptors that would signal various messages throughout cell
respiration
maintaining homeostasis
Maintaining homeostasis is done in many ways. One of them is controlling chemical concentration inside and outside of the cell, by secreting and absorbing chemical surrounding. Homeostasis is important as it allows cells to retain it's identity(Homeostasis 2023)
cells growth
reasons chemical essential in cell
glucose is needed for aerobic respitation
nitrogen needed to form DNA bases
Animo acid is used for protein synthesis
lipid for building cell membrane
chemical available in drink
caffeine
inhibitor of receptors
pigments (or food colouring)
changing the color of the cell when move into the cell
glucose (sugar)
ingredient for aerobic respiration
vitamin
is it a co factor of the enzyme in cell
amino acid ( in some energy drinks)
used for building protein
ethanol (in alcoholic drinks)
dissolved the cell membrane (Patra et al. 2006)
chemical available in food
heavy metal (mercury in some fish)
an over consuming of heavy metal could be toxic to the cell, such as slowing down cell growth, and initiating apoptosis.
protein
using for building enzyme and receptors, alongside with using for many other function on other types of cell
salt (NaCl)
used for control of osmosis
carbohydrate
is is a group of macromolecule which the main role in cell is to providing essential energy for cell to grow
MSG (monosodium glutamine)
It is used for cell communication as there are receptors available for MSG on lymphocytes, thymocytes and thymic stromal cells
fat
used for cell membrane construction, and is an important energy reverse.
mineral (calcium, phosphorus,magnesium)
Mineral are essential for enzyme activation.
