What are the effects of chemicals in food and drink on cellular function?
EFFECTS
Meaning : *
The observable changes or outcomes that result from a specific cause or intervention.*
Health Risks
Adverse health outcomes associated with exposure to chemicals in food and drink, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, or neurological disorders.
Disease:
Specific diseases or conditions that may be caused or exacerbated by exposure to chemicals in food and drink, such as diabetes, obesity, or allergies.
Short-term (acute) vs long-term (chronic) effects of exposure to chemicals in food and drink on cellular function.
Influences
Negative
Positive
Developmental Problems
:
Adverse effects on fetal or child development due to exposure to chemicals in food and drink, such as birth defects, cognitive impairment, or behavioral disorders.
CHEMICALS
Meaning:
Any substance that has a distinct molecular composition and properties, and can undergo chemical reactions or interactions with other substances.
Additives:
Substances added to food and drink to enhance flavor, texture, appearance, or shelf-life. Examples include sweeteners, colorings, emulsifiers, and stabilizers.
Preservatives:
Chemicals added to food and drink to prevent spoilage or bacterial growth. Examples include nitrates, sulfites, and benzoates.
Effects on the Body:
Suspends/Stops cellular respiration
Decreasing ATP synthesis production
inhibitors- block enzyme pathways
Vitamins and minerals, which are essential nutrients found in many foods, are chemicals that help support cellular functions and maintain overall health.
Some food additives, such as fortified vitamins and minerals added to cereals, can help address nutrient deficiencies in certain populations.
CELLULAR FUNCTIONS
Meaning:
processes and activities that occur within cells to maintain homeostasis, carry out metabolic processes, respond to external stimuli, and carry out specialized functions.
Metabolism:
The chemical processes that occur within cells to convert food and drink into energy and other molecules needed for growth and repair.
Oxidative Stress:
Imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body's ability to detoxify or repair the damage caused by them. This can lead to cell damage or death, and is thought to contribute to aging and disease.
DNA Damage:
Harmful changes or mutations to the genetic material (DNA) within cells, which can lead to cell death, abnormal growth, or cancer.
Inflammation:
Immune response to injury, infection, or irritation that involves the release of cytokines and other signaling molecules. Chronic inflammation can contribute to tissue damage, disease, and aging.
PROKARYOTIC VS EUKARYOTIC
FOOD AND DRINK
Meaning :
Any substance that is consumed by living organisms to provide energy, nutrients, and/or hydration.
