El cuerpo humano, la maquina que no descansa

  Abstract. This project will look at the physical, chemical and mathematical phenomenon in the digestion of each food and how they relate to each other. Below is a brief summary of the topics that will be seen in this project. To begin with, in the physical field we talk about kilocalories and calories, the difference between them, what they are and what their process is. The kilocalorie is a variant to measure in kilograms, it indicates the amount of energy that can be given to an organism; A calorie is a unit of measurement, but it does not measure weight or length, it measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. Well, basically, if we talk about energy provided by food, the correct thing would be to express it in kilocalories (kcal) but calories (cal) are based on smaller amounts. Metabolism is the process by which your body converts what you eat and drink into energy. During this complex process, the calories provided by f...

  Physical property and its relationship to chemistry. Energy is one of the most important concepts on the planet, it can be better understood in the context of matter (everything that possesses mass and occupies space). Thus, energy is defined as the ability to perform work, which is any change in the state or movement of matter. Physicists usually express energy in units of work, kilojoules (kJ). It can also be expressed in units of heat energy – kilocalories (kcal) – the thermal energy flowing from one object with a higher temperature to another with a lower temperature. Heat energy cannot perform cellular work, because a cell is too small to have zones with different temperatures. For that reason, the unit preferred by most biologists today is the kilojoule. CALORIE It is the unit of measurement of the energy that the human body needs to be able to carry out the different functions of the day, it is supplied by the food we consume, and these foods are obtain...

To begin we will give a small introduction into what digestion is, what its function is and how it has a relationship with chemistry.  Digestion is a process by which food and drink are broken down into smaller parts so that the body can use them to create and nourish cells and to provide energy. The digestive system works as the mixing of food, the movement of food through the digestive tract. This chemical process begins in the mouth when saliva begins to break down food and continues in the stomach when enzymes digest food. Metabolism is the chemical process that digestion has in biochemical reactions and physicochemical processes that occur in a cell and in the organism to produce energy in the body and it fulfills all its vital functions. This acts after eating food, our digestive system uses enzymes to: degrading (breaking down) proteins into amino acids convert fats into fatty acids transform carbohydrates into simple sugars (e.g. glucose) The process of metabolism in...

Mathematical Part in Chemical Phenomenon Basal metabolism is the minimum value of energy that the cell needs to survive, when we talk about Basal Metabolic Rate (MBT), it refers to the minimum amount of energy that a person needs, in a state of rest, to carry out those vital functions necessary for the proper functioning of the organism. For example, the beating of the heart, breathing or the regulation of body temperature. (Centro de Ergodinamica S.L., s.f.) Macronutrients are those substances that provide energy to the body for proper functioning, and other elements necessary to repair and build organic structures, to promote growth and to regulate metabolic processes, macronutrients are constituted by: Proteins, fats and carbohydrates. (Julia Alvarez, 2020) Proteins. Proteins are molecules made up of amino acids that are linked by a type of bonds known as peptide bonds. The order and arrangement of amino acids depend on the genetic code of each person. All proteins are composed of...

  Playful strategies are activities that include educational games, group dynamics, use of dramas, board games, etc., these tools are used by teachers to reinforce the learning, knowledge and skills of students inside or outside the classroom. For this project, we chose as a playful section, the creation of a alphabet soup, about the chemical phenomenon chosen "The digestion of food". The playful section will be made up of key words, so that it is possible to understand and memorize the chemical phenomenon present in everyday life.
