Chapter 11 Opening Video
This video sets the stage for what students will learn about food and nutrition in Chapter 11.
Overeating
This ACS Reactions video explains what happens when you eat too much.
Esterification Content
This simulation will allow students to investigate esterification. It helps students understand equation 11.1b.
3D Model of Stearic Acid
See a 3D rendering of stearic acid, illustrated in Figure 11.4.
3D Model of Glycerol
See a 3D rendering of glycerol, illustrated in Figure 11.5.
3D Model of Linoleic Acid
See a 3D rendering of linoleic acid, illustrated in Figure 11.6.
3D Model of Linolenic Acid
See a 3D rendering of linolenic acid, illustrated in Figure 11.6.
Fatty Acid Content
This simulation will allow students to investigate an unknown oil based on its fatty acid content. It helps students understand the graph in Figure 11.7.
Hydrogenation
This simulation allows students to investigate hydrogenation.
Olive Oil
This ACS Reactions video talks all about olive oil.
3D Model of Oleic Acid
See a 3D rendering of oleic acid (a cis fatty acid), illustrated in Figure 11.8.
3D Model of Elaidic Acid
See a 3D rendering of elaidic acid (a trans fatty acid), illustrated in Figure 11.8.
Measuring Fat
This video explains the procedure to investigate how much fat is in food.
3D Model of α-Glucose
See a 3D rendering of α-glucose, illustrated in Figure 11.11.
3D Model of β-Glucose
See a 3D rendering of β-glucose, illustrated in Figure 11.11.
What's the Difference?
This ACS Reactions video explains the different between high-fructose corn syrup and sugar.
3D Model of Sucrose
See a 3D rendering of sucrose, illustrated in Figure 11.13.
3D Model of Starch
See a 3D rendering of starch, illustrated in Figure 11.14.
3D Model of Cellulose
See a 3D rendering of cellulose, illustrated in Figure 11.14.
Protein Structure
This simulation allows students to combine amino acids (illustrated in Figure 11.17) to see the resulting protein from the combination.
3D Protein Structures
This simulation allows students to combine amino acids to create proteins.
Muscle & Protein
This ACS Reactions video explains how protein builds muscle.
Aspartame
This ACS Reactions video investigates whether it is safe to ingest aspartame.
Vitamin Supplements
This ACS Reactions video examines the effectiveness of vitamin supplements.
Iron in Cereal
This video from Flinn Scientific show students a procedure that isolates iron from food.
Salt Content in Food
This video walks students through a procedure that will allow them to measure the salt content in food.
Eating and Exercise
This PhET simulation allows students to explore the relationship between diet, exercise, and weight.
Water and Food
This interactive simulation allows students to calculate their food water footprint.
Vertical Farming
This ACS Reactions video explains vertical farming and will help answer Your Turn 11.36.
