Assignment Detail:- NUTR2001 Human Nutrition
Assessment - Part A, Report Plan
Learning Outcome 1: Describe and distinguish the complex nature of human digestion with specific reference to macronutrient absorption
Learning Outcome 2: Define and discuss the structure of the macronutrients and their biological role in human metabolism
Learning Outcome 3: List and recall recommended intakes and dietary sources of the various macronutrients
Learning Outcome 4: Demonstrate an understanding of the contributing factors that may lead to states of excess, insufficiency or deficiency of macronutrients
Learning Outcome 5: Recognise and interpret signs and symptoms associated with states of excess, insufficiency or deficiency of macronutrients
Context:
This assessment is aimed at developing the student's understanding of the macronutrients and the role they play in human metabolism-

Macronutrients:• Protein• Carbohydrates• Lipids
The final report -Assessment 2 Part B- is due for submission at the end of Module 5-2 -week10- and should include the following:• The composition of the macronutrients• The biological functions• Dietary sources• Recommended Daily Intake -RDI-• Factors contributing to states of excess
• Factors contributing to states of insufficiency and deficiency• Signs and symptoms
Information may be sourced from primary, secondary and tertiary sources:• Primary sources: original research articles, systematic reviews and meta-analysis from high quality journals, peer reviewed journals-• Secondary sources: general review articles, summaries, abstracts of primary source articles-• Tertiary sources: recognised, authoritative textbooksReferencing:
