This course is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of food, nutrients and how nutrients are digested, absorbed and used in the body. This course builds on previous content covered in Introduction to Nutrition, but will take a more physiological and biochemical approach to nutrition processes. We will outline complex metabolic pathways as well as functions of various micronutrients. In addition, we will find and utilize current scientific literature to write a review of a specific topic related to a nutrient. This information will then be used to create content appropriate to teach the general population about this topic. Prerequisites: NUTR 100 2 , CHEM 110 and ZOOL 251 . (Writing Requirement)
