Antworten
-
water, carbohydrates and fats
-
water, carbohydrates, fats and minerals
-
water, carbohydrates, fats and proteins
-
water, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals
Frage 5
Frage
water is the most important nutrient because:
Antworten
-
every cell in the human body needs water
-
many of the body's processes including chemical reactions take place in water
-
water makes up the bulk of blood, extracellular fluid and other bodily fluids
-
water can be lost from the body when you sweat, in urine and with every breath you exhale
-
humans need at least 1 liter of fluid each day

Frage 14
Frage
proteins have a variety of roles in the body including:
Antworten
-
proteins supply raw materials for growth and repair of structures such as skin and muscle
-
many enzymes that control chemical chemistry by increasing the rates of chemical reactions are made of proteins
-
proteins have regulatory and transport functions (e.g., insulin is a protein that regulates blood sugar levels and hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells helps transport oxygen )
-
proteins can be used as energy sources when other nutrients such as carbohydrates are in short supplu
-
all of the above
Frage 15
Frage
proteins are polymers of amino acids
Frage 16
Frage
the body is able to synthesize 12 of the 20 amino acids used to make proteins and the other 8 are called essential amino acids
Frage 17
Frage
organic molecules that the body needs in very small amounts are called vitamins
Frage 18
Frage
most vitamins are needed by the body to help perform chemical reactions
Frage 19
Frage
there are two types of vitamins
Frage 20
Frage
these vitamins are fat soluble
Frage 21
Frage
water soluble vitamins include
Frage 22
Frage
fat soluble vitamins can build up small deposits of these vitamins for future use, but water soluble vitamins dissolve in water and cannot be stored in the body and therefore should be included in foods eaten each day
Frage 23
Frage
inorganic nutrients that the body needs usually in small amounts are called minerals
Frage 24
Frage
