kilocalories, abbreviated kcal.
2 This is incorrect. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, the nutrients that
supply energy, are referred to as the energy nutrients.
3 This is incorrect. Energy exists in a variety of forms: electric, thermal

and his or her genes. These interactions can markedly influence digestion,
absorption, and elimination, as well as influence their sites of actions.
