● critical thinking starts with.... Answer: questioning the premise
● Data + Emotion =.... Answer: Response
● the study of human nutrition requires the integration of many sciences.
Answer: Social, Biological, Physical
● Most of the weight of the body is due to.... Answer: Water, Fat, Protein
● Nutrition helps to for and maintain. Answer: the shape and structure of
the body
● Proteins form.... Answer: ligaments and tendons that hold bones
together and attach muscles
● at cellular level, lipids and proteins... Answer: make up the membranes
that surround cells
● macronutrients and micronutrients. Answer: help the body to stay
heathy
,● Biochemical reactions in the body help to release... Answer: the
energy contained in carbohydrates, fats and proteins
● Energy is used to.... Answer: maintain body functions and fuel
physical work
● if more energy is consumed than is needed... Answer: over time body
weight will increase
● Nutrients can be assigned to 3 functional categories. Answer: those
that primarily provide energy, those that are important for growth and
development, and those that keep body functions running smoothly
● To be considered an essential nutrient, a substance must have these
characteristics... Answer: it has a specific biological function, removing
it leads to a decline in biological function, Returning it to the diet
reverses the damage and restores normal function
● Carbohydrates. Answer: are the body's mainsource of energy and
should be themajor part of total daily intake.
● simple carbohydrates. Answer: such as sugar or honey
,● complex carbohydrates. Answer: such as grains, beans, peas, or
potatoes
● Soluble fiber. Answer: type of fiber that dissolves in water.
● Insoluble fiber. Answer: does not dissolve in waterbecause it contains
high amount of cellulose
● Fat. Answer: Supplies energy and transports nutrients
● Protein. Answer: Supplies amino acids to build and maintainhealthy
body tissue.
● Vitamins. Answer: organic substances present in food and required by
the body in a small amount for regulation of metabolism and
maintenance of normal growth and functioning.
● Major minerals. Answer: are the minerals that the bodyneeds in large
amounts.
● Trace minerals. Answer: are needed only in tiny amounts.
, ● Water. Answer: Water helps to regulate body temperature, transports
nutrients and minerals to cells, rids the body of waste materials, essential
to all life processes.
● Nutrient Density. Answer: a measure of the nutrients food provides
compared to its energy content.
● A nutrient-dense diet. Answer: A nutrient-dense diet
● Metabolism. Answer: These enzyme-catalyzed reactions
alloworganisms to grow and reproduce, maintain theirstructures, and
respond to their environments.
● Anabolism. Answer: uses energy to construct components of cells
(requires energy)
● Catabolism. Answer: breaks down organic matter, for example, to
harvest energy (releases energy)
● Homeostasis. Answer: refers to any process that living things use to
actively maintain fairly stable conditions necessary for survival
● Enzymes. Answer: Are tiny helpers in the body that speed up reactions
by making it easier for them to happen.
