2. what makes a nutrient organ- If the nutrient contains carbon atoms
ic? name them Ex. Carbs, fats, proteins, and vitamins
3. Differentiate between the *carbs supply glucose
three energy nutrients: carbo- *fats cushion organs and insulate
hydrate, *proteins provide growth and maintance of muscle,tissue,
protein, and fat. and organs, making hormones, enzymes, and antibodies,and
transporting other nutrients
4. macronutrients carbs,fats, and proteins
5. micronutrients vitamins and minerals
6. Describe phytochemicals and non-nutrient compounds that contribute to health and may
their food sources. play a role in fighting chronic diseases, they help prevent
lycopene and prostate cancer, and they are found in plants
7. Calculate the calorie content of carbs and protein= 4kcal/g
a food based on the grams of alcohol=7kcal/g
carbohydrate, protein, and fat. fats=9kcal/g
8. Understand the important minerals and vitamins are essential for metabolism and assist
roles that vitamins, minerals, enzymes in speeding up chemical reactions and make co en-

*part of fluid medium in and out of cell
*helps chemical reactions
*transports nutrients and oxygen
*helps maintain body temp
lubricants for joints, eyes, mouth, intestinal tracts
*protective cushion for organs
9. Understand the scientific Scientific method: process used by scientists to generate
method that is involved in nu- sound research findings
trition research. Step 1: observe, ask questions, and formulate a hypothesis
(idea based on observation)
Step 2: conduct an experiment to test the hypothesis
Step 3: share findings in a peer-reviewed journal (research
publication for scientists)
10. observational research involves looking at two factors in two or more groups
11. experimental research involves at least two groups of subject
*experimental group: given a specific treatment
* control group: given a placebo "sugar pill"
*doubled-blind placebo controlled experiments is " gold
standard" (neither scientist or subject know which group gets
treatment
12. who to trust Nutrition experts
*registered dietitian (RD)
*public health nutritionist
* Licensed Dietitian (LD)

3.What is the purpose of the site?
4.Where does the information come from?
