14. Some examples Carbohydrates, Lipids/fats, proteins, vitamins
of organic nutri-
ents include:
15. Some examples Water, minerals
of inorganic nu-
trients include:
16. Energy nutrients Has calories and provide energy for our body
17. Non-energy nu- do not directly give us calories but are extremely important for us to extract calories
trients from nutrients
18. Examples of en- Carbs, lipids, protein and alcohol. Alcohol only provides energy/calories
ergy nutrients
19. Examples of Vitamins, minerals, water
non-energy nu-
trients
20. Macronutrients Body needs large amounts of these nutrients daily

25. Fiber Does not give us energy due to the bacteria in our stomachs that can gather some
amounts of energy from fiber but not much.
26. Lipids Source of energy (fats); cellular development; physical growth and development;
regulation of body processes; absorption of fat-soluble vitamins
27. Proteins Does not give us much energy. Production of structural and functional compo-
nents; cellular development, growth, maintenance; regulation of body processes;
immune function; fluid balance and source of energy.
- Proteins are found in muscle mass and our body does not want to derive energy
from our muscles
- in extreme situations, our body will derive energy from muscles is it absolutely
has to
28. Vitamins Regulation of body processes, maintenance of immune function, production
and maintenance of tissues; necessary for physical growth, maintenance and
development
29. Examples of vita- Salt, magnesium, potassium
mins
30. Water Maintenance of fluid balance, regulation of body temperature (sweat), elim-
ination of wastes, transportation of substances, participant in many chemical
reactions
- Even though it doesn't provide nutrients, it plays an important role in our
everyday health
31. Cells The smallest living functional unit in an organism
32. Cells require Nutrients
___to function
properly
33. Metabolism
, Introduction to Nutrition Exam 1
Study online at https://quizlet.com/_62v448
The sum reaction of all chemical reactions occurring in the body's cells
- metabolism is how efficient we are at storing calories, burning them and storing
them
34. What do we call Calories: actually kilocalories (1000 calories)
the measure of
the energy con-
tent of food?
35. What is the kcal 4kcal/gram
content of carbs?
36. What is the kcal 4kcal/gram
content of pro-
tein?
37. What is the 9kcal/gram
kcal content of
Lipids(fat)?
38. What is the kcal 7kcal/gram
content of alco-
hol?
39. What is an essen- Nutrients that cannot be made in sufficient quantity by the body alone and must
tial nutrient? be consumed
40. What happens If these nutrients are not consumed, a deficiency disease is the result of an
when essential essential nutrient missing from the diet
nutrients are
missing from the
diet?
