1. Nutrition Is the study of food: how it affects the human body and influences health.
2. Metabolism Is the process by which the body converts food into energy. Good nutrition is
essential to wellness, and poor nutrition contributes to disease
3. Concepts related Energy balance, macronutrients, micronutrients, and factors that influence nutri-
to energy tional status.
4. Standards Are a reference for nutrient intake thought to meet the nutritional needs of most
healthy population groups.
5. True or False False

nutritional infor-

6. Food guides Are more practical tools that you can use to educate patients and families. They
specify the number of daily servings of foods needed so nonprofessionals can
use them in making healthful meal choices.
7. Micronutrients Carbohydrates, proteins, fats and fiber can lower the risk of chronic disease.
Manufacturing, repairing, and maintaining cells do not provide energy.

What are the two Anabolism and catabolism, occur continually and are adjusted according to the
types of metabol- needs of the body.
ic reactions?
19. Anabolism Involves the formation of larger molecules from smaller ones. For example, if
protein is needed for tissue repair, amino acids are recombined to form proteins.
This process requires energy.
20. Catabolism Involves the breakdown of larger molecules into smaller components. This
process releases energy.
21. Carbohydrates Are the primary energy source for the body. Convert to sugar to provide energy
(CHOs) to tissues.
22. Simple carbohy- Commonly called sugars, they are named according to the number of sugar (or
drates saccharide) units making up their chemical structure.
23. Monosaccha- Consist of a single unit.

Spare protein causes the body to catabolize stores of protein (gluconeogenesis) and lipids (fats)
to use for energy. However, when proteins are used for energy, they are not
available for their primary functions of tissue growth, maintenance, and repair.
Fats are then converted directly into an alternative fuel called ketones.
