ACTUAL QUESTION AND CORRECT DETAILED
VERIFIED ANSWERS FROM VERIFIED SOURCES BY
EXPERT RATED A GRADE.
Carbohydrate - ANSWERsimple sugars derived from sugar or honey, or complex
compounds cereals and potatoes
Protein - ANSWERA _________ molecule is composed of smaller structures called
amino acids.
are present in every cell, in enzymes, and in body secretions
Lipid - ANSWERare organic compounds that do not readily dissolve in water; based on
their solubility, they are classified into triglycerides (more commonly known as fats),
phospholipids, and sterols.
Fats Triglycerides - ANSWERare a group of chemical compounds that contain fatty
acids, often in very long strands, are the most concentrated source of energy in the diet
oils - ANSWERfats that are liquid at room temperture
minerals - ANSWERneeded by the body are calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur,
sodium, chloride, and magnesium, inorganic
vitamins - ANSWERorganic compounds required by every part of the body to maintain
health and prevent disease
organic compounds - ANSWERcompounds containing a carbon-hydrogen bond
inorganic compounds - ANSWERsimple compounds which contain carbon
cholesterol - ANSWERis used to build cell membranes and brain and other nervous
tissue. helps the body produce steroid hormones needed for the regulation of blood
sugar, salt and water balance, production of bile acids needed for digestion, and
reproduction.
Describe how minerals, vitamins and nutrients enable the proper functioning of the
human body. - ANSWERVitamins and minerals are considered essential nutrients—
because acting in concert, they perform hundreds of roles in the body. They help shore
up bones, heal wounds, and bolster your immune system. They also convert food into
energy, and repair cellular damage.
, What are antioxidants? and - ANSWERa substance that inhibits oxidation, especially
one used to counteract the deterioration of stored food products.
Carbohydrate calorie - ANSWER4 calories per gram of carbohydrate
Protein calorie - ANSWER4 calories per gram
Fat calorie - ANSWER9 calories per gram
Saturated fat - ANSWERfatty acid chains have all or predominantly single bonds. A fat
is made of two kinds of smaller molecules: glycerol and fatty acids. Fats are made of
long chains of carbon atoms
Unsaturated fat - ANSWERfat or fatty acid in which there is at least one double bond
within the fatty acid chain. A fatty acid chain is monounsaturated if it contains one
double bond, and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond
Cholesterol measurement - ANSWERmilligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) of blood
desirable total level is below 200 mg/dL
Minerals and body function - ANSWERform body parts: bones teeth
regulators by contribution to the water and electrolyte balance of the body
transmission of nerve impulses
normal rhythm in the heartbeat
Sodium daily recommendation - ANSWERless than 2.4g (2400 mg)
How do antioxidants aid in the proper functioning of the human body? - ANSWERact as
scavengers by binding to free radicals, thus preventing them from causing damage may
have cooperative effects to alter, reverse, or forestall the negative effects of aging
Explain how economic, personal, and lifestyle factors can influence nutritional habits. -
ANSWERInflation of food prices
personal preferences and lifestyles
physical inactivity
largest meal of the day consumed at night
Explain the different types of lipids and why it is important to be aware of the types of
fats consumed in a diet. - ANSWER1. Triglycerides are lipids you obtain from food
sources of fat, such as cooking oils, butter and animal fat. Triglycerides provide
insulation that keeps you warm while protecting your internal organs with a layer of
padding.
2. Steroids are a type of lipid that includes hormones and cholesterol
