Macronutrients‚ Oxidation and Energy Fats‚ carbohydrates and proteins are regarded as macronutrients because the body usually extracts other nutrients from them. In addition to supporting body growth‚ development and repair‚ macronutrients give us energy. This energy is measured in calories. When fat‚ carbohydrate and protein undergo oxidation‚ carbon-dioxide‚ water and

The aim of the experiment was to examine the effects that having a rich lipid diet had on the CHO and fat metabolism during the prolonged exercise. The data shows that at rest the body was in a heavy fat metabolism and when exercise started there was a shift of metabolism from fat to CHO. After thirty minutes‚ the metabolism shifted back to a primary metabolism of fat. Examining the data from this experiment to other studies showed a similar result.

Food Intake and Analysis SCI/220 June 24‚ 2013 Laura Ross Food Intake and Analysis Food intake is a highly important aspect of everyday life that is often taken for granted. Many individuals eat only to fulfill their hunger‚ without consideration for the health or nutrient content contained within the foods he or she chooses. Scientist hypothesize that the human body remains in a recurrent hunger status‚ which is periodically satisfied by food intake. With this theory in mind it is easy

biogeochemical cycles. A nutrient is a chemical that organisms need to live and grow and are substances an organism’s uses for metabolism which must be taken in from its environment that enrich the organism. Two types of nutrients are macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients are needed in large quantities while micronutrients are needed in smaller quantities.

-How plants get liquid and minerals- Flowers absorb liquid through their roots‚ which are attached to xylem vessels. Xylem vessels are tubes that can expand through several feet of tissue and be .7mm in diameter. Their walls are thickened with cellulose deposits. Xylem bring water up to the leaves and petals of the plant. Even without contact with the roots‚ the xylem can still absorb water. Because of this‚ a cut flower usually doesn’t die for a couple days (as long as it is placed in water of

nutrients: carbohydrates‚ fats‚ minerals‚ protein‚ vitamins‚ and water. These nutrient classes can be categorized as either macronutrients (needed in relatively large amounts) or micronutrients (needed in smaller quantities). The macronutrients include carbohydrates (including fiber)‚ fats‚ protein‚ and water. The micronutrients are minerals and vitamins. The macronutrients (excluding fiber and water) provide structural material (amino acids from which proteins are built‚ and lipids from which cell

Three Days Food-Intake My daily diet should contain a balance of proteins‚ carbohydrates (carbs)‚ and lipids (collectively called macronutrients). According to Kirby (2011)‚ micronutrients are substances such as vitamins‚ and minerals that are essential for healthy growth and developments. The body only requires small quantities of micronutrients and without them serious problems can arise. The role of each micronutrient makes proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ and lipids equally important in my diet. Proteins
