Describe the function of water in the body
What is water is an important dietary constituent that helps dissolve and eliminate wastes and maintain blood pressure and body temperature.
What is sugars that are composed of many subunits and arranged in branching chains. (Fruits, vegetables, bread, legumes, and pasta)
What is an example of processed food?
What is processed brown sugar.
What is an essential fatty acid?
What is fats that cannot be synthesized and ones which are obtained from the diet.
What are vitamins?
What is organic substances, most of which the body cannot synthesize.
What is a macronutrient? Give an example
What is processed food? Tell me a processed food you often eat.
What is one that has undergone extensive refinement and, in doing so, has been stripped of much of its nutritional value.
Crisps or chips
What is an essential amino acid?
What is proteins that your body cannot synthesize.
What is the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats?
What is if a carbon atoms being single or double bonded. Saturated fat is when the carbons of a fatty acid are bound to as many hydrogen bonds as possible the fat is called SF.Unsaturated fat is when there are carbon-to-carbon double bonds, the fat is not saturated in hydrogen.
What are the benefits of vitamins? Name two kinds.
What is help protect the body against cancer and heart disease and slow the aging process. Vitamin D and C
What is dehydration? What symptoms can you develop?

What is trans fat? Are the fatty acids flat or round, kinked or not kinked?
What is trans fat is produced by incomplete hydrogenation, which changes the structure of the fatty acid tails in the fat so that, even though there are carbon-carbon double bonds. Fatty acids are flat and not kinked.
What do free radicals do that is negative? What helps elimate the negative affects of free radicals?
What is free radicals can damage cell membranes, the lining of arteries, and DNA. Antioxidants can inhibit the chemical reactions that involve free radicals and decrease the damage they do in cells.
