Question
Answer
little fingerlike projections int eh small intestine that absorb nutrients from the chyme mixtrue   villi  
🗑
this liquid is needed to help transport materials to adn from cells. It also participates in many chemical reactions   water  
🗑
teh acronym for the amount of a nutrient needed by 98% of the people in a given age adn gender group   RDA  
🗑
teh organ in your body that gets worn out and fails to secrete enough juice wehn we eat too many cars adn sugary foods   pancreas  
🗑
these nutrients help build adn repair adn maintain body tissues   protein  
🗑
faulty or inadequate nutrition is said to be   manutrition  
🗑
when you dont get enough iron you can get this which is characterized by lack of energy, weakness, shorness of breath, adn cold hands and feet   anemia  
🗑
these help the body work properly   materials  
🗑
special proteins that help chemical reactions take place   enzymes  
🗑
churned food turns into a thick liquid during digestion   chyme  
🗑
these ar needed in small amounts but they help regulate many vital processes   vitamins  
🗑
teh storage form of glucose is called   glycogen  
🗑
the amount of energy needed to rais the tempetrue of 1km. of water 1degree Ccelsius: the measure of energy for our bodies   calorie  
🗑
when fully broken down, carbohydrtes become simple sugars that our bodies need is blood sugar or   glucose  
🗑
the minimum amount of energy you need to maintain these body processes in the body is   basal metabolism  
🗑
through this living cells use nutrients in many chemical reacitons that provide energy for vital processes and activities   metabolism
