| Major nutrients for the body? | Proteins, Carbohydrates, Minerals |
| What do provitamins do? | Building blocks of vitamins |
| Fat-soluble vitamin? | Vitamin E |
| What can antioxidant vitamins do? | Can inactivate oxygen free radicals |
| Chemical reactions that break down complex organic molecules into simpler ones are called | Catabolism |
| When the terminal phosphate is cut off ATP what is formed? | Adenosine diphosphate |

| What pancreatic hormone stimulates the breakdown of glycogen into glucose? | Glucagon |
| What is gluconeogenesis? | Reactions in the liver that form glucose from noncarbohydrate sources |
| Most glucose that enters the liver is converted to which compound | Glycogen |
| Splitting triglycerides for ATP is called | Lipolysis |
| Lipogenesis or the synthesis of triglycerides, occurs when | More calories are consumed than required for ATP need |
