What are the six nutrients?

Protien,fats,carbs,minerals,vitimans,water

What are micronutrients and macronutrients

Micronutrients are nutrients needed in small amounts,e.g minerals,vitimans. Macronutrients are nutrients needed In large amounts,e.g protien,carbs fats,

What is the elemental composition of protien?

Hydrogen,carbon,oxygen,nitrogen.

What is nitrogen needed for?

Protien is the only nutrient that contains nitrogen,this element is needed for the growth and repair of every cell in the body.

What is protien made up of?

Protien is made up of a chain of smaller units called amino acids. Amino acids are linked together by peptide links.

Enzymes are substances that help chemical reactions,during digestion enzymes break down the peptide links between amino acids.

(High biological value)Proteins that contain all or most of the essential amino acids,mostly found in animal sources e,g meat.

(Low biological value) proteins that do not contain many essential amino acids,commonly found in plant sources,e.g cereals (.the grain)

Name the animal sources of HBV protien

Meat,fish,eggs,yogurt,milk,cheese

Name the plant sources of HBV protien

Soya beans,meat alternatives e,g mycoprotien.

Name the sources of LBV protien

Peas,beans,lentils,nuts,cereals (the grain)

What are the functions of protien

Protien is needed for the growth and repair of all body cells (skin,tissue,blood,bones) production of important substances in body r.g hormones,enzymes,and antibodies that fight disease,it produces heat and energy

Name some protien deficiency symptoms

Poor or stunted growth,muscle loss,slow healing of wounds,hair breakage and loss,poor general health,hormonal and enzyme imbalances.
