| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| villi | little fingerlike projections in the smalll intestine that absorb nutrients from the chyme mixture |
| RDA | this liquid is needed to help transport materials from and to cells and also participate in many chemical reactions |
| pancreas | the organ in your body that gets worn out or fails to secrete enough juice when eat too many carbs or sugary food |
| malnutrition | faulty or inadequate nutrition |
| anemia | dont get enough iron ; characterized by lack of enery,weekeness short of breath,cold hands and feet |

| chyme | churned food into thick liquid, |
| glycogen | the storage form of glucose |
| calorie | the anount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water 1 degree celcius. |
| glucose | when carefully broken down carbohydrates become simple sugars that our bodies need;blood sugar |
| basal metabolism | the minimum amount of energy you need to maintain these processes in the body |
| oxidation | when glucose in the cells combines with oxygen to produce anergy and heat |
| metabolism | living cells use nutrients in many chemical reactions that provide energy for vital processes and activities |
| carbohydrates | these nutrients provide a quick way to burn for energy of any other nutrient |
| fats | provide a consontrated source of stored energy as well as insulation for the body |
| vitamins | these are needed in small amounts but they help regulate many vital processes |
| minerals | these help the body work properly |
