|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| protein | essential for normal cell structure and function; nutrient found in food (as meat, milk, eggs, and beans) made of amino acids
🗑
|
||||
| carbohydrate | compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen produced by green plants in photosynthesis; sugars and starch
🗑
|
||||
| fat | complex molecules of fatty acids and glycerol; backup fuel source; needed for growth and energy and to create hormones and other substances
🗑
|
||||
| Calorie | a measurement of amount of energy in food. 1 Calorie raises temperature of 1 KG of water 1 degree Celsius.
🗑
|
||||
| cellular respiration | a chemical process in which cells extract energy from food; happens within mitochondria.
🗑
|
||||
| nutrient | a substance that provides nourishment essential for growth and the maintenance of life
🗑
|
||||
| complex carbohydrates | complex combinations of simple sugars: consist of three or more sugars. starches & fiber
🗑
|
||||
| food | any substance that people or animals eat or drink, or that plants absorb, in order to maintain life and growth
🗑
|
||||
| calories/gram | about 4 calories/gram in proteins and carbohydrates; 9 calories/gram in fats
🗑
|
||||
| vitamins & minerals | compounds and elements required by advanced animals in small amounts on a regular basis; do not provide calories
🗑
|
||||
| simple carbohydrates | simple sugars; molecules easily broken up for quick energy; (examples - glucose, fructose, galactose or lactose, sucrose, maltose.)
🗑
|
||||
| mitochondrion | the organelle in cells that converts glucose into energy
🗑
|
||||
| amino acids | the molecules that make proteins. These are broken down and are used to build new proteins.
🗑
|
||||
| enzymes | chemicals produced by the body that break down food
🗑
|
||||
| photosynthesis | the process done in chloroplasts in plant cells of making sugar from carbon dioxide and water, using energy from light; also releases oxygen
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
