Which provide the energy that your body uses macronutrients or micronutrients?
micronutrients
Do macronutrients and micronutrients help regulate the body's processes?
micronutrients regulate the body process?
Are all macronutrients you consume used for the same thing in the body?
All macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fats) can be used to supply the body with energy. However, carbohydrates are the body's primary energy source. Fats are involved in roles such as insulating the body and helping the body make use of certain vitamins. The role of proteins includes supporting tissues and cells, transporting nutrients and contributing to immune response.
What are the Similiarties between macronutrients and micronutrients?
Both are essential for the function and development of the body.
Why do you need more macronutrients?
You need more macronutrients.
How does hunger start?
Hunger is the desire for food. We need food to make energy. Complicated proccesses in our digestive systems break down the food we eat and remove the macronutrients. The macronutrients are used to make energy for our muscles to use. If there is no food, there are no nutrients and no energy. When you are hungry, your body is "telling" you that you need to eat.
What are the only macronutrients that can be metabolized anaerobically?
The macronutrients of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids can be metabolized, or broken down, for ATP production within the human body. ATP, which stands for adenosine triphosphate, is the process of converting energy back to its original source, in this case, the human body.
What order does the body prefer to burn the macronutrients?
Its breaks the food down to your cell then your cell combust it to energy
What macronutrients can produce ATP in the body?
protein, carbs, and lipids
Define food in terms of science?
Food is anything that nourishes the body to sustain life, provide energy, promote growth, etc. The body uses chemical processes to break down those foods into macronutrients and micronutrients. A macronutrient would be a protein or a carbohydrate, and micronutrients would be an amino acid or glucose (what the macronutrients get broken down into). Those nutrients go through cycles in the body (such as the Krebs cycle) to transform those nutrients into energy in the form of ATP that the body can use.
