What else can I help you with?
what are foods broken down chemically with the aid of?
Foods are broken down chemically with the aid of enzymes. Enzymes help to break down complex molecules in food into simpler molecules that can be absorbed by the body for energy and nutrients. This process occurs during digestion in the stomach and intestines.
What is the amount of energy released when nutrients are burned?
The amount of energy released when nutrients are burned can vary depending on the type of nutrient. On average, one gram of carbohydrate releases about 4 kilocalories of energy, one gram of protein releases about 4 kilocalories, and one gram of fat releases about 9 kilocalories. This energy is utilized by the body for various functions such as metabolism, physical activity, and maintaining body temperature.
What do you already know about ATP and its role in cellular energy production?
ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is a molecule that stores and transfers energy within cells. It is often referred to as the "energy currency" of the cell. ATP is produced during cellular respiration, a process that converts nutrients into energy. This energy is then used for various cellular activities, such as muscle contraction, protein synthesis, and active transport.
What nutrients give energy but also contain nitrogen?
Proteins are nutrients that provide energy and contain nitrogen. When broken down during metabolism, proteins release energy that can be used by the body.
What is the element that has a high ionization energy and tends to be chemically inactive would most likely be?
Helium would be the element that fits this description. It has a high ionization energy, meaning it requires a lot of energy to remove an electron, and tends to be chemically inactive because its outer electron shell is full.
How does protein differ from other energy nutrients?
carbon
What does digestion give off energy from?
From chemically burning the nutrients.
Is protein high in energy and nutrients?
yes.
What are energy producing nutrients?
Protein and fat
What energy nutrients are available in between meals?
Carbohydrates, Protein, and Fat
Substances in foods that provide energy and materials for cell development growth and repair?
Nutrients are the substance in foods that the body needs to promote growth and repair body, tissues, and to get energy. The body needs nutrients including protein to regulate bodily functions.
Why is total digestible nutrients most closely associated with digestible energy?
Because that's where you get the energy from, is the nutrients that is in the feed, hence the TDN that is found in the feed which includes such nutrients as protein, carbohydrates, and fat.
When energy yielding nutrients are consumed in excess which one can lead to storage of fat?
Calorie containing nutrients--fats, carbohydrates, and protein, are stored as fat if not used as energy by the body.
Which of the 6 classes of nutrients yield energy?
Carbohydrates are the main energy source. Without carbohydrates, the body could not function properly. Other essential nutrients include: proteins, fat, vitamins, minerals and water.
What is active absorption?
requires the input of energy and a carrier protein to move nutrients across a concentration gradient
What nutrients are in ready salted crisps?
560kj energy 1.5g protein 12.4g carbs fat 8.5g
Nutrients that supplies energy?
Although the body is able to use energy also from fat and protein, the most preffered nutrient for energy production in the body are carbohydrates.
