Macronutrients
Macronutrients include protein, carbohydrates, and fats. They provide energy and structure for living organisms. Many human diets are based on macronutrients. Examples include high-protein diets, low-carb diets, and low-fat diets.

What is the energy value of macro-nutrients for fat protein carbohydrates and alcohol are?
1g of fat = 9 calories
1g of alcohol = 7 calories
1g of protein = 4 calories
1g of cabohydrates = 4 calories
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.
Which three elements are plant macronutrients needed in only moderate amounts?
nitrogen,carbon,and,sulfur
Does Burnt soil still have macronutrients?
Yes, it does. The soil tries to fulfill the needs to make new soil.
Are villi's hairlike extensions that sweep impurities out of the respiratory tract?
No. Villi help to absorb nutrients.
Make a list of macronutrients and mention their major functions?
For animals, the macronutrients are those foods that are important in energy production -- carbohydrates, proteins and fats.For plants the macronutrients are divided into 3 classes. Under structural components are carbon, oxygen and hydrogen -- they are important in providing energy for the plant. The primary minerals are important in the plant structure and are potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen. The secondary minerals are calcium, sulfur and magnesium. These aide in the life processes of the plant.
What element is present in proteins but not found in other macronutrients?
Sulfur and phosphate are found in proteins and not in other macronutrient.
What is a macro instruction argument?
The macro facility presented thus far capable of inserting blocks of instruction in place of macro calls. All of the calls to any given macro will be replaced by identical blocks. This macro facility lacks flexibility: there is no way for a specific macro call to modify the coding that replaces it. An important extension of this facility consists of providing for arguments, or parameters, in macro calls.
Corresponding macro dummy arguments will appear in macro definitions.

DATA 1 DC F '5'
DATA 1 DC F '10'
In this case the sequence are very similar but not identical. The first sequence performs an operation using DATA1 as operand; the second perform using DATA2. They can be considered to perform the same operation with a variable parameter or argument. Such a parameter is called a macro instruction argument, or dummy argument. It specified on the macro name line and distinguish by the ampersand which always its first character
Which macro nutrient is the major source of energy for cell processes?
Sugar is used by cells and is the preferred source of energy. The human body is best suited for glucose, however, other sugars will be used for energy as well. If something is composed of complex carbohydrates it will be broken down into simple sugars and absorbed by the body.

Can malnutrition cause mental health problems?
There are a variety of mental health problems that can be linked to particular vitamin deficiencies. An example of this would be a B12 deficit which can cause disorganized thinking, depression, and more. Malnutrition itself, if deliberate, can be a sign of a mental disorder as in the case of Anorexia, or Bulimia.
Characteristic of metabolism of specific macronutrients?
The rate of fat oxidation does not change when fat is eaten in excess
The macro-nutrients are carbohydrates, fats, and protein, which we need in relatively large amounts. They provide the structural material of cells, as well as energy (calories).
