match each nutrient class with its description.

carbohydrates
water
fats
vitamins
proteins

facilitate(s) normal growth and function, organic compound
store(s) calories for future use
build(s) and maintain(s) tissue
help(s) cleanse the body of toxins
provide(s) a major source of energy for the body

Explanation:

Identify nutrient classes

We have five nutrient classes listed on the left:

1. carbohydrates
2. water
3. fats
4. vitamins
5. proteins

Analyze descriptions

We have five descriptions listed on the right:

• "facilitate(s) normal growth and function; organic compound"
• "store(s) calories for future use"
• "build(s) and maintain(s) tissue"
• "help(s) cleanse the body of toxins"
• "provide(s) a major source of energy for the body"

Match each nutrient

• carbohydrates: These are the body's primary and most immediate source of energy. Thus, they match with "provide(s) a major source of energy for the body".
• water: Water is essential for hydration, waste elimination, and cellular processes, matching with "help(s) cleanse the body of toxins".
• fats: Fats are used for long-term energy storage, matching with "store(s) calories for future use".
• vitamins: These are organic micronutrients essential for regulating metabolic processes, matching with "facilitate(s) normal growth and function; organic compound".
• proteins: Proteins are the building blocks of the body, matching with "build(s) and maintain(s) tissue".

Answer:

Nutrient Class	Description
water	help(s) cleanse the body of toxins
fats	store(s) calories for future use
vitamins	facilitate(s) normal growth and function; organic compound
proteins	build(s) and maintain(s) tissue
