Question

ple choice question
tem refers to nutrients that the body needs but is incapable of synthesizing in adequate amounts?

essential nutrients

rdas

enzymes

empty calories

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "Essential nutrients" are defined as nutrients the body needs but can't make in sufficient quantities, so this matches the question's description.
• "RDAs" (Recommended Dietary Allowances) are guidelines for nutrient intake, not the nutrients themselves.
• "Enzymes" are proteins that speed up chemical reactions, not nutrients the body can't synthesize enough of.
• "Empty calories" refer to calories from low - nutrient foods, not related to the body's synthesis of nutrients.

Answer:

A. Essential nutrients
