Question

match the terms to their definition. 1. essential amino acids 2. essential nutrients 3. fat 4. fiber 5. free radicals 6. macronutrients these are the nine amino acids that the body cannot produce nutrients that the body cannot manufacture by itself a nutrient that is a potent source of energy for the body, the source of both good and bad cholesterol compounds with free electrons on the outer edge of their molecules nutrients that are needed in the greatest amounts by the human body a non - digestible form of carbohydrate generally found in plants

Explanation:

1. Essential amino acids: The body can't produce these nine amino acids, so match with "these are the nine amino acids that the body cannot produce".
2. Essential nutrients: These are nutrients the body can't make on its own, so match with "nutrients that the body cannot manufacture by itself".
3. Fat: It's a potent energy source and related to cholesterol, so match with "a nutrient that is a potent source of energy for the body, the source of both good and bad cholesterol".
4. Fiber: It's non - digestible carbohydrate from plants, so match with "a non - digestible form of carbohydrate generally found in plants".
5. Free radicals: They have free electrons on molecule edges, so match with "compounds with free electrons on the outer edge of their molecules".
6. Macronutrients: These are nutrients needed in large amounts by the body, so match with "nutrients that are needed in the greatest amounts by the human body".

Answer:

1. essential amino acids - these are the nine amino acids that the body cannot produce
2. essential nutrients - nutrients that the body cannot manufacture by itself
3. fat - a nutrient that is a potent source of energy for the body, the source of both good and bad cholesterol
4. fiber - a non - digestible form of carbohydrate generally found in plants
5. free radicals - compounds with free electrons on the outer edge of their molecules
6. macronutrients - nutrients that are needed in the greatest amounts by the human body
