  4. Micromutrients Vitamins Minerals

  5. Carbohydrates • Organic compounds include sugar & starches • Two Types • - Complex Carbohydrates • - Simple Carbohydrates • - Glucose in the most commonly used for energy

  6. Proteins • There function is building more protein • Supplying energy • Supplying essential amino acids

  7. Lipids • Organic compounds • Include fats, oils, and fat substances • Supply energy for cellular process • Help builds structures of cell membranes

  8. Vitamins Organic compounds that are essential for metabolic process. Fat Soluble vitamins Water Soluble vitamins

  9. FatSolubleVitamins A D E K Dissolved in fats and are influenced by lipids Stored in tissues

  10. Vitamin A • Stored in liver • Visual pigment • Needed for bones & teeth • In fish, eggs, milk, and butter

  16. Minerals Are inorganic elements that are essential in human metabolism Extracted from the soil by plants Most concentrated in bones and teeth

  17. Calcium & Phosphorus Found in teeth and bones Important roles in nearly all metabolic reactions Essential for nerve impulse conduction, Muscle contraction, & blood coagulation.

  18. Iron Function - enables hemoglobin in RBC to carry oxygen Most abundant in the blood Deficiency causes : Iron Deficiency Anemia
