Question

drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. match each nutrient to its primary function in the body. vitamins fats proteins carbohydrates act as antioxidants form structural components of the cell membrane provide a quick source of energy for cells and tissues form tissues, growth factors, and hormones

Explanation:

• Vitamins: Some vitamins (like vitamin C, E) act as antioxidants, protecting cells from damage.
• Fats: Lipids (fats) are a major component of cell membranes (phospholipids) and also store energy, but the "form structural components of the cell membrane" is a key role here.
• Proteins: Proteins are involved in forming tissues (like muscle tissue), growth factors, and hormones (like insulin is a protein hormone).
• Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates (like glucose) are the body's primary and quick source of energy for cells and tissues.

Answer:

• vitamins → act as antioxidants
• fats → form structural components of the cell membrane
• proteins → form tissues, growth factors, and hormones
• carbohydrates → provide a quick source of energy for cells and tissues
