Question

macronutrients? micronutrients? 9. can you complete the table below without your books or notes? size (macro or micro??) major class organic(contains c, h)) measure energy? macro carbohydrate organic grams 4 kcals / gm triglyceride (fat) protein vitamins minerals water

Explanation:

Macronutrients are needed in large amounts and provide energy. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are macronutrients. Carbohydrates are organic and measured in grams with 4 kcals/gm. Fats (triglycerides) are macronutrients, organic, measured in grams, and provide 9 kcals/gm. Proteins are macronutrients, organic, measured in grams, and provide 4 kcals/gm. Micronutrients are needed in small amounts. Vitamins are organic micronutrients, measured in milligrams or micrograms and do not provide energy directly. Minerals are inorganic micronutrients, measured in milligrams or micrograms and do not provide energy. Water is a micronutrient (in a sense of being needed in relatively small - compared to macronutrients - amounts in terms of daily requirements), is inorganic, measured in milliliters or liters and does not provide energy.

Answer:

Size (macro or micro??)	Major Class	Organic(contains C, H))	Measure	Energy?
macro	Protein	organic	grams	4 kcals / gm
micro	Vitamins	organic	mg or μg	no
micro	Minerals	inorganic	mg or μg	no
micro	Water	inorganic	ml or L	no
