Answer 6

To help you organize the definitions with their corresponding terms, here’s a list of the terms along with their definitions. You can use this guide to drag the definitions to the correct terms.

1. **Calorie**: A unit of energy that measures how much energy food provides to the body.

2. **Water**: A vital nutrient that is essential for all bodily functions, including hydration, digestion, and temperature regulation.

3. **Carbohydrate**: A macronutrient that provides the body with energy; it includes sugars, starches, and fiber.

4. **Essential nutrients**: Nutrients that the body cannot produce on its own and must be obtained from food.

5. **Vitamin**: Organic compounds that are necessary for various metabolic processes in the body, usually required in small amounts.

6. **Non-essential nutrients**: Nutrients that the body can synthesize on its own, so they do not need to be obtained exclusively through diet.

7. **Nutrition**: The process of providing or obtaining the food necessary for health and growth.

8. **Protein**: A macronutrient that plays a crucial role in building and repairing tissues; composed of amino acids.

9. **Fat**: A macronutrient that is a major source of energy and plays a role in important bodily functions, including hormone production and insulation.

10. **Mineral**: Inorganic elements that are crucial for a variety of bodily functions, including bone health, fluid balance, and enzyme function.

Feel free to match these definitions to the corresponding terms as needed in your assignment!

Answer 7

Here are the definitions you’ve provided matched to the corresponding terms:

1. **Elements found in food that are used by the body**: **Mineral**

2. **The process by which your body takes in and uses food**: **Nutrition**

3. **Starches and sugars and provide your body's main source of energy**: **Carbohydrate**

4. **Provide a concentrated form of energy, absorb and transport fat-soluble vitamins**: **Fat**

5. **Nutrients which our bodies can make. We can also get them from sources outside of our bodies, such as the sun**: **Non-essential nutrients**

6. **Essential for most body functions**: **Vitamin**

7. **A unit of heat used to measure the energy your body uses and the energy it receives from food**: **Calorie**

8. **Nutrients that our bodies cannot make**: **Essential nutrients**

9. **Compounds found in food that help regulate many body processes**: **Vitamin** (Note: This could also apply to minerals, but vitamins are more commonly recognized for this function.)

10. **Nutrients the body uses to build and maintain its cells and tissues**: **Protein**

Answer 8

According to the USDA, the five main food groups in the MyPlate dietary guidelines are:

1. **Fruits**
2. **Vegetables**
3. **Grains**
4. **Protein** (which includes meat and meat alternatives)
5. **Dairy**

Based on the options you've provided, the following are considered one of the five food groups:

- **Dairy**
- **Meat** (part of the Protein group)
- **Vegetables**
- **Fruits**
- **Grains**

The items **Wheat, Milk**, and **Proteins** can also fit into these categories, but they are more specific (Wheat is a type of grain, and Milk is a type of dairy).

So, to summarize, the correct choices are:

- **Dairy**
- **Meat**
- **Vegetables**
- **Fruits**
- **Grains**

Feel free to include the additional specificity for breads and dairy types in your assignment!

Answer 9

Here's how to categorize the items into their proper food groups according to the USDA guidelines:

### Fruits
- Cherries
- Cantaloupe
- Strawberries
- Peaches

### Vegetables
- Spinach
- Potatoes
- Squash
- Pumpkin

### Proteins
- Nuts
- Beef
- Tofu

### Grains
- Pasta
- Wheat
- Brown Rice
- Oatmeal

### Dairy
- Cottage Cheese
- Pudding (if it is dairy-based)
- Milk
- Yogurt

You can now place each item into its corresponding food group based on this classification.

Answer 10

There are **3,500** calories in one pound of body fat.
