Answer all questions below in this Word document. When you are ready, upload the
document to your assignment file.
Vocabulary: carbohydrate, disaccharide, lipid, monosaccharide, polysaccharide, protein, starch
Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)
1. What are the major types of nutrients you can get from food?
Carbohydrate, protein, and lipid.
2. How are these nutrients used by your body?
Carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars and used as energy. Lipids
are used as an energy store, as insulation and to make cell membranes. Protein is
used to build and repair tissues, bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood.
Protein is also used to make enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals.
