I need to be able to identify functions of nutrients and food.

The most accepted concept in nutrition is that it serves
three main functions:

a) To provide energy (through the
consumption of carbohydrates, some fats, and protein).

b)
To regulate body functions (through the consumption of water, fiber, lipids,
carbohydrates, and protein, among others).

c) To help the
body develop (through the consumption of minerals, vitamins, protein, and carbohydrates
that aid in our body's different metabolic processes).

In
conclusion, nutrients and food help nourish our bodies. They help our bodies become
energized, as well as develop, grow, and stay healthy.

Good
luck on your quiz!
