at least help with question number 2, number 5 and number 10 I would really appreciate it
1. The digestive organ through which food passes before reaching the stomach is the esophagus. To find this answer, you can refer to a basic anatomy textbook or search online for the human digestive system.
2. Starches and sugars belong to the class of nutrients called carbohydrates. This information can be found in a nutrition textbook or by searching for the different classes of nutrients.
3. A method for assessing body size by taking height and weight into account is the body mass index (BMI). You can find this answer by referring to a health or fitness resource that discusses body composition assessments.
4. The skin, lungs, and kidneys are all part of the excretory system, which removes waste from the body. You can find this information by studying basic human anatomy or searching for the components of the excretory system.
5. The chemical reactions that occur inside the body's cells to produce energy are called metabolism. This information can be found in a biology or physiology textbook or by searching online for the definition of metabolism.
6. The amount of energy in food is measured in calories. This is a basic concept in nutrition and can be found in any nutrition textbook or by searching for the definition of calories.
7. Balancing calories with activity level results in maintaining weight. This is a basic principle of weight management and can be found in reliable health and fitness resources.
8. The liver secretes bile, which aids in the digestion of fats. This information can be found in a basic anatomy or physiology textbook or by searching for the functions of the liver.
9. The factors that play a role in determining a person's weight include heredity, activity level, body mass index (BMI), and body composition. This information can be found in sources discussing weight management and body composition assessments.
10. The number of calories the body burns while resting is called basal metabolic rate (BMR). This information can be found in sources discussing metabolism and energy expenditure.
11. Fats supply over twice the number of calories as the same weight of carbohydrates and proteins. This statement is true. You can find this information in nutrition textbooks that discuss the caloric content of different nutrients.
12. Spinach and other leafy green vegetables are nutrient-dense foods. This statement is true. Nutrient density refers to the amount of nutrients per calorie in a food, and leafy green vegetables are often considered nutrient-dense because they contain a variety of vitamins and minerals. This information can be found in resources discussing nutrition and healthy eating.
13. Most of the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream takes place in the small intestine, not the large intestine. This statement is false. You can find this information in sources discussing the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system.
14. Every person does not have the same calorie needs. This statement is false. Calorie needs vary depending on factors such as age, gender, activity level, and overall health. You can find this information in reliable health and nutrition resources.
15. The MyPlate plan does not recommend having more protein than vegetables for each meal. This statement is false. The MyPlate plan emphasizes a balanced diet with a variety of foods from different food groups, including fruits, vegetables, protein, grains, and dairy. You can find this information on the MyPlate website or in resources discussing dietary guidelines.
And you know none of these answers?
Why not?
