Across
  1. 6. severe protein malnutrition especially in children after weaning marked by lethargy,growth retardation,anaemia,edema,potbelly,skin depigmentation etc.
  2. 7. the pulpy acidic fluid which passes from the stomach to the small intestine,consisting of gastric juices and partly digested food
  3. 8. any substance containing nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats that can be ingested by a living organism and metabolized into energy and body tissue
  4. 13. a progressive wasting of the body occurring chiefly in young children and associated with insufficient intake or malabsorption of food
  5. 14. the quantity range and quality energy(calories), vitamins,minerals and phytochemicals that are found in food
  6. 15. a swelling of the neck resulting from enlargement of the thyroid gland
  7. 19. a compound of the sterol type found in most tissues.
  8. 21. the involuntary constriction and relaxation of the muscles of the intestine or another canal,creating wave like movements which push the contents of the canal forward
  9. 26. if all the essential amino acids are present in the correct proportions, the proteins has a high biological value.
  10. 27. the condition of health as it relates to the intake and use of food by the body.
  11. 28. a disease of children caused by vitamin D deficiency,characterized by imperfect calcification,softening and distortion of the bones typically resulting in bow legs.
  12. 29. normal assimilation by the tissues of the product of digestion

  5. 5. by the action of enzymes food is converted into a substance suitable for absorption
  6. 9. the process by which food is broken down into simple chemical compounds that can be absorbed and used as nutrients or eliminated by the body
  7. 10. the process by which the body derives energy from sources other than protein.
