  1. 4. An essential nutrient from plant and animal products; consists of many amino acid molecules linked together in long chains.
  2. 7. A type of processed fat made from plant oil (corn, soybean, etc.); hydrogenated fat tends to be solid at room temperature and contains high amounts of trans fat.
  3. 9. A simple sugar (glucose, fructose, lactose) found in fruit, milk, candy, and snack foods.
  4. 12. The part of food that is necessary to sustain life; the six essential nutrients include carbohydrate, fat, protein, vitamins, minerals, and water.
  5. 13. the fat stored in the body (under the skin and around the organs)
  6. 14. A plant oil (canola, corn, etc.) that is liquid at room temperature; consuming unsaturated fat does not appear to raise the risk of heart disease.
  7. 15. A type of fat that increases the risk of heart disease; hydrogenated fats contain a high amount of trans fat.
  8. 16. A special diet for endurance athletes that involves consuming extra amounts of carbohydrate; promotes the storing of more glycogen in your muscles and liver.
Down
  1. 1. When the total calories consumed exceed the total calories burned; leads to weight gain.
  2. 2. A type of processed fat made from plant oil (corn, soybean, etc.); hydrogenated fat tends to be solid at room temperature and contains high amounts of trans fat.
  3. 3. A large molecule of carbohydrate; long chains of simple sugars link together to make complex carbohydrates (found in whole grains, vegetables, and some fruits).
  4. 5. A unit of energy; describes how much energy is eaten or how much energy is burned.
  5. 6. A type of processed fat made from plant oil (corn, soybean, etc.); hydrogenated fat tends to be solid at room temperature and contains high amounts of trans fat.
  6. 8. A complex carbohydrate stored in the liver and in skeletal muscle; long chains of glucose molecules (simple sugar) link together to make glycogen.
  7. 9. A type of fat from mostly animal products that is solid at room temperature and increases the risk of heart disease.
  8. 10. The building blocks of protein; long chains of twenty-one unique amino acids link together to make protein molecules.
  9. 11. A complex carbohydrate stored in plant cells (grains, vegetables, and fruits); long chains of simple sugars link together to make starch.
