1. Metabolism - the process by which a cell converts the nutrients into energy or materials necessary for growth, repair, etc...
2. Catabolism - this process is the conversion of nutrients into energy
3. Glucose - the cell's main source of energy
4. Anabolism - is the process by which cells use energy to repair or build new tissues
5. Protein - this is the nutrient that is essential to cell construction, reproduction and maintenance
6. Essential Amino Acids - they are amino acids which can never be manufactured by the body and must be from food sources
7. Complete Protein - this food source contains all the essential amino acids
8. Incomplete Protein - this does not contain all essential amino acids
I hope this helps. Good Day.
