2. How are these nutrients used by your body?

1 answer:

7 0

The nutrients that the body breaks down into basic units are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. From carbohydrates comes glucose, your body's -- especially the brain's -- primary form of fuel; from fats we get glycerol and fatty acids, many of which are essential ingredients in hormones and the protective sheath in our brain that covers communicating neurons; and from proteins we get amino acids, which are the building blocks to lots of structures, including our blood, muscle, skin, organs, antibodies, hair, and fingernails.

Each of these nutrients travels down a different pathway, but all can eventually fuel the body's production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is essentially our bodies' ultimate energy currency.

saul85 [17]

Answer: One formula unit of NaCl consists of one cation, whose chemical symbol is $Na^+$ and one anion whose chemical symbol is $Cl^-$

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

The cation is formed by the metal sodium which forms $Na^+$ and the anion is formed by non metal chlorine which forms $Cl^-$ .

For a formula unit of sodium chloride, the charges have to be balanced , thus the valencies of ions are exchanged and the neutral compound result. Thus

$Na^+$ and $Cl^-$ combine to form neutral $NaCl$
