Answer:
Macronutrients: water, fat, carbohydrates, protein
Micronutrients: minerals, vitamins
Explanation:
The six types of nutrients humans need are water, fat, carbohydrates, protein, minerals, and vitamins.
Macronutrients are nutrients we need in large amounts (macro- means big).
Micronutrients are nutrients we need in small amount (micro- means small).
Consider what you eat in a day, you (should) be getting all of these.
It's recommended you have about 8 cups of water a day, which is a large amount.
Fat and carbohydrates are used as sources of energy and are consumed in large amounts.
Proteins (meats, nuts) used to build muscle are also eaten in large amount.
Minerals and vitamins have recommended intakes of milligrams (mg) which is a very small amount. They are found in traces in our food. For example, you would not fill your entire palm with calcium and eat it. You only need small amounts of calcium (probably in your milk).
The term that best completes the statement is PROTISTA. It is the Kingdom protista that is considered heterogeneous because it both consists of eukaryotes that are unicellular and multicellular but these cannot be classified as either an animal or a plant.
The correct answer is: 5) NER recognizes helix distortions, while BER recognizes specific base damage.
DNA damage that occurs as a result of radiation, oxidizing reagents, chemicals and other mutagens can be repaired. Excision repair repairs single strand DNA damage and it includes:
• Nucleotide excision repair (NER)-it detects and repairs types of damage that distort the DNA double helix such as those of UV radiation (thymine dimers); not only the damaged nucleotide(s) are removed but also a surrounding patch of DNA
• Base excision repair (BER)-it detects and removes certain types of damaged bases (small, non-helix-distorting bases); enzyme glycosylase is responsible for this type of repair
