There are six classes of nutrients that must be considered when planning your diet: water, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitami
KiRa [710]

Answer:

<u> Essential</u> nutrients cannot be synthesized by the human body but are required for optimal functioning. Therefore. They must be obtained from food. Omega-3 fatty acids are prime examples.

You consume macronutrients (water. proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) in large quantities as opposed to <u>micronutrients</u> which you consume in small quantities

<u>Dehydration</u> can develop very quickly when exercising in hot/humid weather conditions.

<u>Proteins</u> are also called 'bodybuilders" due to their function within the body. <u>Amino acids</u> are the building blocks of proteins.

Explanation:

Essential nutrients are those nutrients that are required for the proper functioning of the body but cannot be synthesized by the body.  They are obtained from external sources such as vegetables or synthesized artificially in the laboratories. Micronutrients as the name implies are taken in small amounts. Examples are the different types of vitamins.  

Dehydration occurs when a person loses a good amount of water through sweating or urination. It can easily occur while exercising in hot weather conditions. Proteins repair the cells in our body and are, therefore, rightfully referred to as bodybuilders. Amino acids form proteins.

If you could monitor the activity from the photoreceptors of rods and cones in the retina during a dream, would you expect these
loris [4]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

- Yes, because people's eyes move during sleep, and this stimulates the rods and cones.

- No, because rods and cones only convert light energy into electrical signals.

- No, because rods and cones never produce electrical signals.

- Yes, because the rods and cones are reproducing images that are then sent to the brain.

Answer:

No, because rods and cones only convert light energy into electrical signals.

Explanation:

The rod and cone cells are the photoreceptor cells present on the retina of the eye which receives the physical stimulus in the form of light and then converts the light energy into the electrical energy which is sent to the brain.

When we dream, our remains closed and no light is able to enter the eye as a result of which the rods and cones do not send the signals to the brain.

Thus, the selected options are correct.
