Assignment: As you may recall, nutrients are divided into the following six (6) categories:

• Carbohydrates

• Lipids (Fats)

• Proteins

• Vitamins

• Minerals

• Water

For this assignment, you will need to develop an informative PowerPoint presentation that could be used to teach your classmates about a variety of nutrients from the nutrient categories (above).

1. Your PowerPoint presentation should:

• Have a title slide.

• Contain at least 6 content slides.

• Reflect proper spelling and grammar.

• Cite at least 2 credible references and present the sources in APA format on a References slide.

2. Choose five (5) specific nutrients from within the nutrient categories listed above. You may choose either:

• a mixture of five (5) macro and micro nutrients

a. For example, you can use 2 macronutrients (such as lipids and carbohydrates) and 3 micronutrients (such as specific vitamins and minerals)

• five (5) different vitamins or minerals

a. For example, 2 vitamins (such as A and D), 2 major minerals (such as sodium, calcium, and potassium), and 1 trace mineral (such as zinc).

3. For each of the nutrients you selected, create content slides that address the following:

• Explain the function(s) of the nutrient within the body.

• Describe how the nutrient is metabolized (where primarily digested, absorbed, and transported) within the body.

• Identify the current Reference Daily Intake (RDI) for the nutrient for an average adult.
