Document Summary

Food: substances that we eat; commonly recognizable parts of a diet. Nutrient: chemically identified components of foods that have been found to provice nutrition. Water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats (or lipids), minerals, vitamins, dietary fibre, and phytochemicals. Science is the systematic study to obtain knowledge about the natural world, and the knowledge so produced while technology is the manipulation. It is not structured like a general theory that can predict, with physics and chemistry. There are general laws and no equations involved in explanations. An explanation gives a satisfactory account of why somethings happen. An element is a sort of species of atom (an element of gold refers to all atoms in the universe that have characteristics of gold). An atom is an individual of that species, and is the smallest unit of an element. A solution is a homogenous mixture formed by combining a solute with a solvent. Thus, making it a mixture due to the lack of chemical change.
