About Nutrients and Nutrient Requirements
GoConqr OriginalWhat this page covers
This unit sits in the Foundations of Nutrition strand of Nutrition and dietetics. Most of what is listed is about the macronutrients, and protein gets the most attention. There are also resources on fats, carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins, minerals, water and dietary reference intakes.
Where to start
Begin with a mind map, because it shows the whole topic on one screen. The mind map Protein covers growth, repair, energy, hormones, enzymes and antibodies. It also covers amino acids, essential amino acids and high and low biological value sources. The map Mind map for PROTEIN adds excess, biological value and protein complementation. A map on how much protein we need leads into the recommended amount of 1 g per kg of body weight that appears in several maps.
Then move across to the other nutrients. Function of Carbohydrates explains carbohydrates as fuel, and Fat sets saturated fat beside unsaturated fat. Maps on vitamins, minerals and diet deficiencies help you see what goes wrong when a nutrient is missing.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first, then take a quiz on the same nutrient. A good first quiz is Nutr 2360, which asks about the six classes of nutrients and which of them are macronutrients. After that, try the quiz on proteins and lipids from Introductory Nutrition, Unit 3, which asks about amino acids as the building blocks of protein.
- Read one mind map on a single nutrient.
- Take a quiz on that nutrient and note what you missed.
- Go back to the map for those gaps.
- Use a flashcard deck such as Nutrients and their Functions for quick recall.
Levels and exam links
Most resources suit school students. Some mention GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition, GCSE Food Technology or A-level Health and Social Care. A smaller share is aimed at university students and professional candidates, often as lecture-based quizzes and decks. Teachers can pick maps and notes to use as ready-made material.
Next step
Choose one nutrient you find hardest, open a map on it and see how much you can recall. Then build a map or deck of your own to fill in what is missing.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map Protein. It lists the functions of protein, its elements, amino acids and good food sources on one screen. When you're ready to test yourself, try the Nutr 2360 quiz, which begins with the six classes of nutrients and which of them are macronutrients.
What do the mind maps on this page cover?
Most of them focus on protein, including amino acids, high and low biological value, deficiency, excess and protein complementation. Others cover fats and lipids, carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins, minerals, dietary reference intakes and diet deficiencies. Together they give a broad view of nutrients and how much of each the body needs.
Are these resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. If you want to save quiz scores or make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, you can add a free account.
Which levels and exams do the resources suit?
Most suit school students, and some mention GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition, GCSE Food Technology or A-level Health and Social Care. A smaller share suits university students and professional candidates, with lecture-based quizzes and flashcard decks. Teachers can use the maps and notes as ready-made material.
Are there quizzes as well as mind maps?
Yes. There are more than 20 quizzes alongside over 300 mind maps and more than 80 flashcard decks. Quizzes range from topic checks on proteins and lipids to broader exam-style sets on carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, alcohols and water. Use them after reading a map to see what you remember.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Try a nearby nutrient first. Many maps and decks overlap, so a resource on macronutrients or basic nutrition may cover your point. If nothing fits, you can make your own mind map or flashcards on the topic and use the existing ones as a model.
