4. Use the information under the Nutrients That the Human Body Needs title to create a multilevel list. Your list should meet these requirements. a. The first level should be the name of the nutrient. b. The second level should contain the subheadings “Uses” and “Sources.” c. The third level should contain the specific information about the second level. 5. There are two types of carbohydrates: simple and complex. Add this information under “Carbohydrates.” Make “Types” part of the second level and “Simple” and “Complex” part of the third level. 6. In the space below, explain how creating a multilevel list makes the Nutrients That the Human Body Needs information more readable.

Here is a multilevel list that I created based on the information under the Nutrients That the Human Body Needs title:

- Protein

- Uses

- Provides the building blocks of the body, and not just for muscle

- Used primarily for growth, health, and body maintenance

- Composes every cell, from bone to skin to hair

- Composes all of your hormones, antibodies, and other important substances

- Sources

- Meat, fish, and eggs

- Beans, soy, nuts, and some grains

- Carbohydrates

- Uses

- Fuels your body, especially your central nervous system and brain

- Protects against disease

- Sources

- Whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes

- Milk and dairy products

- Sugars, syrups, and processed foods (limit their intake)

- Types

- Simple

- Consist of one or two sugar units

- Provide quick energy but can cause blood sugar spikes and crashes

- Found in fruits, milk, honey, table sugar, and candy

- Complex

- Consist of many sugar units linked together

- Provide longer-lasting energy and more nutrients

- Found in whole grains, starchy vegetables, beans, and peas

- Fats

- Uses

- Stores energy and insulates the body

- Protects the organs and helps absorb some vitamins

- Supports cell growth and hormone production

- Sources

- Unsaturated fats (healthy fats)

- Found in plant-based oils, nuts, seeds, avocados, and fatty fish

- Can lower the risk of heart disease and stroke by improving cholesterol levels

- Saturated fats (less healthy fats)

- Found in animal products, such as meat, butter, cheese, and cream

- Can raise the risk of heart disease and stroke by increasing cholesterol levels

- Trans fats (unhealthy fats)

- Found in processed foods, such as baked goods, snacks, and fried foods

- Can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke by raising bad cholesterol and lowering good cholesterol

- Vitamins

- Uses

- Boosts the immune system

- Helps prevent or delay certain cancers

- Strengthens teeth and bones

- Aids calcium absorption

- Maintains healthy skin

- Helps the body metabolize proteins and carbs

- Aids brain and nervous system functioning

- Sources

- Fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K)

- Found in fatty foods, such as vegetable oils, dairy products, liver, and eggs

- Stored in the body's fat tissue and can build up to toxic levels if consumed in excess

- Water soluble vitamins (B complex and C)

- Found in fruits, vegetables, grains, meat, eggs, and dairy products

- Not stored in the body and need to be replenished regularly through diet

- Minerals

- Uses

- Balances water levels

- Maintains healthy skin, hair, and nails

- Improves bone health

- Strengthens blood

- Aids in blood clotting

- Helps carry oxygen

- Supports the immune system

- Supports healthy blood pressure

- Sources

- Major minerals (magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, sulfur, sodium, potassium, chloride)

- Found in various foods depending on the mineral

- Needed in larger amounts by the body than trace minerals

- Trace minerals (iron, selenium, zinc, manganese, chromium copper iodine fluoride molybdenum)

- Found in various foods depending on the mineral

* Needed in smaller amounts by the body than major minerals

Creating a multilevel list makes the Nutrients That the Human Body Needs information more readable because:

- It organizes the information into categories and subcategories that are easy to follow and understand.

- It highlights the main points and details of each nutrient without overwhelming the reader with too much text.

- It allows the reader to compare and contrast different nutrients based on their uses and sources.
