Explanation / Answer

_Saturated__  fats, found in animal products and  _large amounts , can remain solid even at body temperature.  _unsaturated__  fats naturally contain carbon-carbon double bonds in a  _cis_  conformation that keeps them from  _packing together well_ .

Of the 20 natural amino acids, we only need to consume 9 _essential   amino acids, because we can synthesize the others_ . Particularly in a diet heavy in  _meat__ , we must carefully select complementary proteins like corn and  _beans_  to avoid missing an amino acid.

Vitamins and minerals are called micronutrients_  as they are not required in large amounts_ . Vitamins are varied  _organic compounds__ ; some are _water-soluble__  and will be poorly stored in the body, while others are _fat-soluble_  and can build up to a toxic level. Minerals are  ions or ionic compounds , such as the calcium ion or phosphate.
