Introduction
This WebQuest is designed for you to explore the macronutrients that make up the human body and are essential to a healthy diet. The three macronutrients are Proteins, Carbohydrates ("Carbs"), and Fat ("Lipids"). This site will navigate you through each of the individual macronutrients and guide you as you complete a poster that organizes your understanding.
