HUN 1201 EXAM 1 FINAL STUDY GUIDE 2026
PRACTICE SOLUTION
◉ macronutrient. Answer: required in large amounts, produces
energy
◉ micronutrient. Answer: required in trace amounts, do not produce
energy but can facilitate energy production
◉ carbohydrates- organic? produce energy? macro or micro?.
Answer: organic, energy-producing, macronutrient
◉ lipids- organic? produce energy? macro or micro?. Answer:
organic, energy producing, macronutrient
◉ proteins- organic? produce energy? macro or micro?. Answer:
organic, energy producing, macronutrient
◉ vitamins- organic? produce energy? macro or micro?. Answer:
organic, not energy-producing, micro
◉ minerals- organic? produce energy? macro or micro?. Answer:
inorganic, not energy-producing, micro
,◉ water- organic? produce energy? macro or micro?. Answer:
inorganic, not energy-producing, not macro or micro
◉ kcalorie. Answer: energy required to raise 1kg of water by 1
degree C
◉ how many kcal/g do carbs produce. Answer: 4 kcal/g
◉ how many kcal/g do lipids produce. Answer: 9 kcal/g
◉ how many kcal/g do proteins produce. Answer: 4 kcal/g
◉ alcohol. Answer: not considered a nutrient, but still provides
energy- specifically 7 kcal/g
◉ compare and contrast vitamins and minerals. Answer: 13
vitamins, organic, can be destroyed by heat or light, facilitate energy
release
16 minerals, inorganic, can't be destroyed but can be lost in food
processing
, ◉ science of nutrition. Answer: study of food and nutrients and how
the body handles them
◉ double-blind experiment. Answer: both the researchers and
participants do not know which treatment is given to which group
◉ steps of the scientific method. Answer: observation/question,
hypothesis, experiment, results/interpretations, either a theory or
more observations/questions
◉ three types of epidemiological studies. Answer: cross-sectional,
case-control, cohort
◉ cross-sectional study. Answer: finds prevalence of an outcome in a
broad population at one point and correlates it to health
◉ case-control study. Answer: compares two or more groups
(including a control). usually one with a condition and one without
◉ cohort study. Answer: looks at one group of people over time
◉ dietary reference intakes (DRI). Answer: standards for energy,
nutrients, and other dietary components
