Question 4
Anorexia nervosa

literally means loss of appetite, but this is a misnomer: A person with this is hungry, but denies the hunger
because of an irrational fear of becoming fat. Self-starvation, food preoccupation and rituals, compulsive
exercising, and often an absence of menstrual cycles in women.
Untreated, can be fatal.
Question 5
Bulimia
Correct Answer
characterized by recurring periods of binge eating, during which large amounts of food are consumed in a short
period of time followed by purging (through self-induced vomiting, abuse of laxatives and/or diuretics) or periods
of fasting
Question 6
Binge eating disorder (BED)
Correct Answer
episodes of binge eating characterized by eating rapidly, eating large amounts of food even when not feeling
hungry, and feeling guilty or depressed after overeating.

,Question 7
Obesity
Correct Answer
15 to 20 percent above normal weight. Poor dietary patterns; include increased intake of sugars in sweetened soft
drinks, foods, and meals of high energy, low nutrient density, and large portion sizes. At risk for serious health
problems such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer.
Question 8
Minerals
Correct Answer
inorganic material. Form body parts (teeth and bones), maintain acid-base neutrality, regulate nerve impulses,
osmotic pressure, and electrolyte balance
Question 9
Major minerals
Correct Answer
needed by the body:
• calcium—milk, cheese, sardines, salmon, green vegetables
• phosphorus—milk, cheese, lean meat
• potassium—oranges, bananas, dried fruits
• sulfur—eggs, poultry, fish
• sodium—table salt, beef, eggs, cheese
• chloride—table salt, meat
• magnesium—green vegetables, whole grains
Question 10
Trace minerals
Correct Answer
required in lesser amounts, and include iron, zinc, selenium, magnesium, copper, iodine, fluorine, chromium,
molybdenum, and manganese
Question 11
HDL cholesterol (high density lipoproteins)
Correct Answer
protect the body against heart disease. Often called "good" cholesterol.
Question 12
LDL cholesterol (low density lipoproteins)
Correct Answer
most cholesterol in the blood is of this type. Often referred to as the bad cholesterol. high levels in the blood
increases the risk of fatty deposits forming in the arteries, which in turn increases the risk of a heart attack

, Question 13
Lipoproteins
Correct Answer
large molecules of fat and protein in the bloodstream; how cholesterol is transported
Question 14
Antioxidants
Correct Answer
slow the aging process. Reduce cellular damage by binding with free radicals produced during oxidation reactions
Question 15
Oxidation reactions
Correct Answer
the energy-yielding reactions in which either an oxygen atom adds an electron to or a hydrogen atom removes an
electron from a substrate (a group of atoms or molecule)—the net result is a substrate that has had a partial or
complete loss of a negatively charge particle, an electron. Two partially charged atoms or groups of atoms, one
positively charged and the other negatively charged, now exist
Question 16
Free radical (Oxidant)
Correct Answer
any atom or group of atoms that has an unpaired electron. Because electrons typically function in pairs, these are
very prone to binding to other substrates in an effort to regain this paired status. When this happens in the human
body, there is potential for a great deal of damage.
Question 17
Carbohydrates
Correct Answer
produce 4 calories of energy per gram. Found in foods as monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.
Sources include fruits, vegetables, pasta, and rice which consist of simple sugars and starches
Question 18
Protein
Correct Answer
produce 4 calories of energy per gram. Sources include meats and milk. Composed of 8 essential(provided by the
diet) and 12 nonessential(synthesized by the body) amino acids. Perform many functions including building cells
and tissues, forming blood and enzymes, and fighting infection.
