NUTR 110 EXAM 2| QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
1. An optimal intake of protein for Americans is approximately _____________ _.
75 grams per day for women and 90 grams per day for men 56
grams per day for women and 70 grams per day for men 90 grams
per day for women and 100 grams per day for men
46 grams per day for women and 56 grams per day for men
2. If a restaurant experiences an outbreak of Clostridium botulinum, what
immediate action should be taken to ensure food safety?
Continue serving the same menu without changes.
Increase the cooking temperature of all dishes.
Remove all potentially contaminated food items from the menu.
Notify customers to eat more raw foods.
3. Describe the conditions under which the body shifts to producing ketone bodies
instead of glucose for energy.
The body produces ketone bodies when there is an excess of glucose
available for energy.
The body produces ketone bodies during high protein intake, converting amino
acids to glucose.
The body produces ketone bodies when carbohydrate intake is low,
leading to fat breakdown for energy.
The body produces ketone bodies only during prolonged exercise.
4. The most important role of proteins is to:
, Cushion and insulate your body.
Provide carbohydrates to your body.
Build and repair tissue in your body.
Give energy to your body
5. Describe the significance of glycogen storage in the body and its role in energy
metabolism.
Glycogen serves as a readily available source of glucose for energy during
physical activity and between meals.
Glycogen is stored only in the liver and has no role in muscle energy.
Glycogen is primarily used for protein synthesis in the body.
Glycogen is a type of fat stored in adipose tissue.
6. Describe how foodborne infections and foodborne intoxications differ in terms
of their onset and symptoms.
Foodborne infections typically have a longer incubation period and may
cause symptoms like diarrhea and fever, while foodborne
intoxications usually have a rapid onset of symptoms due to preformed
toxins.
Foodborne infections are always asymptomatic, while foodborne intoxications
always cause severe symptoms.
Foodborne infections cause immediate symptoms, while foodborne
intoxications take days to develop.
Foodborne infections and intoxications have the same onset and symptoms.
,7. Describe how the structure of proteins differs from that of carbohydrates and lipids.
Proteins are composed solely of carbon chains, while carbohydrates and lipids
contain nitrogen.
Proteins have a unique structure that includes amino acids linked by
peptide bonds, while carbohydrates consist of sugar units and lipids are
made up of fatty acids and glycerol.
Proteins are made of nucleotides, while carbohydrates and lipids are made of
amino acids.
Proteins are simple sugars, carbohydrates are complex molecules, and lipids
are proteins.
8. Describe how the alcohol content in different types of beverages affects the
definition of a standard drink.
All alcoholic beverages are considered equal regardless of type, with each
being defined as 8 ounces.
The alcohol content does not affect the definition of a standard drink; it is
always 10 ounces.
The definition of a standard drink varies by beverage type due to
differences in alcohol content, with beer typically being 12 ounces, wine 5
ounces, and liquor 1.5 ounces.
A standard drink is defined only by the volume of the beverage, not its
alcohol content.
9. If a restaurant implements the FightBac Campaign effectively, what outcome can be
expected?
Higher protein content in meals served.
A reduction in foodborne illnesses among customers.
, More frequent alcohol consumption by patrons. An
increase in food preparation time.
10. According to the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) for protein, a typical
college-age man needs _______________ of protein.
42 g/day
46 g/day
56 g/day
64 g/day
11. Conventionally, 1 drink refers to:
Glass of wine
Pitcher of beer
Shot of liquor
A, B, and C
Bottle of beer
12. A type of protein energy malnutrition that results from inadequate protein and
energy intake is:
kwashiorkor
anorexia
cachexia
marasmus
