Multiple Choice Questions
1. Which of the following best defines a nutrient?
A) Any chemical found in food
B) A substance that provides energy to the body
C) A substance obtained from food that is required for growth, maintenance, or reproduction
D) A vitamin or mineral essential for metabolism
Answer: C
Rationale: A nutrient is broadly defined as a substance obtained from food that is required for growth,
maintenance, or reproduction of the organism.
2. The science of nutrition primarily focuses on:
A) The chemical composition of food only
B) The relationship between food, nutrients, and health
C) Agricultural production of food
D) Pharmacological properties of food components
Answer: B
