5. Which |of |the |following |is |the |most |accurate |statement |regarding |the |functions |of |protein?
a. Proteins |can |be |a |primary |fuel |source |even |if |there |is |adequate |carbohydrate |intake.
b. Proteins |are |a |necessary |nutrient |to |provide |energy |for |the |body |in |times |of |stress.
c. Proteins |can |be |used |as |coenzyme |factors |during |cell |metabolism.
d. Proteins |are |essential |to |building |and |repairing |tissues |within |the |body.
ANS: | D
The |primary |function |of |proteins |is |to |provide |amino |acids, |which |are |the |building |units
|necessary |to |building |and |repairing |tissues |within |the |body. |This |is |a |constant |process
|that|ensures |adequate |growth | and |maintenance |of |tissues |for |a |strong |body.

6. A |65-year-old |man |requires |2000 |kcal/day |without |any |specific |fat |or |carbohydrate
requirements. |The |approximate |number |of |kilocalories |per |day |from |fat |that |his |diet
|
should|provide |is kcal/day.
|
a. 400 |to |700
b. | | | 100 |to |300
c. 500 |to |800
d. | 900 |to |1200
ANS: | A
Fat |should |provide |no |more |than |20% |to |35% |of |the |total |kilocalories |per |day, |so |for |a |2000-
|kcal |diet, |400 |to |700 |kcal | should |be |provided.

7. The |body’s |main |storage |form |of |carbohydrate |is
a. glycogen.
b. glycerol.
, c. glucagon.
d. glucose.
ANS: | A
Glycogen |is |a |polysaccharide |that |is |the |main |storage |form |of |carbohydrate |in |the
|human|body. |It |is |mainly |stored |in |the |liver |and |to |a |lesser |extent |in |muscle |tissue.

8. The |number |of |kilocalories |provided |by |one |slice |of |bread |that |contains |30 |g |carbohydrate, |3
|g|protein, |and |1 |g |fat |is kcal.
a. 34
b. | | | 136
c. 141
d. | | | 306
ANS: | C
Calculate |as |follows: |Carbohydrate |provides |4 |kcal/g, |protein |provides |4 |kcal/g, |and
|fat|provides |9 |kcal/g. |Therefore:
30 |g |carbohydrate 4 |kcal/g |= |120 |kcal
3 |g |protein 4 |kcal/g |= |12 |kcal
1 |g |fat 9 |kcal/g |= |9 |kcal
= |141 |total |kcal |(120 |kcal |+ |12 |kcal |+ |9 |kcal)

a. 88
b. | | | 132
c. 154
d. | | | 198
ANS: | D
Fat |provides |9 |kcal/g. |Thus, |22 |g |fat 9 |kcal/g |= |198 |kcal.
