ACTUAL Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
nutrients supplied by plant foods - CORRECT ANSWER - plant sources of protein are
also a good source of Vitamin B and minerals such as iron, zinc fiber, and calcium, but in less
absorbable forms
nutrients supplied by animal foods - CORRECT ANSWER - animal products provide
sources of protein, Vitamin B, and minerals such as iron, zinc, and calcium; however, these foods
are low in fiber and can be high in fat
types of vegetarians - CORRECT ANSWER - vegan, facto-vegetarians, lacto-ovo-
vegetarians
nutrient concerns (vegetarians) - CORRECT ANSWER - Vitamin B12, calcium, iron, zinc,
Vitamin D, high-quality protein, riboflavin
special concerns for infants and children
1 our of every ___ otherwise healthy people in the US suffers from the digestive disease known
as celiac disease - CORRECT ANSWER - 133
celiac disease - CORRECT ANSWER - wheat or gluten intolerance (found in wheat, rye,
and barley)
kwashiorkor - CORRECT ANSWER - mostly protein problem (but also calorie problem)
severe protein (with moderate energy) deficit; often accompanied by infections or other diseases
,characteristics:
-edema
-mild to moderate weight loss
-maintenance of some muscle and subcutaneous fat
-growth impairment
-rapid onset
-fatty liver
marasmus - CORRECT ANSWER - mostly calorie problem (but also protein problem)
severe energy and protein deficit
characteristics:
-severe weight loss
-wasting of muscle and body fat (skin and bones appearance)
-severe growth impairment
-develops gradually
carbohydrates - CORRECT ANSWER - -macronutrient
-4 kcal/g
-carbon, oxygen, hydrogen
-carbon-hydrate: C + H20 // CHO
-glucose: C6H12O6
photosynthesis (process) - CORRECT ANSWER - sunlight energy --> carbon dioxide +
water --> carbohydrates are formed --> oxygen is released by the plant
, Work is generally required to produce order out of disorder, so... - CORRECT ANSWER -
energy must be used to produce a highly ordered state
carbohydrate functions - CORRECT ANSWER - -provides energy
-spares protein
-provides sweetness
-provides fiber
-enhances functions of some proteins
simple carbohydrates - CORRECT ANSWER - -monosaccarides (e.g. glucose, fructose,
galactose)
-disaccarides: two monosaccharides (e.g. lactose, maltose, sucrose)
complex carbohydrates - CORRECT ANSWER - -three or more monosaccharides
-oligosaccharides (more than two monosaccharides)
-polysaccharides (starch [plant storage form of carbs], glycogen [human storage form of carbs],
fiber)
glucose - CORRECT ANSWER - most abundant sugar molecule in our diet; good energy
source
fructose - CORRECT ANSWER - sweetest natural sugar; found in fruit, high-fructose corn
syrup
galactose - CORRECT ANSWER - does not occur alone in foods; binds with glucose to
form lactose
lactose - CORRECT ANSWER - glucose + galactose
