HUN 2201 CHAPTERS 1-4 EXAM
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
vitamins - ANSWER-organic, essential nutrients required in small amounts by the body
for health
minerals - ANSWER-inorganic elements. some minerals are essential nutrients required
in small amounts by the body for health
genome - ANSWER-the complete set of genetic material (DNA) in an organism or a cell.
The study of genomes is called genomics.
nutritional genomics - ANSWER-the science of how nutrients affect the activities of
genes(nutrigenomics) and how genes affect the interactions between diet and disease
(nutrigenetics)
Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) - ANSWER-a set of nutrient intake values for healthy
people in the United States and Canada. These values are used for planning and
assessing diets and include: EAR, RDA, AI, UL
requirement - ANSWER-the lowest continuing intake of a nutrient that will maintain a
specified criterion of adeqacy
Estimated Average Requirement - ANSWER-the average daily amount of a nutrient that
will maintain a specific biochemical or physiological function in half the healthy people of
a given age and gender group
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) - ANSWER-the average daily amount of a
nutrient considered adequate to meet the known nutrient needs of practically all healthy
people
deficient - ANSWER-inadequate: a nutrient amount that fails to meet the bodys needs
and eventually results in deficiency symptoms
Adequate Intake (AI) - ANSWER-the average daily amount of a nutrient that appears
sufficient to maintain a specified criterion
Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) - ANSWER-the maximum daily amount of a nutrient
that appears safe for most healthy people and beyond which there is an increased risk
of adverse health affect
Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) - ANSWER-the average dietary energy intake
that maintains energy balance and good health in a person of a given age, gender,
weight, height, and level of physical activity
