NAFC Nutrition Certification Exam Questions and Answers
the study of the composition, structure, functions
What is Proteomics? and interactions of the proteins
Why is it important? directing the activities of each living cell. It
is important is because proteins make up
virtually everything and direct the
activity of cells.
Why are proteins they cannot synthesize all of the amino
essential in animals' acids needed and must obtain essential
diets? amino acids from food.
What are essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by
amino acids? an organism and must be obtained
through diet.
What is arguably the the production of the thousands of different
most important proteins the body needs to function.
function of cells?
One of the key transport of nutrients and other materials in out of
functions of some of the cell.
the cellular proteins
involves what?
What is a cell and why the basic structural, functional and
is it important? biological unit of all known living
organisms. The smallest unit of life that
, can replicate independently. Building
blocks of life
Memebranous: Endoplasmic reticulum,
Major components of a golgi apparatus, lysosomes, peroxisomes,
cell
mitochondria
Non Membranous: cytoskelaton, microvilli,
centrioles, cilia, ribosomes, proteasomes
cells are the building blocks of all plants and
animals
Tenets of cell theory all cells are produced by the division of pre-
existing cells
Cells are the smallest units that
perform all vital physiological
functions Each cell maintains
homeostasis
Homeostasis at higher levels, reflects combined,
coordinated action of many cells
What are the different Primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary
structural levels of
proteins?
What are enzymes and The best known role of protein inside the
why are they cell. They serve as a catalyst for chemical
important? reactions. They are highly specific and
accelerate chemical reactions in
metabolism and DNA manipulation.
