FNH 250 FINAL EXAM | 409 QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS | WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTION!!


protein functions (growth, maintenance, repair) - ANS -- replace dying/injured
cells with new cells and new proteins
- visual pigments
- collagen
- muscle
- blood clotting
- blood transport proteins


what hormones are made of protein - ANS -insulin (regulates blood glucose),
thyroid hormones (regulates metabolic rate), glucagon


protein function in cell membrane - ANS --receptors
- cellular pumps to maintain fluid balance
- carriers for nutrient absorption


how does protein regulate body fluid balance? - ANS -because water is attracted
to charges on amino acid side chains, proteins in the blood attract water to
maintain blood volume and blood pressure (oncotic pressure) and reduce edema
(swelling in the tissues)

,how do proteins act as Ph balance? - ANS -- proteins can accept or donate
hydrogen ions to act as buffers to prevent acidic and basic waste products being
transported in the blood from changing blood pH past its narrow range


complete list of protein functions - ANS -- growth, maintenance, repair
- immune function
- enzymes
- hormones
- cell membranes
- blood buffer
- fluid balance
- provision of energy


sources of protein - ANS -- meat
- fish
- poultry
- eggs
- dairy
- grains
- nuts
- seeds
- legumes
- vegetables (low)

, RDA protein for adults - ANS -0.8g per kg body weight (some athletes can increase
to 1-2.5g protein/kg body weight, lactating females 1.3g/kg body weight, 1.1g per
kg body weight female)


protein AMDR - ANS -10-35%


canadas good guide for protein - ANS -- eat protein foods
- eat protein foods like legumes, nuts, seeds, lean meat and poultry, fish, eggs,
low fat dairy)
- choose protein from plants


harmful effects of a high protein diet - ANS -- increases saturated fat intake and
dietary cholesterol because of increased animal food intake
- higher cost
- crowds nutrient dense foods
- promotes calcium loss from bone (might increase absorption but increases
excretion in kidney)
- colon cancer


two types of protein energy malnutrition - ANS -marasmus and kwashiorkor


what does protein deficiency lead to? - ANS -protein energy malnutrition


is marasmus chronic or acute? - ANS -chronic


is kwashiorkor chronic or acute - ANS -acute
