3. Thesum of all odyprocesses inside living cells that sustain life and health is
a. Science.
b. Digestion.
c. Metabolism.
d. Nutrition.
ANS: c
Metabolism is the sum of all chemical changesthat take place inthe ody. Metabolism
provides energy, uilds tissue, and regulates Metabolic processes in the ody.

4. Thenutrients that provide the ody with its primary source of fuel for energy are
a. Vitamins.
b. Minerals.
c. Fier.
d. Carohydrates.
ANS: d
Carohydrates (E.G., starches andsugars) arethe ody’s primary fuel to carry out
necessary processes; fat is the secondary source of energy.

5. Whichof the following is the most accurate statement regarding the functions of protein?
a. Proteins can e a primary fuel source even if there is adequate carohydrate intake.
b. Proteins are anecessary nutrient to provide energy for the ody in times of stress.
c. Proteins can e used as coenzyme factors during cell Metabolism.
d. Proteins are essential to uilding and repairing tissues within the ody.
ANS: d
The primary function of proteins is to provide amino acids, which are the uilding
units necessary to uilding and repairing tissues within the ody.this is a constant
process that ensures adequate growth and maintenance of tissues for a strong ody.

6. A 65-Year-Old man requires 2000 kcal/Day without any specific fat or carohydrate
requirements. the approximate numer of kilocalories per dayfrom 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 e provided.

7. Theody’s main storage form of carohydrate is
a. Glycogen.
b. Glycerol.
, c. Glucagon.
d. Glucose.
ANS: a
Glycogen is a polysaccharide that is the main storage form of carohydrate in the
human ody. it is mainly stored in the liver and to a lesser extent in muscle tissue.

8. Thenumer of kilocalories provided yone slice of read that contains 30 gcarohydrate, 3 g
protein, and 1 g fat is Kcal.
a. 34
b. 136
c. 141
d. 306
ANS: c
Calculateas follows: carohydrate provides 4 kcal/G, protein provides 4kcal/G, and fat
provides 9 kcal/G. therefore:
30gcarohydrate 4 kcal/G =120 kcal
3 gprotein 4 kcal/G =12 kcal
1g fat 9 kcal/G =9 kcal
= 141 total kcal (120 kcal + 12 kcal + 9 kcal)
