FNES 163: NUTRITION EXAM 2 | QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS | 2026 UPDATE | SOLVED 100% CORRECT!!
BMR decreases with age ________ Answer - 3-5% per decade after the age of
30
Simple carbohydrates consist of Answer - monosaccharides and disaccharides
monosaccharides consist of Answer - only a single sugar molecule
(glucose,fructose,galactose,ribose)
Disaccharides consist of Answer - 2 molecules of sugar joined together
( lactose, maltose,sucrose)
polysaccharides are Answer - long chains of glucose molecules(starch,
glycogen and most fibers)
Complex carbohydrates consist of Answer - polysaccharides
Carbohydrates Answer - An important energy source for nerve cells
(4kcal/gram)
Carbohydrates are composed of Answer - the atoms carbon, hydrogen, and
oxygen
, Insulin is a Answer - hormone secreted by the beta cells of pancreas (in the
response to increase blood levels of glucose *facillitates the uptake of glucose
by body cells)
Function of Insulin Answer - Stimulates the liver and muscles to take up
glucose and convert it to glycogen
If blood glucose levels are too high Answer - the pancreas releases insulin to
stimulate the liver to release LESS glucose
Glucagon is a Answer - hormone secreted by alpha cells of pancreas (in
response to decreased blood levels go glucose
*****Causes the breakdown of liver stores of glycogen into glucose**)
glucose is stored as glycogen in Answer - the liver and muscles (glycogenesis)
and stored as triglycerides in adipose tissue (lipogenesis)
insulin stimulates the storage of Answer - glucose in the body
glycolysis is Answer - glucagon stimulates liver to convert stored glycogen into
the glucose, which is released into the blood and transported to cells for
energy
gluconeogenesis is Answer - glucagon also assists in the breakdown of proteins
and the uptake of amino acids by the liver which creates glucose from amino
acids
soluble fiber Answer - dissolves in water and reduce risk for cardiovascular
disease and type 2 diabetes by lowering blood cholesterol and glucose levels
