d. registered dietitian. r
ANS: D r
The registered dietitian is the nutrition expert registered with the Commission of Dietetic
r r r r r r r r r r r r
Registration (CDR), the certifying agency of Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Registered
r r r r r r r r r r r r
dietitians are the only professionals who have met strict educational and professional prerequisites
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
and passed a national registration examination, which would properly prepare them to conduct a

r r r r r r r r r r r r r
a. Proteins can be a primary fuel source even if there is adequate carbohydrate intake.
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
b. Proteins are a necessary nutrient to provide energy for the body in times of stress.
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
c. Proteins can be used as coenzyme factors during cell metabolism.
r r r r r r r r r
d. Proteins are essential to tissue building and repair within the body.
r r r r r r r r r r
ANS: D r
The primary function of proteins is to provide amino acids, which are the building units necessary
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
to build and repair tissues within the body. This is a constant process that ensures adequate growth
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
and maintenance of tissues for a strong body.

r r r r r r r r r r r
requirements. The approximate number of kilocalories per day from fat his diet should provide is

b. 100 to 300 r r
c. 500 to 800 r r
d. 900 to 1200 r r

Fat should provide no more than 20% to 35% of the total kilocalories per day, so for a 2000-kcal diet
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
400 to 700 kcal should be provided.

, 7. The body’s main storage form of carbohydrate is
r r r r r r r
a. glycogen.
b. glycerol.
c. glucagon.
d. glucose.
ANS: A r
Glycogen is a polysaccharide that is the main storage form of carbohydrate in the human body. It is
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
mainly stored in the liver and to a lesser extent in muscle tissue.

kcal/g. Therefore:
r r
30 g carbohydrate ´ 4 kcal/g = 120 kcal
r r r r r r r r
3 g protein ´ 4 kcal/g = 12 kcal
r r r r r r r r
1 g fat ´ 9 kcal/g = 9 kcal
