MULTIPLE CHOICE
ED
1. A physical science that contributes to understanding how nutrition relates to health and
well-being is
a. anatomy.
b. biochemistry.
GEc. physics.
d. pharmacology.
ANS: B
Biochemistry relates to the whole of physical health and body function. Whereas anatomy
EK
defines body structures, physics is more related to space and time. Pharmacology discusses
the science of drugs and medications.
2. The body of scientific knowledge related to nutritional requirements of human growth,
a. physiology.
b. nutrition science.
c. biochemistry.
_S
maintenance, activity, and reproduction is known as
d. dietetics.
ANS: B
TU
Nutrition science defines the nutrient requirements for body maintenance, growth, activity,
and reproduction. Physiology and biochemistry deal with how nutrition is related to physical
throughout the life cycle in health and disease.
3. The best source of nutrients is provided by
VI
health and body function. Dietetics is the health profession applying nutrition science
a. specific food combinations.
b. a variety of foods.
c. individual foods.
d. a variety of food supplements.
A?
ANS: B ?
A variety of foods will supply a wider range of nutrients to promote health. No one particular
food or food combination is required to ensure health. Humans have survived for centuries on
a wide variety of foods, depending on what was available and what the culture designated as
appropriate. Overuse of dietary supplements can cause nutrient deficiencies or excesses.
4. Macronutrients include
a. minerals.
b. proteins.
c. vitamins.
d. enzymes.
ANS: B
, Macronutrients are made up of carbohydrate, fats, and proteins. They supply energy and build
tissues. Minerals and vitamins (micronutrients) and enzymes are required in smaller quantities
M and help to regulate body processes.
5. Micronutrients include
EDa. fats.
b. proteins.
c. vitamins.
d. carbohydrates.
GE
ANS: C
Vitamins are nutrients that control and regulate cell metabolism. Fats, proteins, and
carbohydrates are macronutrients that supply energy to the body.
6. The sum of all chemical processes inside living cells of the body that sustain life and health is
known as
a. physiology.
b. digestion.
c. metabolism.
EK
d. nutrition.
ANS: C
_S
Metabolism is the overall process of how the body grows and maintains itself, breaks down
and reshapes tissue, and transforms energy to do its work. Digestion is the process of breaking
TU
down food into absorbable substances that can be used by the body. Physiology is the study of
how nutrition relates to our physical health and body function. Nutrition is the sum of the
processes involved in taking in food, releasing the nutrients it contains, and assimilating and
using these nutrients to provide energy, maintain body tissue, and regulate body metabolism.
7. A primary function of macronutrients in the body is to
a. supply energy.
b. regulate metabolic processes.
VI
c. maintain homeostasis.
d. control cellular activity.
ANS: A
A?
The functions of nutrients in general are to provide energy, build and repair body tissues and
structures, and regulate the metabolic processes that maintain homeostasis. But ?
macronutrients are specifically responsible for supplying the body with energy and building
tissue. Minerals and vitamins are necessary for maintaining cellular activity.
8. Nutrients interact in the body to regulate metabolic processes, to build and repair tissue, and to
a. provide energy.
b. control cellular waste.
c. control hormone levels.
d. regulate absorption.
ANS: A
