GRADED A+ (BRAND NEW VISION)
pregnant women require twice the amount of water than their pre-pregnancy needs -
ANS-false
consumption of whey protein results in an increase in metabolic rate - ANS-true
relative fat utilization increases with increasing exercise intensity - ANS-false
all the essential amino acids can be provided with a strict vegetarian diet - ANS-true
a well conditioned long distance athlete uses more carbs as a fuel compared to an
unconditioned individual running at the same spped - ANS-false
all proteins in the diet will increase rate of muscle protein synthesis - ANS-false
aging is associated with an increase in the need for protein, despite a lower need for
calories - ANS-true
vitamin C, B12, and folate function as co-factors for energy metabolism - ANS-false
in the gut, dietary lipids facilitate absorption of fat soluble vitamins from the diet - ANS-
true
symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome are transient and resolve quickly after birth without
treatment - ANS-false
vitamin A (retinol) must be activated in the cell into retinoic acid to regulate gene
expression - ANS-true
all healthy pregnancies involve a weight gain of 25-35 lbs - ANS-false
Kwashiorkor (protein-calorie malnutrition) is different from well adapted starvation
(marasmus) in many ways, including reduced preservation of lean tissue mass - ANS-
true
metabolic"fitness" is a strong negative risk factor for cardiovascular disease at all levels
of body weight - ANS-false
, metabolic "fitness" in a person is incompatible with high amounts of body fat, is not
present if an individual is obese and is a genetic characteristic that remains relatively
constant throughout life - ANS-false
obesity has reached high proportions only in wealthy countries and is still unusual in
children - ANS-false
the process of carcinogenesis is believed to have a time frame of decades in humans
and exhibits a strong epidemiologic inverse relationship with fruit and vegetable intake -
ANS-true
metabolic syndrome is associated with similar risk for CVD as high blood pressure,
obesity or high blood triglyceride levels and is irreversible - ANS-false
the body's adaptations to starvation allows a person to survive about 30-40 days without
food, rather than being at risk for death after 2-3 weeks - ANS-false
metabolic fitness can be achieved by exercise in some individuals without changing
body weight: although, body composition may be altered and may influence risk for
cardiovascular disease at any level of obesity - ANS-true
ATP is generated in the body - ANS-by converting carbon into CO2 and O2 into H2O in
mitochondria
Which of the following can be metabolized into acetyl-CoA by humans? - ANS-glucose,
some amino acids, fatty acids
Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Mediterranean diet? - ANS-None of
the above
The dietary term "essential" refers to - ANS-a nutrient vital for health but cannot be
made by the body or cannot be made in sufficient quantities, so must be supplied by the
diet
interaction between genetics and diet - ANS-Diet and lifestyle can often, but not always,
overcome genetic predisposition to disease
Nutrient density refers to the - ANS-nutrient content related to total calories
Which is/are true about trans fatty acids? - ANS-They are quantitatively minor in nature,
raise cholesterol levels, occur in larger amounts in human made products, hydrogen oils
creates trans bonds
Which is/are true about phospholipids (PL)? - ANS-All of the above
