TOPIC 1: NUTRITIONAL BIOCHEMISTRY
7 Questions • 21.9% of Exam • Explores the six classes of nutrients and their biochemical roles.
QUESTION 1
6 classes of nutrients
Answer: Water, carbs, lipids, proteins (macronutrients) vitamins & minerals (micronutrients)
Rationale: The six classes of nutrients are categorized into macronutrients and micronutrients.
Macronutrients, required in larger quantities, include water, carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.
QUESTION 2
Carbs come in 3 forms
Answer: Monosaccharides: glucose, galactose, fructose
disaccharides: sucrose, maltose, lactose
polysaccharides: starch, glycogen, cellulose.
Rationale: Carbohydrates are classified into three main categories based on their molecular structure:
monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides are simple sugars that cannot be broken down
further, with glucose, galactose, and fructose being common examples.
QUESTION 3
Proteins are made of
Answer: Amino acids.
Rationale: Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid
residues. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, linked together by peptide bonds.
