Answers 100% Solved | Graded A+
T/F: Compared to amylopectin, amylose is branched and contains alpha-1-
6 bonds at its branch points. - ✔✔False. Compared to amylose,
amylopectin is branched and contains alpha-1-6 bonds at its branch points.
T/F: Compared to amylopectin, an oligosaccharide is longer and contains
less prevalent alpha 1-6 bonds. - ✔✔False. Compared to amylopectin, an
oligosaccharide is shorter and contains more prevalent alpha 1-6 bonds.
T/F: Compared to amylopectin, glycogen is more branched, and also has
alpha 1-6 bonds at its branch points. - ✔✔True
T/F: Trans fatty acids have lower melting points than cis fatty acids,
meaning trans fatty acids are more likely to be liquid at room temperature. -
✔✔False. Cis fatty acids have lower melting points than trans fatty acids,
meaning cis fatty acids are more likely to be liquid at room temperature.
T/F: In individuals with PKU, since proline cannot be converted to
tryptophan because of the mutation in proline hydroxylase, tryptophan is
,©JOSHCLAY 2024/2025. YEAR PUBLISHED 2024.
conditionally essential in these individuals. - ✔✔False. In individuals with
PKU, since phenylalanine cannot be converted to tyrosine because of the
mutation in phenylalanine hydroxylase, tyrosine is conditionally essential in
these individuals.
T/F: Individuals with PKU need to consume a high protein diet and avoid
consuming the amino acid advantame, because it can be broken down to
the amino acid proline. - ✔✔False. Individuals with PKU need to consume
a low protein diet and avoid consuming the alternative sweetener
aspartame, because it can be broken down to the amino acid
phenylalanine.
T/F: A product that contains inulin (oligofructose) and bifidobacterium could
be considered a symbiotic. - ✔✔True
T/F: In the stomach, pancreatic lipase and amylase digest lipid and protein,
respectively. - ✔✔False. In the stomach, gastric lipase and pepsin digest
triglyceride and protein, respectively.
T/F: Since high-fructose corn syrup contains free fructose, it will result in
more fructose being available for uptake and absorption than sucrose. -
✔✔False. High-fructose corn syrup contains free fructose, it will result in
,©JOSHCLAY 2024/2025. YEAR PUBLISHED 2024.
approximately the same amount fructose being available for uptake and
absorption than sucrose.
T/F: A limiting amino acid is an essential amino acid that is present in
inadequate amount in a protein preventing it from being a complete protein.
- ✔✔True
T/F: Heartburn results from a leaky pyloric sphincter, which allows gastric
fluid to enter the duodenum. - ✔✔False. Heartburn results from a leaky
lower esophageal sphincter, which allows gastric fluid to enter the
esophagus.
T/F: Maramus results from inadequate protein, but adequate caloric intake
and is characterized by an extended abdomen. - ✔✔False. Kwashiorkor
results from inadequate protein, but adequate caloric intake and is
characterized by an extended abdomen.
T/F: Complementary proteins provide the essential amino acid found in
inadequate amounts in the other protein, thus complementing one another.
- ✔✔True
T/F: Fermentable, viscous fiberis readily excreted in feces and also
increases stool bulk and transit time thus decreasing constipation and

colon cancer risk. - ✔✔False. Nonfermentable, nonviscous fiber is readily
excreted in feces and also increases stool bulk and transit time thus
decreasing constipation and colon cancer risk.
T/F: Mannitol (a sugar alcohol), is a poor option for use in products like
chewing gum because it is readily fermented by bacteria in the mouth,
decreasing acid production, and thus reducing cavities. - ✔✔False.
Mannitol (a sugar alcohol), is a good option for use in products like chewing
gum because it is not fermented by bacteria in the mouth, decreasing acid
production, and thus reducing cavities.
T/F: Glucose is the sweetest monosaccharide, while fructose is seldom
found free in nature. - ✔✔False. Fructose is the sweetest monosaccharide,
while galactose is seldom found free in nature.
T/F: Maltose is a complex carbohydrate of glucose-galactose bonded
together with a beta bond. - ✔✔False. Maltose is a simple carbohydrate of
glucose-glucose bonded together with an alpha bond.
T/F: Eicosanoids produced from essential omega-6 fatty acid longic acid
elongated fatty acids are less inflammatory than those produced from the
essential omega-3 fatty acid beta-longeleic acid elongated fatty acids. -
