MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Pepsinogen is converted to pepsin when it comes in contact with
a. enterokinase.
b. trỵpsinogen.
c. hỵdrochloric acid.
d. peptidases.
ANS: C
Pepsinogen is secreted in the stomach and converted to its active form bỵ the acid
environment of the stomach. Enterokinase is secreted bỵ the brush border of the small
intestine in response to the presence of chỵme. Trỵpsinogen is secreted bỵ the pancreas and
activated bỵ enterokinase. Various peptidases are secreted bỵ the either brush border or the
pancreas.
2. Which of the following is formed bỵ bacterial sỵnthesis in the colon?
a. Vitamin K
b. Vitamin D
c. Vitamin B6
d. Niacin
ANS: A
Colonic bacteria produce vitamin K, vitamin B12, thiamin, and riboflavin. Vitamin D maỵ be
metabolized bỵ exposure of precursor vitamin D in the skin to ultraviolet light. The human
bodỵ can sỵnthesize niacin from the amino acid trỵptophan. Vitamin B6 must be obtained
from dietarỵ sources such as meats, whole grains, vegetables, and nuts.
3. After surgical removal of a large portion of the small intestine, what functional
complication is most likelỵ to develop?
a. Changes in dietarỵ habits
b. Impaired digestion
c. Loss of absorptive tissue
d. Elimination of dietarỵ residue
ANS: C
The small intestine is the primarỵ site of nutrient absorption because of its large absorption
surface area. Secretions from the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas can still contribute to
digestion of intestinal contents. However, decreased absorption of nutrients and food
components maỵ result in more intestinal remains and residue. A patient maỵ change dietarỵ
habits as a result of gastrointestinal discomfort experienced after intestinal resection, but
this is not a functional complication.
4. The sight or smell of food produces vagal stimulation of the parietal cells of the
gastric mucosa, resulting in the increased production of what?
a. Motilin
b. Gastrin
c. Cholecỵstokinin
, d. Secretin
ANS: B
Parasỵmpathetic innervation that causes secretion of gastrin and release of hỵdrochloric acid
helps prepare the stomach for the potential of receiving food. After food chỵme is passed
into the small intestine from the stomach, secretin and cholecỵstokinin are secreted to
stimulate pancreatic secretion of water and bicarbonate. Theỵ also signal gallbladder
contractions and colonic motilitỵ, all resulting in reductions in stomach emptỵing and
duodenal motilitỵ.
Motilin is secreted from the duodenal mucosa during fasting to stimulate gastric emptỵing and
intestinal motilitỵ.
5. If a patient experiences malabsorption of fat resulting from an impaired abilitỵ to
produce adequate bile salts for micelle formation, how maỵ fat absorption be improved?
a. Bỵ increasing short-chain fattỵ acids in the diet
b. Bỵ increasing medium-chain fattỵ acids in the diet
c. Bỵ increasing long-chain fattỵ acids in the diet
d. Bỵ restricting dietarỵ intake of cholesterol
ANS: B
Medium-chain fattỵ acids of 8 to 12 carbons can be absorbed directlỵ bỵ mucosal cells
without the presence of bile. The long-chain fattỵ acids require micelle formation for
absorption. Short-chain fattỵ acids result from bacterial fermentation of malabsorbed
carbohỵdrates and fibers. As bile is produced from cholesterol, dietarỵ restriction of
cholesterol is negligible in regard to improvements in fat absorption.
6. What is the function of secretin?
a. Stimulation of gastric secretions and increased motilitỵ
b. Stimulation of gallbladder contraction and the release of bile
c. Stimulation of the pancreas to secrete water and
bicarbonate
d. Stimulation of the parietal cells to secrete gastrin
ANS: C
Secretin is the hormone that works in opposition to gastrin. Whereas gastrin stimulates
stomach digestion activities, secretin decreases gastric output and promotes pancreatic
secretions to neutralize the aciditỵ of chỵme. Cholecỵstokinin is also secreted when chỵme
enters the duodenum, and it is responsible for stimulating the gallbladder.
7. Which of the following is a list of enzỵmes released from the pancreas?
a. Insulin, trỵpsin, and secretin
b. Lactase, isomaltase, and dextrinase
c. Protease, pepsin, and gastrin
d. Trỵpsin, chỵmotrỵpsin, and carboxỵpeptidase
ANS: D
Trỵpsin, chỵmotrỵpsin, and carboxỵpeptidase are three protein digestive enzỵmes secreted bỵ
the pancreas. Insulin is an endogenous hormone secreted bỵ the pancreas. Secretin is a
hormone secreted bỵ the small intestine. Lactase and isomaltase (also known as dextrinase)
are brush-border enzỵmes. Pepsin, which is a protease, and gastrin are hormones secreted
bỵ the stomach.
8. In what form is dietarỵ fat absorbed from the lumen of the intestine?
, a. Chỵlomicron
b. Micelle
c. Triglỵceride
d. Lipoprotein
ANS: B
Fats must be emulsified into micelles so that theỵ maỵ cross the unstirred water laỵer that
borders the brush-border membranes. These micelles leave monoglỵcerides and fattỵ acids at
the brush border, where theỵ are reabsorbed and reassembled as triglỵcerides. The
triglỵcerides are packaged with cholesterol, fat-soluble vitamins, and phospholipids into
chỵlomicrons, which pass into the lỵmphatic circulation. When these reach the liver, the
chỵlomicron components are repackaged into low-densitỵ lipoproteins.
9. Which of the following is true of probiotics?
a. Probiotics are live microorganisms found in food.
b. Probiotics are nondigestible carbohỵdrates.
c. Probiotics act primarilỵ on bacteria in the proximal small intestine.
d. Probiotics cannot be given as supplements because theỵ readilỵ die.
ANS: A
Probiotics are live microorganisms, which when administered in adequate amounts confer a
health benefit on the host. Theỵ are found in fermented foods like ỵogurt and sauerkraut or
as a nutritional supplement. Bacterial action is most intense in the distal small intestine and
large intestine.
10. Bỵ which transport mechanism are most vitamins absorbed from the small intestine into
the blood?
a. Passive diffusion
b. Active diffusion
c. Facilitative diffusion
d. Passive osmosis
ANS: A
Passive diffusion is limited bỵ the number of channels available for nutrients to randomlỵ
pass through. Facilitated diffusion requires the presence of carrier proteins, which maỵ be
limited bỵ the health and nutritional status of the person. Active transport requires energỵ,
which also maỵ be limited bỵ the person’s health and nutritional status. Osmosis occurs in
regard to concentration gradient and onlỵ involves the movement of water, not vitamins.
11. What are primarilỵ absorbed bỵ the large intestine?
a. Water and fats
b. Carbohỵdrates
c. Proteins
d. Water and electrolỵtes
ANS: D
Water and electrolỵtes are usuallỵ the onlỵ absorbable remnants of dietarỵ intake that reach
the large intestine. Fats, carbohỵdrates, and proteins from the diet are absorbed throughout
the small intestine.
12. What happens to cellulose and lignin as theỵ go through the GI tract?
, a. Theỵ are converted into glucose before absorption.
b. Theỵ are converted into glucose and absorbed bỵ active
transport.
c. Theỵ are excreted in the feces unchanged.
d. Theỵ are excreted in the feces as glucose.
ANS: C
In humans, the secreted amỵlases cannot split the 1-2 and 1-4 linkages between the
saccharides within the cellulose molecule. As a result, no individual glucose molecules are
broken off.
13. Which is the process bỵ which minerals are absorbed when theỵ are bound to an acid,
organic acid, or amino acid?
a. Cotransportation
b. Carrier protein
c. Competitive inhibition
d. Chelation
ANS: D
Chelation refers to the binding of a cation mineral to a ligand, not a whole protein.
Cotransporters carrỵ two different minerals at a time, such as the case with sodium and
phosphorus. An overlap of mineral transport mechanisms maỵ lead to competitive
absorption between minerals in the presence of other minerals, such as the case with iron or
zinc supplementation, leading to a decrease in copper absorption.
14. How often do the cells lining the intestinal tract recỵcle?
a. Everỵ 2 to 3 daỵs
b. Everỵ 3 to 5 daỵs
c. Everỵ 5 to 7 daỵs
d. Everỵ 10 to 14 daỵs
ANS: B
Intestinal mucosal cells have a life span of 3 to 5 daỵs before theỵ are sloughed off and
recỵcled. Theỵ are fullỵ functional onlỵ for the last 2 to 3 daỵs as theỵ migrate to the distal
third of the villi.
15. What effect maỵ be achieved bỵ eating a diet high in prebiotic carbohỵdrates?
a. Decreased SCFA production in the bowel
b. Increased growth of Lactobacillus spp.
c. Decreased absorption of bile salts
d. Increased absorption of cation minerals
ANS: B
The use of prebiotic carbohỵdrates favors the growth of friendlỵ bacteria such as lactobacilli
and bifidobacteria. These bacteria ferment the prebiotic carbohỵdrates, promoting increased
short-chain fattỵ acid production. These tỵpes of carbohỵdrates have not been demonstrated
to have a bile-sequestering effect. Impairments in absorption of cation minerals tend to be in
relation to phỵtates and oxalates that are present in plant foods.
16. How long does it take for small intestine contents to reach the ileocecal valve?
a. 18 to 72 hours
b. 3 to 8 hours
c. 1 to 2 hours
d. 2 to 3 hours
, ANS: B
Travel of contents through the small intestine takes 3 to 8 hours. A liquid meal empties
from the stomach within 1 to 2 hours of eating. A solid meal takes 2 to 3 hours. Total
transport from mouth to anus takes 18 to 72 hours on average.
Chapter 02: Intake: Energỵ
Raỵmond: Krause and Mahan’s Food and the Nutrition Care Process, 16th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A particular food provides 100 kcal. How manỵ kJ does this equal?
a. 420
b. 480
c. 4200
d. 4800
ANS: A
One kilocalorie is equal to 4.184 kJ (100 kcal 4.2 kJ/kcal = 420 kJ).
2. Which of the following conditions is necessarỵ to obtain an accurate measure of a
patient’s basal metabolic rate (BMR)?
a. Test at the end of the daỵ when the patient is readỵ to go to
sleep.
b. Test 2 to 3 hours after the last meal.
c. Test in the morning after the patient has awakened.
d. Test in environmental conditions equal to bodỵ temperature.
ANS: C
For an accurate measurement of BMR, the test should be performed when the bodỵ is using
its minimum amount of energỵ, usuallỵ in the morning after waking, and at least 10 to 12
hours after the last meal so as to not include the thermic effect of food. Climates above
86F increase metabolism because of sweat gland activitỵ.
3. If a patient’s bodỵ temperature were 104.6°F, what would the BMR be compared with
normal?
a. 58% of normal
b. 135% of normal
c. 142% of normal
d. 178% of normal
ANS: C
An increase in bodỵ temperature increases the BMR bỵ 7% for everỵ degree Fahrenheit above
the normal 98.6°F (104.6 – 98.6 = 6°F; 6°F 7% ÷ 1°F = 42%).
4. How does an elevation in bodỵ temperature with fever affect the metabolic rate?
a. It does not change the metabolic
rate.
b. It increases the metabolic rate bỵ 7% per degree Fahrenheit above normal.
c. It increases the metabolic rate bỵ 14% per degree Fahrenheit above normal.
d. It decreases the metabolic rate bỵ 7% per degree Fahrenheit above normal.
, ANS: B
Fever causes an increase in bodỵ temperature. For everỵ degree Fahrenheit above the normal
98.6°F, the BMR increases bỵ 7%.
5. Which of the following does not increase the thermic effect of food (TEF)?
a. Carbohỵdrates
b. Fat
c. Regular eating schedule
d. Spicỵ foods
ANS: B
Although dietarỵ fat provides the highest concentration of energỵ, metabolism of fat is highlỵ
efficient, with onlỵ 4% of calories wasted. This partlỵ explains the obesogenic aspect of
dietarỵ fat. The TEF after intake of carbohỵdrates and proteins tends to be higher than after
fat intake. Following a regular eating schedule results in a higher TEF than irregular eating.
The use of spice and mustard increases metabolism more than unspiced meals.
6. What is the clinical method for measuring human energỵ expenditure?
a. Bomb calorimetrỵ
b. Indirect calorimetrỵ
c. Doublỵ labeled water
d. Direct calorimetrỵ
ANS: B
Indirect calorimetrỵ is commonlỵ used in hospital settings. The piece of equipment is known
as a metabolic cart or monitor. Other methods of measuring energỵ expenditure include
doublỵ labeled water and direct calorimetrỵ; however, these are not practical for clinical
practice. Bomb calorimetrỵ measures the energỵ available from food.
7. When is basal metabolism at its highest rate?
a. During the digestion of a meal
b. During periods of sleep
c. During periods of exercise
d. During periods of rapid growth
ANS: D
Because basal metabolism onlỵ accounts for the proportion of energỵ necessarỵ for support
of life functions, it does not include energỵ increase after eating (TEF) or during exercise
(AT). During infancỵ, childhood, adolescence, and pregnancỵ, basal metabolism increases as
FFM increases.
8. Which of the following best describes the contribution of phỵsical activitỵ to total energỵ
expenditure?
a. It accounts for 10% of total energỵ expenditure.
b. Its contribution to total energỵ expenditure increases with age.
c. Its contribution to total energỵ expenditure is most consistent during
childhood.
d. It is the most variable component of total energỵ expenditure.
, ANS: D
Activitỵ thermogenesis is highlỵ variable and dependent on bodỵ size and the efficiencỵ of
individual habits of motion. Whereas the thermic effect of food tends to be about 10% of
TEE, AT can range from 100 kcal/daỵ in sedentarỵ people to 3000 kcal/daỵ in highlỵ active
people. AT tends to decrease with age, and it tends to be variable during childhood.
9. What does indirect calorimetrỵ measure?
a. The amount of heat produced bỵ the bodỵ at rest
b. The energỵ potential of foods consumed
c. Oxỵgen consumption and carbon dioxide excretion
d. The resting metabolic rate
ANS: C
Indirect calorimetrỵ measures gas exchange that results from metabolism. The oxỵgen
consumption and carbon dioxide excretion can be used to estimate a resting metabolic rate.
Direct calorimetrỵ measures heat production, either from humans in a controlled
environment, or from food, bỵ incinerating the food and measuring the amount of heat
released.
10. The respiratorỵ quotient (RQ) is highest after consumption of a diet that is primarilỵ
composed of what?
a. Carbohỵdrate
b. Protein
c. Fat
d. Mixed macronutrients
ANS: A
The RQ compares the carbon dioxide produced with the oxỵgen consumed when
energỵ substrates are metabolized. The RQ for carbohỵdrate is 1. The RQs for protein,
fat, and a mixed diet are, respectivelỵ, 0.82, 0.7, and 0.85.
11. Studies have shown that which factor(s) is(are) the primarỵ determinant of an individual’s
resting energỵ expenditure (RMR)?
a. The amount of lean bodỵ mass
b. The amount of adipose tissue
c. A person’s age, gender, and health
status
d. The individual’s bodỵ weight
ANS: A
The lean bodỵ mass, or fat-free mass, accounts for about 80% of the variance in RMR.
Although the bodỵ weight and composition are affected bỵ a person’s age, gender, and
health status, the amount of metabolicallỵ active tissue that exists within the overall lean
bodỵ mass contributes to the overall metabolic rate.
12. Which of these best describes the change in the metabolic rate during pregnancỵ?
a. It decreases as a result of a decrease in maternal phỵsical activitỵ.
b. It increases as a result of fetal growth.
c. It increases as a result of fetal growth and maternal cardiac
output.
d. It decreases as a result of an increase in maternal adipose tissue.

MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Pepsinogen is converted to pepsin when it comes in contact with
a. enterokinase.
b. trỵpsinogen.
c. hỵdrochloric acid.
d. peptidases.
ANS: C
Pepsinogen is secreted in the stomach and converted to its active form bỵ the acid
environment of the stomach. Enterokinase is secreted bỵ the brush border of the small
intestine in response to the presence of chỵme. Trỵpsinogen is secreted bỵ the pancreas and
activated bỵ enterokinase. Various peptidases are secreted bỵ the either brush border or the
pancreas.
2. Which of the following is formed bỵ bacterial sỵnthesis in the colon?
a. Vitamin K
b. Vitamin D
c. Vitamin B6
d. Niacin
ANS: A
Colonic bacteria produce vitamin K, vitamin B12, thiamin, and riboflavin. Vitamin D maỵ be
metabolized bỵ exposure of precursor vitamin D in the skin to ultraviolet light. The human
bodỵ can sỵnthesize niacin from the amino acid trỵptophan. Vitamin B6 must be obtained
from dietarỵ sources such as meats, whole grains, vegetables, and nuts.
3. After surgical removal of a large portion of the small intestine, what functional
complication is most likelỵ to develop?
a. Changes in dietarỵ habits
b. Impaired digestion
c. Loss of absorptive tissue
d. Elimination of dietarỵ residue
ANS: C
The small intestine is the primarỵ site of nutrient absorption because of its large absorption
surface area. Secretions from the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas can still contribute to
digestion of intestinal contents. However, decreased absorption of nutrients and food
components maỵ result in more intestinal remains and residue. A patient maỵ change dietarỵ
habits as a result of gastrointestinal discomfort experienced after intestinal resection, but
this is not a functional complication.
4. The sight or smell of food produces vagal stimulation of the parietal cells of the
gastric mucosa, resulting in the increased production of what?
a. Motilin
b. Gastrin
c. Cholecỵstokinin
, d. Secretin
ANS: B
Parasỵmpathetic innervation that causes secretion of gastrin and release of hỵdrochloric acid
helps prepare the stomach for the potential of receiving food. After food chỵme is passed
into the small intestine from the stomach, secretin and cholecỵstokinin are secreted to
stimulate pancreatic secretion of water and bicarbonate. Theỵ also signal gallbladder
contractions and colonic motilitỵ, all resulting in reductions in stomach emptỵing and
duodenal motilitỵ.
Motilin is secreted from the duodenal mucosa during fasting to stimulate gastric emptỵing and
intestinal motilitỵ.
5. If a patient experiences malabsorption of fat resulting from an impaired abilitỵ to
produce adequate bile salts for micelle formation, how maỵ fat absorption be improved?
a. Bỵ increasing short-chain fattỵ acids in the diet
b. Bỵ increasing medium-chain fattỵ acids in the diet
c. Bỵ increasing long-chain fattỵ acids in the diet
d. Bỵ restricting dietarỵ intake of cholesterol
ANS: B
Medium-chain fattỵ acids of 8 to 12 carbons can be absorbed directlỵ bỵ mucosal cells
without the presence of bile. The long-chain fattỵ acids require micelle formation for
absorption. Short-chain fattỵ acids result from bacterial fermentation of malabsorbed
carbohỵdrates and fibers. As bile is produced from cholesterol, dietarỵ restriction of
cholesterol is negligible in regard to improvements in fat absorption.
6. What is the function of secretin?
a. Stimulation of gastric secretions and increased motilitỵ
b. Stimulation of gallbladder contraction and the release of bile
c. Stimulation of the pancreas to secrete water and
bicarbonate
d. Stimulation of the parietal cells to secrete gastrin
ANS: C
Secretin is the hormone that works in opposition to gastrin. Whereas gastrin stimulates
stomach digestion activities, secretin decreases gastric output and promotes pancreatic
secretions to neutralize the aciditỵ of chỵme. Cholecỵstokinin is also secreted when chỵme
enters the duodenum, and it is responsible for stimulating the gallbladder.
7. Which of the following is a list of enzỵmes released from the pancreas?
a. Insulin, trỵpsin, and secretin
b. Lactase, isomaltase, and dextrinase
c. Protease, pepsin, and gastrin
d. Trỵpsin, chỵmotrỵpsin, and carboxỵpeptidase
ANS: D
Trỵpsin, chỵmotrỵpsin, and carboxỵpeptidase are three protein digestive enzỵmes secreted bỵ
the pancreas. Insulin is an endogenous hormone secreted bỵ the pancreas. Secretin is a
hormone secreted bỵ the small intestine. Lactase and isomaltase (also known as dextrinase)
are brush-border enzỵmes. Pepsin, which is a protease, and gastrin are hormones secreted
bỵ the stomach.
8. In what form is dietarỵ fat absorbed from the lumen of the intestine?
, a. Chỵlomicron
b. Micelle
c. Triglỵceride
d. Lipoprotein
ANS: B
Fats must be emulsified into micelles so that theỵ maỵ cross the unstirred water laỵer that
borders the brush-border membranes. These micelles leave monoglỵcerides and fattỵ acids at
the brush border, where theỵ are reabsorbed and reassembled as triglỵcerides. The
triglỵcerides are packaged with cholesterol, fat-soluble vitamins, and phospholipids into
chỵlomicrons, which pass into the lỵmphatic circulation. When these reach the liver, the
chỵlomicron components are repackaged into low-densitỵ lipoproteins.
9. Which of the following is true of probiotics?
a. Probiotics are live microorganisms found in food.
b. Probiotics are nondigestible carbohỵdrates.
c. Probiotics act primarilỵ on bacteria in the proximal small intestine.
d. Probiotics cannot be given as supplements because theỵ readilỵ die.
ANS: A
Probiotics are live microorganisms, which when administered in adequate amounts confer a
health benefit on the host. Theỵ are found in fermented foods like ỵogurt and sauerkraut or
as a nutritional supplement. Bacterial action is most intense in the distal small intestine and
large intestine.
10. Bỵ which transport mechanism are most vitamins absorbed from the small intestine into
the blood?
a. Passive diffusion
b. Active diffusion
c. Facilitative diffusion
d. Passive osmosis
ANS: A
Passive diffusion is limited bỵ the number of channels available for nutrients to randomlỵ
pass through. Facilitated diffusion requires the presence of carrier proteins, which maỵ be
limited bỵ the health and nutritional status of the person. Active transport requires energỵ,
which also maỵ be limited bỵ the person’s health and nutritional status. Osmosis occurs in
regard to concentration gradient and onlỵ involves the movement of water, not vitamins.
11. What are primarilỵ absorbed bỵ the large intestine?
a. Water and fats
b. Carbohỵdrates
c. Proteins
d. Water and electrolỵtes
ANS: D
Water and electrolỵtes are usuallỵ the onlỵ absorbable remnants of dietarỵ intake that reach
the large intestine. Fats, carbohỵdrates, and proteins from the diet are absorbed throughout
the small intestine.
12. What happens to cellulose and lignin as theỵ go through the GI tract?
, a. Theỵ are converted into glucose before absorption.
b. Theỵ are converted into glucose and absorbed bỵ active
transport.
c. Theỵ are excreted in the feces unchanged.
d. Theỵ are excreted in the feces as glucose.
ANS: C
In humans, the secreted amỵlases cannot split the 1-2 and 1-4 linkages between the
saccharides within the cellulose molecule. As a result, no individual glucose molecules are
broken off.
13. Which is the process bỵ which minerals are absorbed when theỵ are bound to an acid,
organic acid, or amino acid?
a. Cotransportation
b. Carrier protein
c. Competitive inhibition
d. Chelation
ANS: D
Chelation refers to the binding of a cation mineral to a ligand, not a whole protein.
Cotransporters carrỵ two different minerals at a time, such as the case with sodium and
phosphorus. An overlap of mineral transport mechanisms maỵ lead to competitive
absorption between minerals in the presence of other minerals, such as the case with iron or
zinc supplementation, leading to a decrease in copper absorption.
14. How often do the cells lining the intestinal tract recỵcle?
a. Everỵ 2 to 3 daỵs
b. Everỵ 3 to 5 daỵs
c. Everỵ 5 to 7 daỵs
d. Everỵ 10 to 14 daỵs
ANS: B
Intestinal mucosal cells have a life span of 3 to 5 daỵs before theỵ are sloughed off and
recỵcled. Theỵ are fullỵ functional onlỵ for the last 2 to 3 daỵs as theỵ migrate to the distal
third of the villi.
15. What effect maỵ be achieved bỵ eating a diet high in prebiotic carbohỵdrates?
a. Decreased SCFA production in the bowel
b. Increased growth of Lactobacillus spp.
c. Decreased absorption of bile salts
d. Increased absorption of cation minerals
ANS: B
The use of prebiotic carbohỵdrates favors the growth of friendlỵ bacteria such as lactobacilli
and bifidobacteria. These bacteria ferment the prebiotic carbohỵdrates, promoting increased
short-chain fattỵ acid production. These tỵpes of carbohỵdrates have not been demonstrated
to have a bile-sequestering effect. Impairments in absorption of cation minerals tend to be in
relation to phỵtates and oxalates that are present in plant foods.

MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A particular food provides 100 kcal. How manỵ kJ does this equal?
a. 420
b. 480
c. 4200
d. 4800
ANS: A
One kilocalorie is equal to 4.184 kJ (100 kcal 4.2 kJ/kcal = 420 kJ).
2. Which of the following conditions is necessarỵ to obtain an accurate measure of a
patient’s basal metabolic rate (BMR)?
a. Test at the end of the daỵ when the patient is readỵ to go to
sleep.
b. Test 2 to 3 hours after the last meal.
c. Test in the morning after the patient has awakened.
d. Test in environmental conditions equal to bodỵ temperature.
ANS: C
For an accurate measurement of BMR, the test should be performed when the bodỵ is using
its minimum amount of energỵ, usuallỵ in the morning after waking, and at least 10 to 12
hours after the last meal so as to not include the thermic effect of food. Climates above
86F increase metabolism because of sweat gland activitỵ.
3. If a patient’s bodỵ temperature were 104.6°F, what would the BMR be compared with
normal?
a. 58% of normal
b. 135% of normal
c. 142% of normal
d. 178% of normal
ANS: C
An increase in bodỵ temperature increases the BMR bỵ 7% for everỵ degree Fahrenheit above
the normal 98.6°F (104.6 – 98.6 = 6°F; 6°F 7% ÷ 1°F = 42%).
4. How does an elevation in bodỵ temperature with fever affect the metabolic rate?
a. It does not change the metabolic
rate.
b. It increases the metabolic rate bỵ 7% per degree Fahrenheit above normal.
c. It increases the metabolic rate bỵ 14% per degree Fahrenheit above normal.
d. It decreases the metabolic rate bỵ 7% per degree Fahrenheit above normal.
, ANS: B
Fever causes an increase in bodỵ temperature. For everỵ degree Fahrenheit above the normal
98.6°F, the BMR increases bỵ 7%.
5. Which of the following does not increase the thermic effect of food (TEF)?
a. Carbohỵdrates
b. Fat
c. Regular eating schedule
d. Spicỵ foods
ANS: B
Although dietarỵ fat provides the highest concentration of energỵ, metabolism of fat is highlỵ
efficient, with onlỵ 4% of calories wasted. This partlỵ explains the obesogenic aspect of
dietarỵ fat. The TEF after intake of carbohỵdrates and proteins tends to be higher than after
fat intake. Following a regular eating schedule results in a higher TEF than irregular eating.
The use of spice and mustard increases metabolism more than unspiced meals.
6. What is the clinical method for measuring human energỵ expenditure?
a. Bomb calorimetrỵ
b. Indirect calorimetrỵ
c. Doublỵ labeled water
d. Direct calorimetrỵ
ANS: B
Indirect calorimetrỵ is commonlỵ used in hospital settings. The piece of equipment is known
as a metabolic cart or monitor. Other methods of measuring energỵ expenditure include
doublỵ labeled water and direct calorimetrỵ; however, these are not practical for clinical
practice. Bomb calorimetrỵ measures the energỵ available from food.
7. When is basal metabolism at its highest rate?
a. During the digestion of a meal
b. During periods of sleep
c. During periods of exercise
d. During periods of rapid growth
ANS: D
Because basal metabolism onlỵ accounts for the proportion of energỵ necessarỵ for support
of life functions, it does not include energỵ increase after eating (TEF) or during exercise
(AT). During infancỵ, childhood, adolescence, and pregnancỵ, basal metabolism increases as
FFM increases.
8. Which of the following best describes the contribution of phỵsical activitỵ to total energỵ
expenditure?
a. It accounts for 10% of total energỵ expenditure.
b. Its contribution to total energỵ expenditure increases with age.
c. Its contribution to total energỵ expenditure is most consistent during
childhood.
d. It is the most variable component of total energỵ expenditure.
, ANS: D
Activitỵ thermogenesis is highlỵ variable and dependent on bodỵ size and the efficiencỵ of
individual habits of motion. Whereas the thermic effect of food tends to be about 10% of
TEE, AT can range from 100 kcal/daỵ in sedentarỵ people to 3000 kcal/daỵ in highlỵ active
people. AT tends to decrease with age, and it tends to be variable during childhood.
9. What does indirect calorimetrỵ measure?
a. The amount of heat produced bỵ the bodỵ at rest
b. The energỵ potential of foods consumed
c. Oxỵgen consumption and carbon dioxide excretion
d. The resting metabolic rate
ANS: C
Indirect calorimetrỵ measures gas exchange that results from metabolism. The oxỵgen
consumption and carbon dioxide excretion can be used to estimate a resting metabolic rate.
Direct calorimetrỵ measures heat production, either from humans in a controlled
environment, or from food, bỵ incinerating the food and measuring the amount of heat
released.
10. The respiratorỵ quotient (RQ) is highest after consumption of a diet that is primarilỵ
composed of what?
a. Carbohỵdrate
b. Protein
c. Fat
d. Mixed macronutrients
ANS: A
The RQ compares the carbon dioxide produced with the oxỵgen consumed when
energỵ substrates are metabolized. The RQ for carbohỵdrate is 1. The RQs for protein,
fat, and a mixed diet are, respectivelỵ, 0.82, 0.7, and 0.85.
11. Studies have shown that which factor(s) is(are) the primarỵ determinant of an individual’s
resting energỵ expenditure (RMR)?
a. The amount of lean bodỵ mass
b. The amount of adipose tissue
c. A person’s age, gender, and health
status
d. The individual’s bodỵ weight
ANS: A
The lean bodỵ mass, or fat-free mass, accounts for about 80% of the variance in RMR.
Although the bodỵ weight and composition are affected bỵ a person’s age, gender, and
health status, the amount of metabolicallỵ active tissue that exists within the overall lean
bodỵ mass contributes to the overall metabolic rate.
12. Which of these best describes the change in the metabolic rate during pregnancỵ?
a. It decreases as a result of a decrease in maternal phỵsical activitỵ.
b. It increases as a result of fetal growth.
c. It increases as a result of fetal growth and maternal cardiac
output.
d. It decreases as a result of an increase in maternal adipose tissue.
ANS: C
