C. Physics.
D. Pharmacology.
E. Microbiology.
F. Physiology.
Ans>> b dif: easy ref: p. 6 msc: type of question: knowledge
Rationale:
, Biochemistry explains how nutrients are transformed and utilized in the body at the cellular and
molecular level. It connects the chemical composition of nutrients to their biological roles, such as
energy production and enzyme function, making it essential for understanding how nutrition supports
health.
3. The body of scientific knowledge related to nutritional requirements of human growth, maintenance,
activity, and reproduction is known as:
A. Physiology.
B. Nutrition science.
C. Biochemistry.
D. Dietetics.
