ANSWERS
Question:
Why is important to discuss energy in a nutrition class?

D)Humans need energy to think.
E)All of the above are important reasons to study energy.
Answer:
E)All of the above are important reasons to study energy.
Question:
When traced back to the original source - the following energy sources are
"originally" from the sun.
A)The energy stored in plants as starch
B)The energy stored in oil that is pumped out of the earth
C)The energy in meat that is eaten for dinner
D)The energy that is stored as fat in adipose cells
E)All of the above energy stored were derived from photons from the sun
Answer:
E)All of the above energy stored were derived from photons from the sun
Question:
Fire, the internal combustion engine, and metabolism in humans have the
following in common.
A)They all require a fuel to provide energy
B)They all require oxygen
C)They all produce CO2
D) All of the above are true
Answer:
D)All of the above are true
Question:
Which is the basic mechanism how fire works?
A)Atoms in the fuel are split releasing enormous amounts of energy
B)Bonds between atoms in the fuel are split and oxygen carries away the
electrons and the carbon atoms of the fuel
C)The atoms are completely annilated and release energy
D)Hydrogen atoms merge to form lithium, a larger atom
Answer:
B) Bonds between atoms in the fuel are split and oxygen carries away the
electrons and the carbon atoms of the fuel
Question:
What are the Atwater Numbers for fat and gasoline, respectively?
A)Fat has 4 Kcal/gram; Gasoline has 9 Kcal/gram
, B) Fat has 9 Kcal/gram; gasoline has 20 Kcal/gram
C)Fat has 9 Kcal/gram; gasoline has 11 Kcal/gram
D)Fat has 20 Kcal/gram; gasoline has 9 Kcal/gram

Question:
The First Law of Thermodynamics says energy cannot be created nor
destroyed. What best explains this in humans.
A)If humans eat 2,000 Kcal in food on their plate, they will produce the
equivalent of 2,000 Kcal of heat or work
B)If humans eat 2,000 Kcal in food on their plate, they will produce the
equivalent of only 1,000 Kcal of heat or work
C)If humans eat 2,000 Kcal in food on their plate, they will produce the
equivalent of 5,000 Kcal of heat or work
D)The amount of Kcals released as heat or work in
humans depends upon what kinds of macronutrients the 2,000 Kcal on the
plate are made of.
Answer:
A)If humans eat 2,000 Kcal in food on their plate, they will produce the
equivalent of 2,000 Kcal of heat or work

A)The protein, collagen
B)The nulceic acid, deoxyribonucelic acid
C)The relatively small molecule, Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
D)The long chain fatty acid, oleic acid
