NUFD FINAL || CORRECT ANSWERS 100%.
difference between essential and non-essential nutrients correct answers essential are needed
from outside of the body (from the food) bc the body either cannot make them or cannot make
them in sufficient amounts.
non essential- are those made in the body, may also be absorbed by foods
definition of a calorie correct answers a unit of measure of the amount of energy in a food. not a
substance present in food, do not qualify as a nutrient. Calorie= kilocalorie= 1,000 cal
macronutrients /how many calories provide it correct answers needed in large quantity: carbon4,
protein4, lipids(fat)9, water
functional foods correct answers foods that contain physiologically active compounds that
provide health and benefits beyond their nutrient contributions
ex: lactose-free milk, cholesterol-free eggs
variety in diet correct answers no single food can provide all nutrients the body needs for optimal
health
choosing foods from different food groups and choosing different foods within each group
registered dietitain correct answers a food and nutrition expert who has met an academic and
professional requirement. trained to provide advice and counseling about food diet and nutrition
discretionary calories correct answers excess calories to enjoy once your required nutrients are
met. most can count towards soda, candy, and alcohol
factors involved in variation of DRI's correct answers estimated average requirements(EAR),
recommended dietary allowances (RDA), adequate intakes (Ais), tolerable upper intake levels:
for healthy people stay healthy, reduce chronic risk and prevent deficiencies
, difference between RDA and AI correct answers rda: nutrient intakes sufficient to meet the needs
of a healthy individuals within a gender and life-stage group.. amounts of needs and food
components that will meet the needs of most healthy people
AI correct answers nutrients intakes used when not enough data are available to set RDA.
estimation of amount needed to sustain health, based on what healthy people typically eat
why is a UL set in place for most vitamins/minerals correct answers ul is set for all sources,
supplements or supplements or fortified foods. maximum daily nutrient intakes unlikely to pose
health risk for almost all individuals within a gender or life-stage group
AMDR correct answers recommended protein, fat, carbohydrate intake ranges to decrease
disease risk and provide diet flexibility
10-35%- protein
45-65%- carbohydrate (majority of calories consumed)
20-35%- fat
function of the epiglottis correct answers to bypass the entrance of the lungs, the epiglottis closes
off your air passages so that you don't choke when you swallow
fibers role in digestion/absorption correct answers Since fibers are not absorbed, intestinal
bacteria ferment some fibers, producing water and gas and small fragments of fat that provide
energy to the cells of the colon
digestion vs absorption correct answers digestion- the process by which the indigestible food is
broken down into absorbable units
digestion- take apart
absorption- digested building block is now absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestines
and then transported to the cells, tissues, and organs in the body
