Update / Already Graded
Appetite
Ans: our primarily psychological EXTERNAL drive to eat
Adequate Intake (AI)
Ans: A recommended intake value based on observed or
experimentally determined approximations or estimates of
nutrient intake by a group (or groups) og healthy people that is
assumed to be adequate; used when an RDA cannot be
determined. When set for a nutrient, aim for this int ake.
Bicarbonate
Ans: Neutralizes stomach acid when it reaches the small
intestine. Produced in the pancreas and small intestine

Daily Value (DV)
Ans: nutrient standard used on the Nutrition Facts portion of
the food label
desirable nutrition
Ans: The nutritional state for a particular nutrient is desirable
when body tissues have enough of the nutrient to support
normal metabolic functions and surplus stores that can be used
in times of increased need.
Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs)
Ans: Term used to encompass nutrient recommendations made
by the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine.
These include RDAs, AIs, EERs, and ULs.
energy density
Ans: a measurement that best describes the calorie content of

with the weight of food.

Ans: Has a biological function
Omission results in decline of function
Replenishing restores biological function
gastric juice
Ans: contains water, hydrochloric acid and enzymes. The acid
destroys the biological activity of proteins, converts inactive
digestive enzymes to their active form, partially digests food
protein, and makes dietary minerals soluble so that they can be
absorbed.
GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease)
Ans: Disease that results from stomach acid backing up into
the esophagus. The acid irritates the lining of the esophagus,
causing pain.
Hunger
Ans: is primarily our physical, biological drive to eat and is
