CWRU NTRN 201 Exam 1 Study Guide QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS (100%
VERIFIED A
Appetite - (answer)our primarily psychological EXTERNAL drive to eat
Adequate Intake (AI) - (answer)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 intake.
Bicarbonate - (answer)Neutralizes stomach acid when it reaches the small intestine. Produced in the
pancreas and small intestine
Bile - (answer)Aids fat digestion in the small intestine by suspending fat in water using bile acids,
cholesterol, and phospholipids. Found in the liver (stored in the gallbladder)
Daily Value (DV) - (answer)nutrient standard used on the Nutrition Facts portion of the food label
desirable nutrition - (answer)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) - (answer)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 - (answer)a measurement that best describes the calorie content of a food. Is
determined by comparing the calorie (kcal) content with the weight of food.
essential nutrient - (answer)Has a biological function
Omission results in decline of function
Replenishing restores biological function

VERIFIED A
gastric juice - (answer)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) - (answer)Disease that results from stomach acid backing up
into the esophagus. The acid irritates the lining of the esophagus, causing pain.
Hunger - (answer)is primarily our physical, biological drive to eat and is controlled by INTERNAL body
mechanisms.
hypotheses - (answer)tentative explanations by a scientist to explain a phenomenon
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) - (answer)characterized by a combination of cramps, gassiness, bloating,
and irregular bowel function (diarrhea, constipation, or alternating episodes of both)
malnutrition - (answer)failing health that results from longstanding dietary practices that do not
coincide with nutritional needs. Can refer to either overnutrition or undernutrition.
Metabolism - (answer)chemical processes in the body by which energy is provided in use- ful forms and
vital activities are sustained.
moderation - (answer)providing enough but not too much of a substance so that you do not
overconsume nutrients
Nutrition - (answer)the science that links food to health and disease. It includes the processes bu which
the human organism ingests, digests, absorbs, transports, and excretes food substances
nutrient density - (answer)the ratio derived by dividing a food's nutrient content by its calorie content
Overnutrition - (answer)A state in which nutritional intake greatly exceeds the body's needs
