QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS 100%
CORRECT!!!
What is Nutrition?
The study of food, how it affects the body, and how it influences health.
What is Metabolism?
The process by which the body converts food into energy, which is then
carried to individual cells.
What are the Functions of Macronutrients?
Primary Role: Supply the body with energy.
Examples: Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids.
What are the Functions of Micronutrients?
Primary Role: Aid in the manufacture, repair, and maintenance of cells.
Do NOT provide energy.
Required only in small amounts.
Examples: Vitamins, minerals, and trace elements (such as iron, zinc, etc.).
What are Examples of Trace Minerals?
Copper
Iodine
Iron
, Zinc
Fluoride
What is the Primary Energy Source for the Body?
Carbohydrates.
Which organ does carbohydrates provide the most energy for? -ANSWER✔✔The
brain
Complex carbohydrates -ANSWER✔✔-Broken down more slowly
Examples: Fibers (20-30g/day), Starches
What are the functions of carbohydrates? -ANSWER✔✔-Primary energy source
for the body
-Provides nearly all the energy for the brain
-Supply energy for muscle and organ function (more quickly digested than proteins
and lipids)
-Proteins and fats can be used for energy when no carbs are available

amino acids

ANSWER✔✔Nonessential amino acids
, Which protein contains all the essential amino acids necessary for protein sythesis?
-ANSWER✔✔Complete protein
Which protein does not contain all the essential amino acids? -
ANSWER✔✔Incomplete protein
Which nutrient is responsible for tissue building? -ANSWER✔✔Proteins
What are the functions of lipids? -ANSWER✔✔-Supplies essential nutrients for
brain and nerve function
-Excess consumption of certain types can pose health hazards
-Back up energy source
Examples: Fats, Oils, some vitamins
Which proteins can be combined to make complete proteins? -
ANSWER✔✔Incomplete proteins
People with increased risk for heart disease may need what? -ANSWER✔✔Stricter
control of lipid intake
What are the functions of vitamins? -ANSWER✔✔-Necessary for metabolism
-Preventing a particular deficiency disease
