NSC MONITORED EXAM UPDATED 2025 WITH QUESTIONS
AND 100% CORRECT ANSWERS WITH A GUARANTEED A+
Carb function in the body VERIFIED ANSWERMain energy source
Glycemic Index VERIFIED ANSWERranking foods based on the
relative blood glucose response observed after ingesting them.
High glucose response= high glycemic index
low glucose response= low glycemic index.
Monosaccharides VERIFIED ANSWERglucose, fructose, galactose
Disaccharides VERIFIED ANSWERsucrose, lactose, maltose
Polysaccharides VERIFIED ANSWERthousands of molecules bound
together-starch, glycogen, fiber
Soluble Fiber VERIFIED ANSWERdissolves or swells in water, weight
management (feeling full= satiety), lowering cholesterol, and helps
control blood sugar levels
Foods-citrus, apples, bananas, oats, beans
Insoluble Fiber VERIFIED ANSWERdoes not dissolve, helps GI health,
prebiotic, protection against colon cancer
,Foods-whole grain, wheat bran, rice, veggies
Insulin VERIFIED ANSWERhormone secreted by the pancreas in order
to unlock cells to allow glucose in, lowering glucose levels. It is secreted
when blood glucose levels are too high, above 99
Glucagon VERIFIED ANSWERhormone secreted at the opposite time
of insulin in order to raise glucose levels. It is released when glucose
levels are too low, releasing glucose from the liver into the bloodstream
Type I Diabetes VERIFIED ANSWERpancreas can no longer produce
insulin
Type II Diabetes VERIFIED ANSWERcells develop a resistance to
insulin
Gluten VERIFIED ANSWERinsoluble protein composite // wheat, rye,
and barley-responsible for the elastic consistency of dough
Celiac Disease VERIFIED ANSWERinherited disease // immune system
attacks small intestine when gluten is ingested
Normal Fasting Blood Glucose Levels VERIFIED ANSWERnormal 70-
99 mg/dl, prediabetes 100-125 mg/dl, diabetes greater than 126
, Probiotic Vs. Prebiotic VERIFIED ANSWERprobiotic (yogurt) are
healthy bacteria that aid the GI tract to move everything along, where
prebiotics (honey) are mainly fibers that feed the probiotic bacteria
Lactose Intolerance VERIFIED ANSWERlack of lactase, the enzyme
that breaks down lactose into a monosaccharide in order to be absorbed.
Since it is not broken down, it is metabolized by the large intestine,
causing pain, gas, bloating, and discomfort
HDL vs. LDL VERIFIED ANSWERHigh Density Lipoprotein (HDL)-
good, more protein, removes cholesterol, want levels above 60
Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)-bad, more cholesterol by dropping it
off, delivers to your cells
Saturated Fat VERIFIED ANSWERsingle bonds // bagels, milkshakes,
cream cheese
Monounsaturated Fats (MUFA) VERIFIED ANSWERone double bond
// nuts, avocados, vegetable oils
Polyunsaturated Fats (PUFA) VERIFIED ANSWERmore than one
double bond // plant and animal foods- salmon, vegetable oils
