CSU FSHN 150 Exam 3 questions with
complete solutions 2025/2026
Positive Nitrogen Balance - correct answer ✔✔Protein intake exceeds protein loss; needed in
times of growth and pregnancy.
Equal Nitrogen Balance - correct answer ✔✔Protein intake is equal to protein loss; Healthy
adult meeting needs.
Negative Nitrogen Balance - correct answer ✔✔Protein loss exceeds protein intake; Occurs
during illness or inadequate protein intake.
Deamination - correct answer ✔✔Converts nitrogen from the amino acid into ammonia to be
excreted through urine.
High Quality Protein - correct answer ✔✔Consists of all 9 essential amino acids; Complete
protein. (Mostly animal products)
Low Quality Protein - correct answer ✔✔Incomplete protein; Low or limiting in essential amino
acids. (mostly plant products)
Bioavailability - correct answer ✔✔-ability to use certain proteins better than others
Protein consisting of a high amount of nitrogen.
-The percentage or scale rating of just how much our bodies can make use of a certain protein
source.
-High Sources = Eggs, Animal Products, Beans, Nuts.
, Edema - correct answer ✔✔Hemoglobin is a protein. Water is pushed out but can't get back
into the cell.
PEM - Marasmus - correct answer ✔✔-"Wasting Away"
-Chronic PEM
-Skin and Bones
PEM - Kwashiorkor - correct answer ✔✔-Swollen Belly
-Edema
-Some Fat Stores
Amino Acids - correct answer ✔✔-Building Blocks of Proteins
-Essential: Body needs but cannot make (9)
-Non Essential: Body can make (11)
Protein Synthesis - correct answer ✔✔-The making of a protein out of amino acids.
-When an amino acid is missing a protein cannot be made and protein synthesis stops.
-Limiting Amino Acid
Protein Digestion and Absorption - correct answer ✔✔-Enzymes in the small intestine and
stomach
-SI absorptive cells
-Need carrier molecules and energy
-Portal Vein > Liver
Dietary Proteins - correct answer ✔✔Dietary Proteins > Digestion > Amino Acid Pool > Protein
Synthesis > Body Proteins
