[Show More] 0-35% The RDA for fats is ______ of total c aloric intake 1) >35% 2) <10% 3) 10-35% 4) 20-35% What is the RDA of cholesterol? A) <300 mg/day B) <10% C) >35% D) 20-35% Carbs have ___ calories/gram, with the exception of indigestible ________ 1) 9, fiber 2) 4, fiber 3) 9, protein 4) 4, protein Rationale: Carbs produces 4 calories/gram except for the indigestible fiber. Protein also produces 4 calories/gram but no indigestible fiber. Fats produces 9 calories/gram. What are carbs converted to? fat amino acids glucose minerals Rationale: Carbs are converted into glucose (aka energy) Fat is a macronutrient Protein converts into amino acids Minerals are micronutrients What is the primary function of carbs? 1) building/repair structure 2) energy 3) insulation 4) temperature control Rationale: Building/repair structure is the main function of Proteins thus the reason for high protein diets after surgeries. Energy is the main function of Carbs and thus the correct answer here. Insulation and Temperature control are main functions of Fats.

Water-Soluble Fiber delay gastric emptying, lower serum cholesterol, and delay glucose absorption. Cellulose & Water-Insoluble Fiber adds fecal bulk and moves things through the intestine quicker What type of carbs help relieve constipation?(SATA) simple sugars starch water-soluble fiber cellulose & water-insoluble fiber A and B All of these Rationale: Simple Sugars and Starches get converted into glucose which the body uses as energy, provided not excessive. Water-Soluble Fiber delay gastric emptying, lower serum cholesterol, and delay glucose absorption. Cellulose & Water-Insoluble Fiber adds fecal bulk and moves things through the intestine quicker Cellulose & water-insoluble fibers are __________ and are therefore excreted digestible indigestible absorbed none of these A deficient intake of cellulose & other water-insoluble fibers may cause ________; an excess intake may increase the risk for _________ ketosis, dental caries acidosis, renal calculi cholesterol, heart disease alkalosis, high BP What type of carbs can be found in fruits, vegetables, grains, dried peas/beans, milk (lactose), and sugars (white/brown/honey/molasses, syrup)? simple sugars starch water-soluble fiber cellulose & water-insoluble fiber A and B All of these What types of carbs can be found in whole wheat flour, wheat bran, vegetables such as cabbage, peas, green beans, broccoli, peppers, carrots, and apples? simple sugars starch water-soluble fiber cellulose & water-insoluble fiber A and B All of these What types of carbs can be found in oat bran, oatmeal, dried peas/ beans, vegetables, and fruits such as prunes, pears, apples, bananas and oranges? simple sugars starch water-soluble fiber cellulose & water-insoluble fiber A and B All of these Proteins have ___ calories/gram 4 9 10 20 Rationale: Carbs produces 4 calories/gram except for the indigestible fiber. Protein also produces 4 calories/gram but no indigestible fiber Fats produces 9 calories/gram What is protein converted to? fat amino acids glucose minerals Rationale: Protein converts into amino acids Carbs are converted into glucose (aka energy) Fat is a macronutrient Minerals are micronutrients Functions of protein include: (SATA) cellular structure maintenance/growth antibody formation immunity All of these What are the primary sources of protein? 1) plants 2) lactose 3) animals 4) nuts and oils 5) A and C 6) C and D Rationale: While plants maybe confusing remember Soy is a source of protein and comes from plants.

Protein also produces 4 calories/gram but no indigestible fiber Fats produces 9 calories/gram What are fats converted to? minerals amino acids glucose fatty acids Rationale: Fat is converted into fatty acids Carbs are converted into glucose (aka energy) Protein converts into amino acids Minerals are micronutrients What macronutrient functions in energy, structure, insulation, temperature control, and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins? protein fat carbs vitamins and minerals Fat-like substance found only in animal products and made by the body cholesterol What type of fats raise serum cholesterol? 1) unsaturated 2) saturated 3) trans fat 4) A and C 5) B and C 6) all of these Partially hydrogenated liquid oils 1) unsaturated 2) saturated 3) trans fat 4) A and C 5) B and C 6) all of these Rationale: Saturated - Solid at room temperature i.e. butter Unsaturated - Un-Solid at room temperature i.e. oils Trans fat - fake/engineered solid fats like margarine BAD FOR YOU!!!

True False Rationale: Vitamins may help the breakdown and creation of energy but energy's source is carbs and fats not the vitamins. Class of vitamins which are absorbed through the intestinal wall directly into the bloodstream; usually not stored in the body. water-soluble fat-soluble carbohydrate indigestible Class of vitamins that are absorbed with fat into the lymphatic circulation; must be attached to a protein to be transported through the blood. Excess stored in liver & adipose tissue. water-soluble fat-soluble carbohydrate indigestible [Show Less]
