6. Which of the following statements are NOT true concerning blood sugar regulation?
a. Hormones are responsible for control
b. Excess glucose is stored as glycogen
c. Glucagon helps to lower blood sugar levels – glucagon released when Blood Glucose LOW!!!
d. High blood sugar is called hyperglycemia
e. When blood sugar levels are low, insulin is released from the pancreas: Glucagon released to
increase levels
f. Hypoglycemia refers to low blood sugar levels
g. Normal blood sugar levels are 70-100 mg/dl
h. Normal blood sugar levels are 55-130 mg/dl: Normal blood glucose: 70 – 100 mg/dl
i. Hormones are responsible for control
j. Insulin is secreted by the gallbladder: Insulin secreted by the pancreas islet celss
7. Which of the following statements are NOT True about protein and the diet?
a. Most adults require 0.8 grams of protein per kg
b. Extra protein is necessary to build muscle: FALSE
c. Protein contains the nitrogen element
d. Protein yields 4 kcal/g of energy
e. A meal of beans and corn tortillas provides complete protein
f. An essential amino acid can not be synthesized by the body
g. Plant proteins are high quality protein: FALSE considered low quality or incomplete protein
h. Amino acids are the building blocks for protein
i. Animal proteins are incomplete proteins: FALSE considered to be high quality or complete protein
source
j. An essential amino acid can not be synthesized by the body
8. What is the difference between animal sources for proteins and plant sources for
proteins? What is it called when several plant proteins combine?
Animal sources of protein are high quality or complete proteins because they contain all of the
essential amino acids that the body requires. Plant sources of protein are lower quality or
incomplete proteins because they are lacking certain essential amino acids that the body
requires. Complementary proteins form when several plant proteins combine.
9. Be familiar with the various forms of cholesterol and what role they play in your body.
Lipoproteins are lipids surrounded by a shell of protein, phospholipids and cholesterol. This coating
allows the fats to be transported in watery substances such as blood to tissue and cells. There are
four types of lipoproteins:
1. Chylomicrons - which transport the triglycerides from the intestine to the cells and the liver

2. Very Low Density Lipoproteins - deliver triglycerides to the cell
3. Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) - deliver cholesterol to cells
4. High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) - pick up the cholesterol for removal via the liver
HDL
good cholesterol
low levels associated with increased risk of CVD
o High levels of HDL are also desirable in preventing heart disease.
LDL:
bad cholesterol
high levels linked to an increased risk of CVD High levels of LDL can lead to plaque
formation in the arteries, this is called atherosclerosis
The plaque inhibits the blood flow through the arteries resulting in high blood
pressure, a stroke or heart attack.
TO LOWER LDL LEVELS
o Eat diet low in saturated fats, trans-fats, cholesterol
o Eat diet high in fiber and Omega 3 FAs
o Remember trans fats have more of an impact on high blood levels than
saturated fats.
o Smoking cessation, exercise, weight management and blood pressure
control can also lower your risk for cardiovascular disease.
10. Be familiar with the digestive process for carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, including the
location and mechanisms of the digestion process for each [Show Less]
