Which of the following are classified as 'Energy Yielding Nutrients'?
Fiber, Water, and Vitamins
Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Fats
Amino Acids, Glucose, and Triglycerides
Vitamins, Minerals, and Water
What happens if energy intake exceeds energy expenditure?
The body primarily uses up fat stores, leading to weight loss.
The body maintains a stable body weight.
The excess energy is converted to body fat, resulting in weight gain.
Protein intake must be raised to compensate.
Carbohydrates must be reduced to their simplest form before the body can utilize them for fuel. What is this simplest form?
Sucrose
Starch
Lactose
Glucose
Which of the following is NOT a classification of carbohydrates?
Disaccharide
Monosaccharide
Polysaccharide
Oligosaccharide
What is the primary function of protein in the body?
Storage of excess energy in the form of body fat.
Reabsorption of salts and water in the large intestine.
Production, maintenance, and repair of tissues.
To provide the primary source of energy for the brain.
What are the building blocks of protein?
Amino acids
Simple sugars
Fatty acids
Triglycerides
True or False: Saturated fatty acids are generally known to lower blood cholesterol levels.
TRUE
FALSE
What is the recommended maximum percentage of total fat intake for your energy intake?
Exactly 40%
At least 55%
Less than 10%
No more than 30%
What is the main difference between soluble and insoluble fiber?
Soluble fiber forms a gel and helps lower cholesterol, while insoluble fiber adds bulk to stool.
Insoluble fiber provides energy, while soluble fiber does not.
Soluble fiber adds bulk to stool, while insoluble fiber lowers cholesterol.
Soluble fiber is found in whole grains, and insoluble fiber is found in fruits.
What is the primary energy source for the brain and nervous system?
Glucose
Proteins
Amino acids
Fats
Which of the following is an example of a disaccharide?
Glucose
Starch
Cellulose
Sucrose
What is the primary form in which fats are stored in the body for long-term energy?
Glycogen
Triglycerides
Amino acids
Cholesterol
Which of the following describes a key role of fats in the body, apart from energy storage?
Serving as the main component of bone structure.
Acting as a solvent for water-soluble vitamins.
Building enzymes and hormones.
Insulating the body and protecting organs.
If energy output exceeds energy intake, what is the likely outcome?
Weight gain due to excess energy conversion.
Maintenance of stable body weight.
Increased muscle mass.
Weight loss as the body uses stored energy.
Which type of fatty acid is generally considered 'healthier' and helps lower blood cholesterol levels?
Unsaturated fatty acids
Hydrogenated fatty acids
Saturated fatty acids
Trans fatty acids
