Question 1

The type of lipoprotein that picks up deposited fats and transports them to the liver is _____.&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;LDL&#10;B) &#8203;VLDL&#10;C) &#8203;HDL&#10;D) &#8203;a chylomicron

Accepted Answer

HDL, or high-density lipoprotein, is known as the "good" cholesterol because it picks up excess cholesterol from cells and takes it to the liver to be processed and removed from the body. This can help prevent the buildup of plaque in arteries, which can lead to heart disease. LDL and VLDL are types of lipoproteins that can contribute to the buildup of plaque, while chylomicrons mainly transport dietary fats after a meal.

Question 2

Fats should provide no more than what percentage of a person's daily caloric intake?&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;10 percent&#10;B) &#8203;20 percent&#10;C) &#8203;30 percent&#10;D) &#8203;40 percent

Accepted Answer

According to dietary guidelines, fats should provide no more than 30 percent of a person's daily caloric intake. This recommendation helps balance energy intake with energy expenditure to maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Question 3

Water makes up about _____ percent of our total body weight.&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;25 to 35&#10;B) &#8203;35 to 45&#10;C) &#8203;45 to 55&#10;D) &#8203;55 to 65

Accepted Answer

Water makes up approximately 55 to 65 percent of our total body weight.

Question 4

Two minerals that are especially important for health in females,but are often consumed in less than optimal amounts,are _____.&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;calcium and potassium&#10;B) &#8203;calcium and iron&#10;C) &#8203;potassium and sodium&#10;D) &#8203;sodium and calcium

Accepted Answer

Calcium and iron are two minerals that are often consumed in less than optimal amounts by females. Calcium is important for bone health, which is especially important for females who are at a higher risk for osteoporosis. Iron is essential for producing hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, and females are at a higher risk for iron deficiency due to menstrual blood loss. Potassium and sodium are important electrolytes but are not specifically more important for females. Sodium in excess can actually be harmful for health.

Question 5

It is essential to eat some form of meat,fish,or poultry each day to receive the proper amounts of protein.&#8203;

Accepted Answer

While meat, fish, and poultry are good sources of protein, there are also many plant-based sources of protein, such as beans, legumes, nuts, and tofu, that can provide the necessary protein in a person's diet. Therefore, it is not essential to eat meat, fish, or poultry every day to receive the proper amounts of protein.

Question 6

If untreated,anorexia nervosa can result in irreversible damage to the body.&#8203;

Accepted Answer

Anorexia nervosa can lead to a range of serious physical and mental health complications, some of which can be irreversible if left untreated. These complications may include organ damage, impaired immune function, osteoporosis, infertility, and death. Therefore, it is important to seek professional help as soon as possible if you suspect that you or someone you know is suffering from anorexia nervosa.

Question 7

Why is it recommended that individuals obtain dietary fiber from foods rather than from supplements?&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;The supplements contain too many extra calories.&#10;B) &#8203;Fiber in foods is more readily available to the body.&#10;C) &#8203;To save the calories contained in the food.&#10;D) &#8203;The foods may contain health benefits in addition to the fiber.

Accepted Answer

Foods that are high in dietary fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, also contain other important nutrients and compounds that are beneficial for overall health. Supplements, on the other hand, may not provide these additional benefits and can also be more expensive than simply incorporating fiber-rich foods into one's diet. Additionally, getting fiber from foods can help with satiety and aid in weight management, whereas supplements do not have this same effect.

Question 8

The recommended and toxic levels of many trace elements are very close in quantity.&#8203;

Accepted Answer

This is true for many trace elements, such as copper, selenium, and zinc. It is important to monitor intake levels and avoid excessive consumption to prevent toxic effects.

Question 9

Which of the following foods tends to help lower cholesterol levels?&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;Eggs&#10;B) &#8203;Liver&#10;C) &#8203;Beef&#10;D) &#8203;Oat bran

Accepted Answer

Oat bran contains soluble fiber which can help decrease LDL cholesterol levels in the body. Eggs, liver, and beef are high in dietary cholesterol and can potentially increase cholesterol levels if consumed in excess.

Question 10
