Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ferritin is the iron-storage protein that captures iron from food and stores it in cells of the small intestine.

Answer: N
 MFP factor is a compound found in meat, fish, and poultry that enhances the absorption of nonheme iron from plant-based sources.

Answer: S
 Metallothionein is a protein that binds to and transports nonessential trace minerals, such as zinc and copper, throughout the body.

Answer: M
 Myoglobin is a protein in muscle tissue that binds to and stores oxygen for energy production. It also contains heme, which is an iron-containing molecule.

Answer: O
 Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that binds to and transports oxygen throughout the body. It also contains heme, which is an iron-containing molecule.

Answer: R
 Iodized salt is table salt that has been fortified with iodine to prevent iodine deficiency, which can lead to goiter and other health problems.
