Vitamins - CORRECT ANSWER Each nutrient provides energy, except one. Which is
the exception?
The first statement is true; the second is false. - CORRECT ANSWER Consumption
of milk and milk products can promote the achievement of peak bone mass in

, Triglycerides - CORRECT ANSWER Which is NOT a classification of carbohydrate?
are hydrophilic - CORRECT ANSWER Which is NOT a characteristic or function of

both statements are false - CORRECT ANSWER Saturated fatty acids are alkenes
that contain one or more C=C (double) bond. Unsaturated fatty acids, contain only
one C=C bond.
The first statement is false; the second is true. - CORRECT ANSWER Cholesterol is
the most abundant lipoprotein and is important to biological membranes.
Cholesterol is also the precursor of steroid hormones, bile acids, and the lipid-
soluble vitamin D.
The first statement is true; the second is false. - CORRECT ANSWER
