BIODIVERSITY 121: LATEST MODULE II STUDY
GUIDE
The biological value of a protein is different in animal vs plant sources. Animal sources are considered high
quality or complete proteins. Plant sources are considered lower quality or incomplete protein. When two
or more plant proteins combine, the proteins are
called complementary proteins proteins. A condition resulting from regularly consuming insufficient
amounts of proteins and calories is called protein - calorie malnutrition.

, Which of the following is NOT true concerning fats and lipids? a
Fats and oils in food are mostly in the form of triglycerides
Stick margarine is an example of a saturated fat
Cholesterol is made by the body in adequate amounts to meet our needs
Phospholipids are another class of fats
What are chylomicrons?
Lipoprotein. Transporter. Delivers lipids to the liver.

What are chylomicrons?
Chylomicrons transport the triglycerides from the intestine to the cells and the liver
Define protein calorie malnutrition
Protein calorie malnutrition is when an individual does not consume an adequate amount protein and
calories over an extended amount of time. This can lead to muscle wasting and the individual becomes more
prone for infection because they are immunocompromised. The immune system is not able to make WBC's
which make antibodies to fight off pathogens, bacteria, and viruses because of the lack of protein and the
proteins' contribution to immune function.
Answer Key
Define protein calorie malnutrition
