MULTIPLE CHOICE
• Which of the following is the most accurate statement regarding the functions of
protein?
A. Proteins can be a primary fuel source even if there is adequate carbohydrate
intake.
B. Proteins are a necessary nutrient to provide energy for the body in times of
stress.
C. Proteins can be used as coenzyme factors during cell metabolism.
D. Proteins are essential to building and repairing tissues within the body.
ANS: D
The primary function of proteins is to provide amino acids, which are the
building units necessary to building and repairing tissues within the body.
This is a constant process that ensures adequate growth and maintenance of
tissues for a strong body.

,• A 65-year-old man requires 2000 kcal/day without any specific fat or
carbohydrate requirements. The approximate number of kilocalories per day
from fat that his diet should provide is kcal/day.
A. 400 to 700
B. 100 to 300
C. 500 to 800
D. 900 to 1200
ANS: A
Fat should provide no more than 20% to 35% of the total kilocalories per day,
so for a 2000- kcal diet, 400 to 700 kcal should be provided.

• The body’s main storage form of carbohydrate is
A. glycogen.
B. glycerol.
C. glucagon.
D. glucose.
ANS: A
Glycogen is a polysaccharide that is the main storage form of carbohydrate in
the human body. It is mainly stored in the liver and to a lesser extent in
muscle tissue.

• The number of kilocalories provided by one slice of bread that contains 30 g
carbohydrate, 3 g protein, and 1 g fat is kcal.
A. 34
B. 136
C. 141
D. 306
ANS: C
Calculate as follows: Carbohydrate provides 4 kcal/g, protein provides 4
kcal/g, and fat provides 9 kcal/g. Therefore:
30 g carbohydrate 4 kcal/g = 120 kcal
3 g protein 4 kcal/g = 12 kcal
1 g fat 9 kcal/g = 9 kcal
= 141 total kcal (120 kcal + 12 kcal + 9 kcal)

• The number of kilocalories from fat in a sandwich that contains 22 g fat is
kcal.
A. 88

• The main nutrients involved in metabolic regulation and control are
A. water and vitamins.
B. vitamins and minerals.
C. vitamins and fatty acids.
D. minerals and carbohydrates.
ANS: B
Vitamins and minerals are the key nutrients in regulating and controlling the many
chemical processes in the body. Vitamins and minerals function as coenzyme
factors, which are components of cell enzymes that govern cell chemical reactions
in cell metabolism.

• The dietary regimen that would provide optimal nutrition for a person who is
recovering from an extended illness is a diet
A. low in protein, fat, and carbohydrates; high in minerals and
vitamins; and very low in fiber.
B. providing adequate amounts of carbohydrates, protein, fat,
minerals, and vitamins along with adequate water and fiber.
C. high in protein, fiber, and fluid; low in carbohydrates; and adequate in vitamins
and minerals.
D. with essential amounts of vitamins and minerals; high in protein;
and low in fat, carbohydrates, and fiber.
