Which nutrients are organic? - ANSWER: (1) Carbs, (2) Proteins, (3) Lipids, and (4)
Vitamins.
What are the macronutrients? - ANSWER: (1) Carbohydrates, (2) Fats, (3) Proteins
Describe the progression of nutrition problems. - ANSWER: (1) Inadequate Dietary
Intake, (2) Decrease in Tissue Stores, (3) Appearance of Clinical Symptoms
Which nutrients supply calories? - ANSWER: (1) Macronutrients (carbs, proteins,
fats), and (2) Alcohol
What percent of the human body is made of water? - ANSWER: ≈60%
How many kcal/gram for each of the macronutrients? - ANSWER: (1) Carb = 4 kcal/g,
(2) Protein = 4 kcal/g, (3) Fat = 9 kcal/g, [(4) Alcohol = 7 kcal/g (<--NOT a nutrient)]
If a nutrient provides ENERGY, what does that mean? Is it a micronutrient? -
ANSWER: This means it is a macronutrient (carb, protein, or fat) and that it provides
calories. No, it is not a micronutrient.
What is the benefit of using a placebo in scientific research? - ANSWER: It reduces
bias in experimental outcome.
Name a strength and weakness of epidemiological studies. - ANSWER: (1) Strength:
Can narrow down list of possible causes. (2) Weakness: Cannot prove cause and
effect.
Name a strength and weakness of experimental studies. - ANSWER: (1) Strength: Can
control conditions. Can determine effects of a variable. (2) Weakness: Cannot apply
results from test tubes or animals to human beings.
Name a strength and weakness of clinical trials. - ANSWER: (1) Strength: Can control
conditions. Can apply findings to some groups of human beings. (2) Weakness:
Cannot generalize findings to all human beings.
