25. Discuss the benefits of amino acid supplements in the diet. - CORRECT ANSWER: -
People would used amino acid supplements in the diet for certain things like to avoid
lysine to prevent or relive the infections that cause herpes cold sores on the mouth or
genital organs, and tryptophan to relieve depression and insomnia.
26. How is alcohol metabolized differently from CHO, fat and protein? - CORRECT
ANSWER: the metabolism of alcohol is handled differently and it interferes with
metabolism and impairs health and nutrition. Unlike carbs, fat and protein, there is
nowhere for alcohol to be stored in the body, so the body will it a priority to metabolize
the alcohol first. Liver is the site for alcohol metabolism. The liver removes the alcohol
from the blood through a process called oxidation.
4. What form of energy is used in early (first 24 hrs) vs. late fasting? - CORRECT
ANSWER: Fasting—Inadequate Energy
• Brains wants glucose/glycogen
• First 24 hr ~ glycogen
• 24-48 hrs ~ glucose depleted; protein 90%/ fat 10%
> 48 hrs ~ 90% fat; 10% protein
ADP - CORRECT ANSWER: ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) is an important organic
compound in metabolism and is essential to the flow of energy in living cells.
Anabolism - CORRECT ANSWER: Anabolism are the reactions in which small
molecules are put together to build larger ones. Anabolic reactions require energy.
Approximately how many kcalories are in a pound of adipose? - CORRECT ANSWER:
There are about 3500 kcalories in 1 lb of adipose.
, ATP - CORRECT ANSWER: ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is a common high-energy
compound composed of a purine (adenine) a sugar(ribose), and 3 phosphate groups.
Catabolism - CORRECT ANSWER: Catabolism are reactions in which large molecules
are broken down into smaller ones. Catabolic reactions release energy.
Compare the characteristics of bulimia vs. anorexia? - CORRECT ANSWER: - People
who have anorexia have an intense fear of gaining weight. They severely limit the
amount of food they eat and can become dangerously thin. Anorexia affects both the
body and the mind. It may start as dieting, but it gets out of control. You think about

eating, followed by frantic efforts to avoid gaining weight. It is based on self induced
vomiting. There is an extreme concern with body weight and shape.
Define and name a good food example for each of the following terms: hydrogenated
fats, saturated, polyunsaturated, monounsaturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol,
phospholipid, sterol, and essential fatty acids, EPA, DHA and ALA. - CORRECT
ANSWER: - Hydrogenated Fats : Artificial Fat/ Trans Fat- Margarine butter
-Saturated Fat : Saturated Fats are solid at room temperature. - Fatty Beef
-Polyunsaturated Fats : Typically liquid at room temperature and when chilled. -
Vegetable oils.
-Monounsaturated Fats : Typically liquid at room temperature but start to turn solid
when chilled. - Olive is an example of this.
- Trans Fat : an industrial process that adds hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils to make
them more solid. They can be found in foods like French fries and doughnuts.
Cholesterol : One of the sterols containing a four-ring carbon structure with a carbon
side chain.
-Phospholipids : a class of lipids that are a major component of all cell membranes as
they can form lipid bilayers.
-Sterol : compounds containing a four ring carbon structure with any of a variety of side
chains attached.
