Answers 2025-2026. Graded A
1 kg = _____ lb - ANS____kg = 2.2 lb
Alex has started the Atkins diet and eats a lot of fat (approx. 120 g.) With
the Atkin's diet he lost 10 lbs! He now weighs around 175 pounds and is on
a 2800 kcal diet.
What percentage of his calories come from fat?
Is this within the AMDR? - ANS39%, no
Are fat soluble vitamins stored in the body? - ANSyes
Are sterols an essential nutrient? - ANSno
Are vitamins needed in large or small amounts? - ANSsmall
Are water soluble vitamins stored in the body? - ANSno
Calories Math - ANS
can sterols be made by the body? - ANSyes

,celiac disease symptoms - ANSnausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and reduced
growth in children. Celiac disease can only be definitely diagnosed through
blood test (they look for specific types of immune factors) and an intestinal
biopsy that reveals the damaged villi.
Celiac, food to avoid - ANSgrains derived from wheat, rye, barley, oats,
contamination, overlooked foods (soy sauce, or other things that might
have wheat).
Characterize foods in terms of protein amount and quality - ANSProtein
quality refers to the amount of essential amino acids in a food compared to
what the body needs. The following are examples of complete proteins,
also called high quality proteins because they contain all the essential
amino acids and they are easily digested. Notice that complete proteins all
come from animals. Meat, fish, poultry, cheese, eggs, milk. Low quality
proteins: Legumes (dried beans such as kidney, navy, red, white beans,
peanuts, soybeans). Vegetables: have less protein than legumes or grains
(Green beans, whose seeds are immature, are classified with the
vegetables, not with the legumes). Grains: (Wheat, rice, corn, oats, barley,
and rye)
State the AMDR for protein. Calculate an individual's recommended protein
intake (DRI). 10 to 35% for adults. The protein RDA is 0.8 grams/kg of body
weight for a healthy, typical adult.
2
, Cholesterol - ANSproduced by liver, used to make hormones, vitamin D.
Only found in animal sources. Saturated and trans fat is what raises
cholesterol.
complementary protein - ANStwo or more proteins whose amino acid
assortments complement each other in such a way that the essential amino
acids missing from one are supplied by the other. Grains have the opposite
strengths and weaknesses than legumes. mix legumes +grains.
Describe protein digestion, absorption, and metabolism: - ANSthe body
breaks the eaten protein into amino acids then rearranges them into
specific human proteins.
Transamination is a chemical reaction that converts an essential amino
acid into a non-essential amino acid. In transamination, an amino group,
the nitrogen-containing group on an amino acid, is transferred from an
essential amino acid to a structure that contains the acid group and side
chain of a non-essential amino acid. Transamination results in the creation
of a new amino acid. Deamination is the removal of an amine group. The
process primarily takes place in the liver. Deamination happens when
excess protein has been consumed and the body does not need the amino
acid to make proteins, or deamination may happen if the body needs to
produce energy from amino acids. In deamination, the amine group is
cleaved off the amino acid. Through a process of steps, the amino group is
converted to urea, which is eliminated in the urine. Once the nitrogen-
containing amine group is removed the remaining structure cannot be used
to make proteins. In a cell starved for energy with no glucose or fatty acids,
