QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS
Nutrition - Answer✔️✔️-provides the body with the nutrients it needs to perform its daily
tasks
Undernutrition - Answer✔️✔️-implies that the individual is not getting enough nutrients.
This can occur even if the person is consuming more than enough calories
Malnutrition - Answer✔️✔️-an imbalance of proper nutrients
Anorexia nervosa - Answer✔️✔️-literally means loss of appetite, but this is a misnomer: A
person with this is hungry, but denies the hunger because of an irrational fear of
becoming fat. Self-starvation, food preoccupation and rituals, compulsive exercising,
and often an absence of menstrual cycles in women.
Untreated, can be fatal.
Bulimia - Answer✔️✔️-characterized by recurring periods of binge eating, during which
large amounts of food are consumed in a short period of time followed by purging
(through self-induced vomiting, abuse of laxatives and/or diuretics) or periods of fasting
Binge eating disorder (BED) - Answer✔️✔️-episodes of binge eating characterized by
eating rapidly, eating large amounts of food even when not feeling hungry, and feeling
guilty or depressed after overeating.

Obesity - Answer✔️✔️-15 to 20 percent above normal weight. Poor dietary patterns;
include increased intake of sugars in sweetened soft drinks, foods, and meals of high
energy, low nutrient density, and large portion sizes. At risk for serious health problems
such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer.
Minerals - Answer✔️✔️-inorganic material. Form body parts (teeth and bones), maintain
acid-base neutrality, regulate nerve impulses, osmotic pressure, and electrolyte balance
Major minerals - Answer✔️✔️-needed by the body:
• calcium—milk, cheese, sardines, salmon, green vegetables
• phosphorus—milk, cheese, lean meat
• potassium—oranges, bananas, dried fruits
• sulfur—eggs, poultry, fish
• sodium—table salt, beef, eggs, cheese
• chloride—table salt, meat
• magnesium—green vegetables, whole grains
Trace minerals - Answer✔️✔️-required in lesser amounts, and include iron, zinc,
selenium, magnesium, copper, iodine, fluorine, chromium, molybdenum, and
manganese
HDL cholesterol (high density lipoproteins) - Answer✔️✔️-protect the body against heart
disease. Often called "good" cholesterol.
LDL cholesterol (low density lipoproteins) - Answer✔️✔️-most cholesterol in the blood is
of this type. Often referred to as the bad cholesterol. high levels in the blood increases

the risk of fatty deposits forming in the arteries, which in turn increases the risk of a
heart attack
Lipoproteins - Answer✔️✔️-large molecules of fat and protein in the bloodstream; how
cholesterol is transported
Antioxidants - Answer✔️✔️-slow the aging process. Reduce cellular damage by binding
with free radicals produced during oxidation reactions
Oxidation reactions - Answer✔️✔️-the energy-yielding reactions in which either an
oxygen atom adds an electron to or a hydrogen atom removes an electron from a
substrate (a group of atoms or molecule)—the net result is a substrate that has had a
partial or complete loss of a negatively charge particle, an electron. Two partially
charged atoms or groups of atoms, one positively charged and the other negatively
charged, now exist
Free radical (Oxidant) - Answer✔️✔️-any atom or group of atoms that has an unpaired
electron. Because electrons typically function in pairs, these are very prone to binding to
other substrates in an effort to regain this paired status. When this happens in the
human body, there is potential for a great deal of damage.
Carbohydrates - Answer✔️✔️-produce 4 calories of energy per gram. Found in foods as
monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Sources include fruits,
vegetables, pasta, and rice which consist of simple sugars and starches
Protein - Answer✔️✔️-produce 4 calories of energy per gram. Sources include meats and
milk. Composed of 8 essential(provided by the diet) and 12 nonessential(synthesized by

forming blood and enzymes, and fighting infection.
means primary, and no organism can live, and almost no biological process can take
place, without it
Lipids - Answer✔️✔️-produce 9 calories of energy per gram. Organic compounds that do
not readily dissolve in water; based on their solubility, they are classified into
triglycerides (more commonly known as fats), phospholipids, and sterols
Incomplete protein - Answer✔️✔️-proteins that are lacking one or more of the essential
amino acids
Glycogen - Answer✔️✔️-the polysaccharide form in which glucose is stored in the liver
Glucose - Answer✔️✔️-simple sugar. The only source of energy that brain cells use to
function
Triglycerides (Fats) - Answer✔️✔️-Solid at room temperature. Group of chemical
compounds that contain fatty acids, often in very long strands. Most concentrated
source of energy in the diet. Provides much of the stored energy of the body. Insulate
body organs against changes in environmental temperature. Protect the organs and
underlying tissues by acting as a shock absorber.
Water - Answer✔️✔️-essential component of body structure. Second only to oxygen in
importance to body functioning. Acts as a solvent for minerals and other physiologically
important compounds. In the body, it transports nutrients to and waste products from
