NASM NUTRITION CERTIFICATION EXAM| WITH VERIFIED
SOLUTION/A+ GRADE 2025-2025.
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) - CORRECT ANSWERS -An endotoxin produced by gram-
negative bacteria that elicit an inflammatory response if absorbed into circulation from
the gastrointestinal tract.
Whole-Meal Grains - CORRECT ANSWERS -A cereal grain or pseudograin that
contains the endosperm, germ, and bran
Pseudograins - CORRECT ANSWERS -Grass seeds used in the same way as true
cereal grains, often serving as a replacement (e.g., ground into flour or consumed as
porridge) - examples include amaranth, buckwheat, and quinoa.
Added Sugar Recommendations - CORRECT ANSWERS -Some health authorities
recommend that no more than 5% of energy intake comes from added sugars. For a
standard 2,000-kcal diet, this amounts to about 25 grams of added sugar or roughly ½
of a can of soda pop. That is not a lot and speaks volumes on how quickly these hidden
sugars can add up.
High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) - CORRECT ANSWERS -A sweetener made from
the enzymatic conversion of corn starch into glucose and fructose.
Phosphofructokinase - CORRECT ANSWERS -The enzyme that turns fructose 6-
phosphate to fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate, a key regulatory step in the glycolytic pathway
De Novo Lipogenesis (DNL) - CORRECT ANSWERS -The process by which fatty acids
are synthesized from other compounds (e.g., glucose) within the liver.
Isotopic Tracer - CORRECT ANSWERS -Any radioactive atom detectable in a material
in a chemical, biological, or physical system and used to mark that material for study, to
observe its progress through the system, or to determine its distribution.
Non-Nutritive Sweeteners (NNS) - CORRECT ANSWERS -A zero-calorie food additive
that provides a sweet taste like that of sugar.
Artificial Sweetener - CORRECT ANSWERS -A synthetic nonnutritive sweetener.
Substituting non-nutritive sweetener for sugar - CORRECT ANSWERS -A meta-
analysis of 15 randomized controlled trials reported that substituting NNS for sugar
modestly reduced body weight, fat mass, and waist circumference among people who
were overweight and obese.
,The Health Halo Effect - CORRECT ANSWERS -Describes a psychological
phenomenon whereby people eat more of something they perceive as being healthy
It is an unconscious sabotage to dieters and can definitely mask any benefit of replacing
sugar with NNS.
Type 2 Diabeters and Glycemic Control - CORRECT ANSWERS -NNS do not generally
affect blood glucose or insulin like sugars do after consuming them.
However, emerging research is linking chronic use of NNS to worse glycemic control,
which could provide an explanation for their link to Type 2 diabetes.
Differences between fructose and glucose - CORRECT ANSWERS -Fructose is
metabolized primarily within the liver
The body continues to create energy from fructose even if the body doesn't need it
Detox and Cleansing Programs - CORRECT ANSWERS -The process of attempting to
purify the body from ill-defined toxins through restrictive dieting and foolhardy
supplementation (e.g., The Master Cleanse or Fat Flush).
What following statement would be the best approach to explaining detoxification to a
client? - CORRECT ANSWERS -We all have a natural ability to detoxify our bodies
within the liver and then excreted via bile to the kidneys. To support our body's ability to
do so should be done by eating nutrient-dense foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and
amino acids.
What are some downsides to juicing fruits and vegetables compared to consuming them
raw? - CORRECT ANSWERS -Lack fiber
Lose out on some phytochemicals
Plataeu - CORRECT ANSWERS -A period of stalled progress of 1 month or longer.
Energy Balance - CORRECT ANSWERS -The amount of calories consumed compared
to the amount of calories expended.
Dietary Adherence - CORRECT ANSWERS -The degree to which an individual sticks
with a diet.
SCOFF questionnaire - CORRECT ANSWERS -Basic yet reliable set of five questions
that help assess whether an eating disorder exists.
Do you make yourself Sick because you feel uncomfortably full?
Do you worry that you have lost Control over how much you eat?
Have you recently lost more than One stone (14 lbs) in a 3-month period?
Do you believe yourself to be Fat when others say you are too thin?
,Would you say that Food dominates your life?
Scientific Method - CORRECT ANSWERS -The process of formulating explanations
about the natural world and testing those explanations with experiments and data.
1. Identify a Problem
2. Formulate a hypothesis
3. Design a study to test the hypothesis
4. Collect data
5. Discard or change the hypothesis OR continue testing
Evidence-Based Practice - CORRECT ANSWERS -A three-pronged approach to
working with clients, which consists of making decisions based on the weight of the
scientific evidence, field observations, and individual client needs and preferences.
Prediction - CORRECT ANSWERS -An expected outcome generated from a hypothesis
Theory - CORRECT ANSWERS -A hypothesis or set of hypotheses for which a large
body of high-quality evidence has been accumulated.
Hierarchy of Evidence - CORRECT ANSWERS -1. Systematic Reviews
2. Randomized Controlled Trials
3. Observational Research
4. Peer Reviews
5. Non-Peer-Reviewed Media, including anecdotes
Anecdote - CORRECT ANSWERS -an account of a person's experience or event
Uncontrolled Variable - CORRECT ANSWERS -A variable in an experiment that a
scientist makes no effort to manipulate or account for.
Primary Research - CORRECT ANSWERS -Original research where scientists perform
experiments and collect data - this is in contrast to secondary research where scientists
analyze data that has already been collected or published elsewhere.
Observational Research - CORRECT ANSWERS -Research in which a researcher
observes ongoing behaviors to determine correlation.
Correlation - CORRECT ANSWERS -A relationship between two or more variables.
Randomized Control Trial (RCT) - CORRECT ANSWERS -A type of scientific study/trial
where participants are randomly assigned into different groups - one or more will be the
intervention to be tested and one will be the control group. Groups are randomized and
a control is used in an attempt to reduce potential bias in the trial.
, Independent Variable - CORRECT ANSWERS -The variable scientists manipulate in an
experiment.
External Validity - CORRECT ANSWERS -The ability to generalize the results of a
study.
Systematic Review - CORRECT ANSWERS -A review where scientists systematically
gather all research on a topic and evaluate it based on predefined criteria and rules.
Meta-Analysis - CORRECT ANSWERS -A statistical analysis of a group of studies to
assess the overall weight of the evidence.
Empirical - CORRECT ANSWERS -Based on observation or experience.
Test-Retest Reliability - CORRECT ANSWERS -The ability to get similar results when
something is measured under the same conditions.
Reliability - CORRECT ANSWERS -The consistency of a measure.
Validity - CORRECT ANSWERS -The assessment of whether a tool is measuring what
it is supposed to measure.
Selection Bias - CORRECT ANSWERS -A sample of people under study is not
representative of the larger population that scientists are looking to make inferences
about.
Retrospective - CORRECT ANSWERS -Describes a study that looks backward in time.
Recall Bias - CORRECT ANSWERS -The inability to accurately remember past
behaviors.
Health - CORRECT ANSWERS -A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-
being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Homeostasis - CORRECT ANSWERS -The tendency toward a relatively stable
equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological
processes.
Disease - CORRECT ANSWERS -A disorder of structure or function in a human,
animal, or plant, especially one that produces specific signs or symptoms, affects a
specific location, and is not simply a direct result of physical injury.
Noncommunicable Disease - CORRECT ANSWERS -A noncommunicable disease
(NCD) is a medical condition or disease that is not caused by infectious agents; it can
refer to chronic diseases which last for long periods of time and progress slowly.
