Question 1:
True or False: Taste and texture are often the 2 most important reasons specific foods are
consumed in North America.
True
Question 2:
True or False. If false, explain why it is false. Nutrition is the science that links foods to health
and weight.
False: Nutrition is the science that links foods to health and disease.
Question 3:
Explain the difference between Internal and External drives that influence our desire to eat.
The internal drive is hunger and is associated with negative sensations like churning, growling
and pain in the stomach.
External drives have to do with appetite and are associated with positive food sensations and
lead us to eat when we are not hungry.
Question 4:
You are at an "all you can eat” buffet. On the first pass through the line, you fill your plate with
a large quantity of foods. After eating it, you go back for a second portion of the foods you
liked. However, the food is less appealing the second time around, and you place a smaller
quantity on your plate because you feel full. Considering the physiology as you eat,
(1) explain what hormones are released (list specifically) as the stomach stretches.
(2) List the area of the brain that provides neural regulation and appetite suppression to
inhibit eating.
As the stomach is filled and stretches, hormones are released that cause satiety (Leptin,
serotonin, cholecystokinin (CCK). These hormones can travel to the brain (hypothalamus) and
activate the satiety center
List 3 hormones associated with satiety and explain how at least one works to decrease
hunger
1. Leptin – alerts the brain to turn off hunger center and activates satiety when
consuming a meal
2. Serotonin – affects motility and communicates with the brain for satiety
3. Cholecystokinin (CCK) – slows down stomach emptying to give a feeling of fullness
a. Also increases bile production and release from gallbladder
, Question 5:
A nutrient is a substance that can promote growth and development, maintain tissues and cells,
fuel the body for physical and metabolic work, or regulate a body process.
A mineral is an inorganic micronutrient that regulates body processes and provides structure
Question 6:
Multiple Choice:
Which type of molecule is defined as a substance that does not contain carbon?
Macronutrient
Inorganic
Organic
Micronutrient
A macronutrient is needed in large amounts in the body, whereas micronutrients are needed in
small amounts
Question 7:
True or False. If false, explain why it is false.
A vitamin is an inorganic micronutrient that regulates body processes. FALSE:
A vitamin is an organic micronutrient that regulates body processes.
Question 8:
Multiple Choice:
Which of the following is an inorganic macronutrient? Carbohydrates
Water
Minerals
Proteins
Vitamins
Question 9:
List (A) the names for simple and complex forms of CARBOHYDRATES, (B) at least 2 of their
functions, and (C) at least 2 common sources of the nutrient in the diet.
A. Sugars and starches
B. Primary source of energy, spare protein or prevent ketosis
True or False: Taste and texture are often the 2 most important reasons specific foods are
consumed in North America.
