A comprehensive set of questions and answers related to various topics in nutrition and digestive health. It covers a wide range of subjects, including the composition and sources of different types of carbohydrates, the role of fiber in managing conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease, the functions and sources of various enzymes and hormones involved in the digestive process, the characteristics and roles of different lipids and lipoproteins, the structure and functions of proteins, and the differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The document also includes true/false questions and multiple-choice questions to test the reader's understanding of these concepts. Overall, this resource could be highly valuable for students preparing for exams or seeking to deepen their knowledge of human nutrition and digestion.

what disaccharides is lactose made up of and what food is it found in. - ✔✔galactose and glucose found in milk what disaccharides is sucrose made up of and what food is it found in. - ✔✔glucose and fructose found in oranges what disaccharides is maltose made up of and what food is it found in. - ✔✔glucose and glucose found in molasses Describe a distinct reason why soluble fiber can benefit a type 2 diabetic. - ✔✔Fiber binds to bile salts and helps keep blood sugar stable Describe a distinct reason why soluble fiber can benefit someone with cardiovascular disease. - ✔✔Fiber binds to bile salts and helps lower cholesterol For a person following a 2000 kcal diet, the recommendation is ______ grams of fiber daily. - ✔✔ 28 grams This enzyme is made in the pancreas for hydrolyzing triglycerides. - ✔✔Lipase This organ stores bile synthesized by the liver. - ✔✔Gallbladder This GI tract organ is where water and some minerals are absorbed. - ✔✔Large intestine This substance is secreted by the pancreas to neutralize the acidic chime. - ✔✔Sodium bicarbonate
This GI tract organ is where the majority of digestion and absorption occurs. - ✔✔ Sucrase, lactase, and maltase are synthesized here. - ✔✔ This digestive enzyme is made both in the mouth and the pancreas. - ✔✔ Carbs AMDR - ✔✔45%-65% Fat AMDR - ✔✔20%-35% Protein AMDR - ✔✔10%-35% Made from essential fatty acids. - ✔✔ The precursor for active vitamin D. - ✔✔cholesterol Necessary for cell membrane and lipoprotein structure. - ✔✔Phospholipids Contain on average 9 kcals per gram. - ✔✔ Where does carbohydrate digestion begin? - ✔✔The mouth What do you call stored glucose in humans? - ✔✔Glycogen Where can humans store glycogen? - ✔✔In the muscles and the liver What can soluble fiber do that insoluble fiber can't? - ✔✔slow down glucose absorption and bind cholesterol
where does meaningful fat digestion occur? - ✔✔the small intestine what is unique about hydrolisis of fat? - ✔✔bile emulsifies fat and has to be released for fat to become water soluble what is unique about absorption and transport of dietary fat? - ✔✔chylomicrons (lipoprotein) transport fat molecules what happens to bile? - ✔✔going to be released into the liver, soluble fiber could interfere with absorption which lipoprotein carries newly synthesized fat from liver to deliver TG to cells? - ✔✔VLDL- lot of tryglicerides, lipoproteins, and cholesterol which lipoprotein is "synthesized" during circulation after TG's have been stored? - ✔✔LDL- also known as bad cholesterol, made in small intestine which lipoprotein does "reverse cholesterol transport"? - ✔✔HDL- the good cholesterol what hormone directs fatty acid synthesis when macronutrients are plenty? - ✔✔insulin what influences how much insulin is released? - ✔✔blood glucose what causes rapid rise in blood glucose? - ✔✔refined carbohydrates what happens when a fat cell fills to capacity? - ✔✔new ones are made which macronutrient is the most energy dense? - ✔✔fat
which macronutrient gives you the most energy? - ✔✔carbohydrates T or F proteins are made up of amino acids - ✔✔true T or F excess dietary protein is stored by the body as fat - ✔✔true T or F proteins provide structural support in the body - ✔✔true T or F most enzymes in your body are proteins - ✔✔true T or F your body can use protein as an energy source - ✔✔true how many essential amino acids are there? - ✔✔ 9 how many non essential amino acids are there? - ✔✔ 11 how many amino acids are used for protein synthesis? - ✔✔ 20 what is the least important role of amino acids in the body? - ✔✔energy what makes protein different than carbs or fat? - ✔✔it contains nitrogen what makes amino acids different from each other? - ✔✔R-group/ side chain
the following are both generally considered to be good sources of dietary fiber: - ✔✔vegetables and beans dietitians advise cardiac and diabetic patients to increase _____ fiber intake to slow glucose and bind out bile and dietary cholesterol - ✔✔soluble the most common type of fat that we eat and store in the body is _____. - ✔✔trygliceride the part of an amino acid that makes proteins fold up into a unique shape is called: - ✔✔the R group which of the following lipid is NOT a part of triglycerides? - ✔✔cholesterol bile allows dietary fats to be digested through its ability to act as a(n): - ✔✔emulsifier chemical digestion of protein begins in the - ✔✔stomach to help improve your cholesterol profile you could : - ✔✔decrease trans fats, saturated fats and refined carbohydrates all of the following are functions of protein EXCEPT: - ✔✔emulsifier a good example of complimentary proteins are: - ✔✔hummus which of the following is a lipoprotein? - ✔✔chylomicron what is the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes? - ✔✔in type 1 your body does not produce insulin and in type 2 the cells are resistant to the insulin the least important function of protein under normal circumstances is as: - ✔✔energy
all of the following are monosaccharides EXCEPT: - ✔✔maltose a food that contains all of the essential fatty acids is called a: - ✔✔complete protein high protein diets are associated with: - ✔✔kidney stones, low fiber intake, cancer, and osteoprosis the lipoprotein used for reverse cholesterol transport is: - ✔✔HDL only the type of vegetarian called a ______ is at risk of B12 deficiency because B12 is found in all ______ foods. - ✔✔vegan, animal
