Pyroxidine (B6) deficiency, deficiency, also known as beriberi, can cause symptoms of fatigue, confusion, movement impairment, pain in the lower extremities, swelling, and heart failure e. 1 cup of vegetarian baked beans has more folate than ½ cup of boiled spinach. Question 3 Not yet answered Marked out of 1.00 Flag question Question text Which of the following statements about micronutrients important for bone health is FALSE? Question 3Select one: a. Phosphate is present in many foods, including meat, fish, dairy products, processed foods, and beverages. b. Vitamin D deficiency is rare because there is an abundance of dietary sources (such as cod liver oil, salmon, and fortified milk) for this vitamin. c. Parathyroid hormone and calcitriol stimulate bone resorption, increasing not only blood levels of calcium, but also blood phosphate levels d. A magnesium-deficient diet is associated with decreased levels of parathyroid hormone and the lowered activation of vitamin D, which may lead to an impairment of bone remodeling e. Without adequate intake of vitamin D, less than 15 percent of calcium is absorbed from foods or supplements. Question 4 Not yet answered Marked out of 1.00 Flag question Question text Which of the following statements about body weight are FALSE? Question 4Select one: a. Although it is relatively rare, anorexia nervosa is a serious psychiatric illness that can lead to extreme nutrient inadequacy and eventually to organ malfunction b.

When BMIs increase over 25, there is an increased risk of developing diseases, such as heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, postmenopausal breast cancer, colon cancer, stroke, osteoarthritis, and liver disease d. All underweight people have anorexia nervosa, and similarly, all overweight people have an eating disorder. e. The number of people considered overweight and obese in the world is now greater than the number that are starving. Question 5 Not yet answered Marked out of 1.00 Flag question Question text Which of the following statements is FALSE? Question 5Select one: a. Anorexia nervosa is strongly correlated with low peak bone mass and a low BMD. b. foodborne illness caused by the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes can cause spontaneous abortion and fetal or newborn meningitis c. Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is dependent on several factors, such as body size, body composition, age, body temperature, and thyroid hormone levels. d. An adult’s resting metabolic rate is two times that of a baby. e. During childhood, long-bone growth stretches muscles and ligaments, which results in many children experiencing “growing pains.” Question 6 Not yet answered Marked out of 1.00 Flag question Question text Which of the following statements is TRUE? Question 6Select one: a. Middle-aged adults should increase their intake of folate and vitamins D and B5 to prevent elevation of homocysteine, which can damage arterial walls and lead to atherosclerosis b. Adult males require more of vitamins C and K, along with riboflavin, niacin and iron, than adult females. c. During middle ages and elderly life, adults should consume nutrient-dense foods to maintain health and wellness. d. During menopause, women should increase their intake of caffeine, spicy foods, and alcohol to help prevent hot flashes. e. Due to increases in lean body mass and metabolic rate, older adults require more energy than younger adults. Question 7 Not yet answered Marked out of 1.00 Flag question Question text Which of the following statements about fluid and electrolyte balance is FALSE? Question 7Select one: a. The cell (by using many sodium-potassium pumps in the membrane) continuously pumps sodium ions out to establish a chemical gradient, which facilitates the transport of glucose into the cell. b. Thirst is triggered by either a decrease in blood volume or an increase in blood osmolality. c. Very little sodium is required in the diet because the kidneys actively reabsorb sodium. d. Electrolytes are substances that, when dissolved in water, disassociate into charged ions. Positively charged electrolytes are called anions. e. Chloride is the main anion in the extracellular fluid and follows sodium when it is transported in order to maintain charge neutrality. Question 8 Not yet answered Marked out of 1.00 Flag question Question text Which of the following statements about energy storage is TRUE? Question 8Select one: a. When there is a high concentration of ATP and acetyl-CoA catabolism is shut off and the synthesis of triglycerides, called lipogenesis, is stopped. b. When enough glycogen is produced (reaches its physiological limit), excess glucose is converted into fat. c. Glucose can be stored only in pancreas and liver tissues: for each molecule of glucose stored, one molecule of ATP is used. d. When glucose is stored, it is in the form of cellulose, a highly branched macromolecule consisting of thousands of glucose monomers held together by chemical bonds. e. Glycogen is a better alternative to fat for energy storage because glycogen is more compact (per unit of energy), while fat also stores water, which is heavy and increases body weight.

About 1,000 to 1,400 calories per day based on height b. 3 meals a day, spaced about 6-hours apart c. A sharp increase in Protein and a decrease in Carbohydrates d.
