Sample Question 1
Fundamentals of Food & Human Nutrition EASY • Nutrition & Dietetics
What is the physiological energy yield (Atwater factor) for carbohydrates, proteins, and fats per gram respectively?
A 4 kcal/g, 4 kcal/g, 9 kcal/g
B 4 kcal/g, 9 kcal/g, 4 kcal/g
C 9 kcal/g, 4 kcal/g, 4 kcal/g
D 7 kcal/g, 4 kcal/g, 9 kcal/g
✓ Correct Answer: A - 4 kcal/g, 4 kcal/g, 9 kcal/g
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
Atwater physiological values: Carbohydrates yield 4 kcal/g, Proteins yield 4 kcal/g, Fats yield 9 kcal/g, and Alcohol yields 7 kcal/g.
Sample Question 2
Principles of Diet Therapy & Clinical Nutrition EASY • Nutrition & Dietetics
Deficiency of Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) leads to which classic nutritional deficiency disease?
A Rickets
B Scurvy
C Pellagra
D Beri-beri
✓ Correct Answer: B - Scurvy
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis; deficiency causes scurvy characterized by bleeding gums, skin hemorrhages, and impaired wound healing.
Sample Question 3
Lifecycle Nutrition & Diet Planning EASY • Nutrition & Dietetics
Night blindness and xerophthalmia are clinical manifestations of the deficiency of which fat-soluble vitamin?
A Vitamin E
B Vitamin D
C Vitamin A (Retinol)
D Vitamin K
✓ Correct Answer: C - Vitamin A (Retinol)
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
Vitamin A is necessary for the synthesis of rhodopsin in retinal rods; its deficiency causes nyctalopia (night blindness) and dry conjunctiva.
Sample Question 4
Community Nutrition, Assessment & Food Safety EASY • Nutrition & Dietetics
Which mineral is an essential constituent of the thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)?
A Magnesium
B Iron
C Zinc
D Iodine
✓ Correct Answer: D - Iodine
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone biosynthesis; its deficiency results in endemic goiter and cretinism.
Sample Question 5
Fundamentals of Food & Human Nutrition EASY • Nutrition & Dietetics
Which of the following is considered an essential amino acid that cannot be synthesized endogenously by the human body?
A Lysine
B Alanine
C Glutamic acid
D Glycine
✓ Correct Answer: A - Lysine
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
Lysine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine, Threonine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Tryptophan, and Histidine are the 9 essential amino acids.
