When determining the amounts of foods from each group to eat using the USDA Food Intake Patterns, you need to remember that:
 a. the recommended amounts will vary, depending on age, physical activity, and gender.
  b. the recommended amounts are the same for all food groups to provide nutritional adequacy.
  c. you can eat the same foods every day, as long as you are selecting from all food groups.
  d. you should not eat more than the recommended amounts from each food group.
 e. you have to use a correction factor of 1.5 for grains.

Q. 2

When the absorbed monosaccharides reach the liver, specialist enzymes convert fructose and galactose to _____.
  1.glycogen
  2.starch
  3.glucose
  4.maltose
  5.triglycerides

Q. 3

The minimum carbohydrate intake to avoid ketosis, as set by the DRI Committee, is _____.
  1.130 grams per pound of body weight
  2.1.3 kilograms per day
  3.130 grams a day
  4.13 milligrams per pound of body weight
  5.None of these choices

Q. 4

When you see that foods have a high nutrient density, you should:
 a. avoid them because they are too high in calories.
 b. choose them if you are trying to lose weight because they have no calories.
 c. use them sparingly because they aren't as healthy.
 d. choose them only if you are not meeting your nutrient needs with a supplement.
 e. choose them because they form the foundation of the diet in the USDA Food Intake Patterns.

Q. 5

The monosaccharides pass to the capillaries within the intestinal wall, and move through the blood stream to the _____.
  1.heart
  2.kidneys
  3.liver
  4.lymphatic system
  5.large intestines

Q. 6

An important role of the Food Lists for Diabetes system of categorizing foods is to:
 a. provide food lists for people who want an exact match on all nutrients in a food category.
  b. provide groupings of foods with similar carbohydrate, fat, protein, and calorie contents.
  c. calculate the exact number of calories provided by a person's diet.
 d. have foods available from one group to substitute for foods not liked in another group.
  e. tell people with diabetes exactly what they can and cannot eat.

Q. 7

As carbohydrates reach the cells lining the intestinal walls, enzymes break them down to the monosaccharides _____, _____ and _____.
  1.glucose, fructose, galactose
  2.sucrose, maltose, lactose
  3.glucose, fructose and maltose
