Exam 5: Protein: The Cellular Foundation

The vegan diet requires supplementation or fortification of:

Which group is least susceptible to insufficient intake of protein?

Each is true of secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA),except one.Which is the exception?

Each is a manifestation of protein deficiency,except one.Which is the exception?

Macaroni and cheese is an example of contributory proteins because the deficiencies in amino acids of one component are offset by the adequacies of another.

Analysis of a vegan's diet reveals that the patient has not been consuming any vitamin B₁₂.Which is an inappropriate dietary intervention?

The chemical structure of proteins is different from that of fats and carbohydrates because proteins contain nitrogen but not carbon.

MyPlate recommends 3 oz of cooked lean meat,poultry,or fish daily.A small chicken drumstick or thigh is equivalent to 3 oz of meat.

In most cases,digestibility and nutritional value are adversely affected by cooking procedures.Although cooking makes egg albumin more readily digestible,cooking soybeans decreases amino acid bioavailability.

If a low-quality protein is the only protein source ingested,it cannot support life or normal growth.High-quality proteins are well balanced in their essential amino acid content.

Although it is controversial as to whether high-protein diets are excessive in content,scientific research has established each fact,except one.Which is the exception?

Each is a combination of plant proteins that creates a complete protein,except one.Which is the exception?

During some food processing procedures,the amino acid lysine is bound to the protein within cereal.This fortification procedure increases bioavailability of protein from the cereal.

Each statement regarding protein-energy malnutrition (PEM)is true,except one.Which is the exception?

The substance that is most supportive of bones and teeth is:

During protein deficiency,a decreased amount of protein in the blood causes an accumulation of fluids within the blood vessels because a loss of osmotic balance occurs.
