1Which macronutrient provides approximately 9 kcal of energy per gram when metabolised by the body?
A.Dietary fat
B.Protein
C.Carbohydrate
D.Dietary fibre
Explanation: Fats are the most energy-dense macronutrient, yielding about 9 kcal per gram, which is why high-fat foods are very calorie-dense. This is a foundational fact in the nutrition unit of the health-education syllabus.
2A prolonged deficiency of vitamin C in the diet leads to which disease?
A.Rickets
B.Night blindness
C.Scurvy
D.Goitre
Explanation: Scurvy is the classic vitamin C deficiency disease, causing bleeding gums, poor wound healing and joint pain, because vitamin C is needed for collagen formation. It is prevented by regular intake of citrus fruits and fresh vegetables.
3Which food is the best source of haem iron, the form of iron most easily absorbed by the body?
A.Spinach
B.Lean red meat
C.White bread
D.Butter
Explanation: Haem iron, found in animal foods such as red meat, is absorbed far more efficiently than the non-haem iron in plant foods. Adequate iron intake prevents iron-deficiency anaemia, a common problem in adolescence.
4A man weighs 70 kg and is 1.75 m tall. What is his Body Mass Index (BMI) and its classification?
A.24.5 kg/m² — overweight
B.19.1 kg/m² — underweight
C.22.9 kg/m² — healthy weight
D.28.6 kg/m² — obese
Explanation: BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)² = 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) = 70 ÷ 3.0625 ≈ 22.9 kg/m², which falls in the healthy range of 18.5–24.9. Being able to calculate and classify BMI is a core skill in the nutrition syllabus.
5Which group of vitamins is water-soluble and therefore needs to be consumed regularly because it is not stored in large amounts?
A.Vitamins A, D, E and K
B.Vitamin D only
C.Vitamin E only
D.The B-complex vitamins and vitamin C
Explanation: The B-complex vitamins and vitamin C dissolve in water, are poorly stored and excess is excreted in urine, so a regular dietary supply is needed. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) are stored in the liver and fatty tissues.
6Which vitamin is required for collagen synthesis and also improves the absorption of non-haem iron from plant foods?
A.Vitamin C
B.Vitamin A
C.Vitamin D
D.Vitamin K
Explanation: Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is essential for forming collagen in skin, blood vessels and connective tissue, and it reduces non-haem iron to a more absorbable form. Drinking orange juice with a legume meal is a classic example taught in the syllabus.
7On a 2,000 kcal daily diet in which 30% of energy comes from fat, how many grams of fat does this correspond to (fat yields 9 kcal/g)?
A.200 g
B.About 67 g
C.About 33 g
D.About 150 g
Explanation: 30% of 2,000 kcal is 600 kcal from fat. Dividing by 9 kcal per gram gives about 67 g of fat. This kind of energy-percentage calculation is a typical application task in the nutrition unit.
8Which nutrient should women take in adequate amounts before conception and in early pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects such as spina bifida?
A.Vitamin B12
B.Vitamin K
C.Folic acid (vitamin B9)
D.Vitamin E
Explanation: Folic acid is essential for the correct closure of the embryonic neural tube in the first weeks of pregnancy. Health authorities recommend supplementation before and during early pregnancy, which is why it appears in both the nutrition and reproductive-health units.
9Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the traditional Mediterranean diet?
A.Olive oil as the main source of added fat
B.Daily consumption of large portions of red meat
C.Abundant vegetables, fruit and legumes
D.Moderate consumption of fish and poultry
Explanation: In the Mediterranean dietary pattern red meat is eaten only rarely and in small amounts, sitting at the top of the food pyramid. Its hallmark is plant foods, olive oil, legumes and moderate fish and dairy intake, a pattern linked to lower cardiovascular disease.
10Long-term iodine deficiency in a population is classically associated with which condition?
A.Type 2 diabetes
B.Hypertension
C.Iron-deficiency anaemia
D.Endemic goitre
Explanation: Iodine is needed to synthesise thyroid hormones; when intake is chronically low the thyroid enlarges, producing goitre. The use of iodised salt and seafood consumption prevent it, a standard public-health nutrition example.
