1How many kilocalories of energy does one gram of pure carbohydrate typically yield in human metabolism?
A.4 kcal
B.2 kcal
C.7 kcal
D.9 kcal
Explanation: Carbohydrate provides about 4 kcal per gram when fully oxidized. This Atwater factor is used in basic dietary energy calculations taught at Class 11 level.
2Which nutrient class provides the highest energy density per gram?
A.Protein
B.Fat
C.Carbohydrate
D.Water
Explanation: Dietary fat yields about 9 kcal per gram, more than double carbohydrate or protein (about 4 kcal/g each). Water provides no metabolizable energy.
3Which vitamins are classified as fat-soluble?
A.Vitamins B1, B2, B3, and C
B.Vitamins B6, B12, folate, and C
C.Vitamins A, D, E, and K
D.Vitamins C, D, B12, and K
Explanation: Fat-soluble vitamins are A, D, E, and K. They dissolve in fats and oils, are absorbed with dietary lipids, and can be stored in body tissues.
4Night blindness is classically associated with deficiency of which nutrient?
A.Vitamin C
B.Iron
C.Calcium
D.Vitamin A
Explanation: Vitamin A is required for rhodopsin formation in the retina. Early deficiency impairs dark adaptation and causes night blindness (nyctalopia).
5Scurvy results from prolonged deficiency of:
A.Vitamin C
B.Thiamine
C.Niacin
D.Vitamin D
Explanation: Scurvy is caused by vitamin C (ascorbic acid) deficiency. Vitamin C is needed for collagen synthesis; deficiency produces bleeding gums and poor wound healing.
6In the basic Indian food-group system used in school nutrition teaching, cereals and millets mainly supply:
A.Complete high-quality protein only
B.Energy from carbohydrate and some protein and B vitamins
C.Only fat-soluble vitamins
D.Only dietary cholesterol
Explanation: Cereals and millets are staple energy foods rich in starch, with modest protein and B vitamins. They are incomplete proteins and not major fat-soluble vitamin sources.
7Which mineral is most essential for haemoglobin formation?
A.Iron
B.Iodine
C.Sodium
D.Fluorine
Explanation: Iron is a core component of haemoglobin in red blood cells. Deficiency leads to iron-deficiency anaemia, a major school and public-health nutrition topic.
8Water is classified nutritionally as:
A.An energy-yielding macronutrient
B.A non-energy nutrient essential for life processes
C.A fat-soluble vitamin
D.A complete protein
Explanation: Water yields no calories but is essential for temperature regulation, transport of nutrients, excretion, and all metabolic reactions. It is a basic nutrient, not an energy food.
9Proteins are made up of building blocks called:
A.Fatty acids
B.Monosaccharides
C.Amino acids
D.Nucleic acids
Explanation: Proteins are polymers of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Digestion breaks proteins into amino acids for absorption and tissue protein synthesis.
10A complete protein food provides:
A.All essential amino acids in adequate proportions
B.Only non-essential amino acids
C.Carbohydrate and fat but no amino acids
D.Only one essential amino acid
Explanation: Complete (high-biological-value) proteins supply all essential amino acids in amounts adequate for human needs. Many animal foods and complementary plant mixes approach completeness.
