Sample UPMSP High School Home Science Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the UPMSP High School Home Science exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1How much physiological energy is obtained from the oxidation of one gram of pure carbohydrate in the human body?
A.4 kcal
B.9 kcal
C.7 kcal
D.1 kcal
Explanation: Digestible carbohydrates yield about 4 kilocalories (kcal) of usable energy per gram and are the body's primary quick fuel.
2Which nutrient class supplies the highest energy density per gram among ordinary foods?
A.Proteins
B.Fats (lipids)
C.Water
D.Carbohydrates
Explanation: Dietary fats provide about 9 kcal per gram—more than double the energy of carbohydrate or protein (about 4 kcal/g each).
3A balanced diet is best defined as a diet that:
A.Consists only of expensive packaged snacks
B.Contains only cereals and fats in large amounts
C.Provides all essential nutrients in correct proportions for age, sex, and activity
D.Excludes all vegetables and fruits
Explanation: A balanced diet supplies carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, fibre, and water in amounts suited to the individual's needs.
4Which vitamin deficiency is classically associated with night blindness (nyctalopia)?
A.Vitamin D
B.Vitamin K
C.Vitamin C
D.Vitamin A
Explanation: Vitamin A (retinol) is required for rhodopsin in the retina; deficiency first impairs vision in dim light and can progress to xerophthalmia.
5Kwashiorkor in young children is primarily a severe deficiency of:
A.Dietary protein (with relatively adequate energy)
B.Vitamin K only
C.Iodine only
D.Dietary fat only
Explanation: Kwashiorkor is a form of severe protein-energy malnutrition dominated by protein deficiency, often with oedema, fatty liver, and skin/hair changes.
6Which of the following is a complete protein food commonly used in Indian diets?
A.Polished white rice alone
B.Egg
C.Pure sugar
D.Refined oil alone
Explanation: Eggs contain all essential amino acids in good proportions and are therefore regarded as a high-quality (complete) protein food.
7Iron-deficiency anaemia is most directly prevented by adequate intake of iron-rich foods together with:
A.Only refined oils
B.Only pure sugar water
C.Vitamin C–rich foods that enhance non-haem iron absorption
D.Excess pure salt only
Explanation: Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) improves absorption of plant (non-haem) iron; pairing dals/greens with citrus or amla is a practical strategy.
8Which cooking method generally retains water-soluble vitamins better than prolonged open boiling of vegetables?
A.Discarding all cooking water after long boiling
B.Deep-frying until dark brown
C.Leaving cut vegetables soaked overnight then boiling hard
D.Steaming or pressure cooking with minimal water
Explanation: Steaming and short pressure cooking with little water reduce leaching and heat-oxidation losses of vitamins B and C compared with long open boiling.
9In the five-food-group approach commonly taught in Indian Home Science, which group is the main source of calcium and high-quality protein?
A.Milk and milk products group
B.Sugar and jaggery only
C.Spices alone
D.Fats and oils group only
Explanation: Milk and milk products supply calcium, riboflavin, and good-quality protein and are emphasised for bone health and growth.
10Goitre is most closely associated with deficiency of which mineral?
A.Phosphorus only
B.Iodine
C.Sodium only as pure salt
D.Fluorine only
Explanation: Iodine is required for thyroid hormone synthesis; chronic deficiency enlarges the thyroid (goitre) and can impair foetal brain development.
