are digested in the stomach. b.
help regulate body functions. c.
provide the body’s major source of energy. d.
ANS: D
Carbohydrates are the major source of energy for the body, comprising approximately
50% of total caloric intake.
3. Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the
central nervous system and muscles. a.
heart and liver. b.
small intestine. c.
liver and muscles. d.
ANS: D
Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles.
4. An example of a food that contains a fructose sugar is
milk. a.
honey. b.
molasses. c.

5. Examples of the simple carbohydrates include
glucose and galactose. a.
sucrose and starch. b.
lactose and lignin. c.
fructose and glycogen. d.
ANS: A
Monosaccharides and disaccharides are the simple sugar units used to build complex
carbohydrates. The monosaccharides are glucose, galactose, and fructose.
6. The sugar to which all other sugars are converted and the one that circulates in the
blood to provide major fuel for the body’s cells is
sucrose. a.
fructose. b.
glucose. c.
maltose. d.
ANS: C
Glucose is a monosaccharide that is the basic, single sugar in the body’s metabolism.
Glucose is the form of sugar circulating in the blood and is the primary fuel for the
cells.
7. Carbohydrates are quick energy foods because
they do not take long to prepare and are readily available. a.
the human body can rapidly break them down to yield energy. b.
they are abundant in fast foods and can be readily absorbed. c.
they can yield more energy than other nutrients. d.
ANS: B
Carbohydrates are considered quick energy foods because they can readily be
metabolized in the body to yield glucose, the main fuel source for the body.
8. The carbohydrate form in which glucose is stored in the body is
starch. a.
polysaccharide. b.
glycogen. c.
fructose. d.
ANS: C
Glucose is stored in the body as glycogen.
9. Of the following, the best sources of dietary fiber are
fruit and fruit juice. a.
rice and crackers. b.
iceberg lettuce and tomato juice. c.
lentils and corn. d.
ANS: D
Dietary fiber is found in unrefined and whole plant foods. Of the choices listed, lentils
and corn provide the highest amount of dietary fiber.
10. Types of dietary fiber include
lactose, galactose, and maltose. a.
polysaccharides and polyols. b.
starch, ptyalin, and glucose. c.
cellulose, lignin, and noncellulose. d.
ANS: D

15 a.
21 b.
25 c.
30 d.
ANS: C
The recommended intake of fiber for men and women age 50 years and younger is 38
g/day and 25 g/day, respectively.
12. A health professional is determining the caloric intake for a patient. Her caloric intake
from fiber would be
3.4 kcal/g. a.
0 kcal/g. b.
4 kcal/g. c.
9 kcal/g. d.
ANS: B
Human beings lack the necessary enzymes to digest dietary fiber, and so, unlike other
carbohydrates, dietary fiber does not provide energy.
13. Wavelike contractions of the muscle fibers of the stomach and intestinal walls are
called
segmentation. a.
peristalsis. b.
metabolism. c.
digestion. d.
ANS: B
The mechanical digestive process in the stomach entailing wavelike contractions of
the muscle fibers of the stomach wall that mix food particles with gastric secretions is
called peristalsis.
14. A basket of fruit contains ripe grapes, apples, and oranges as well as pears and

lignin. a.
starch. b.
cellulose. c.
pectin. d.
ANS: D
Pectin is a water-soluble fiber found in many fruits. Cellulose and lignin are insoluble
fibers. Starch is another polysaccharide found in grains, legumes, and other vegetables
and in small amounts in fruit. Starch does not necessarily contain dietary fiber.
