Vitamins And Other Essential Nutrients

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. This is a complex carbohydrate - but we can't digest it in the small intestine and thus it has minimal dietary calories. However diets high in this are associated with lower cholesterol and colon cancer rates.






2. We need essential unsaturated fatty acids for making what two things?






3. This nutrient is used in: FAD formation Deficiency causes: Ariboflavinosis
