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.

2. This nutrient is used in: Light detection in eyes Deficiency causes: Night Blindness






3. This nutrient is used in: NAD formation Deficiency causes: Pellagra






4. This nutrient is used in: Carboxylation Reactions Deficiency causes: Dermatitis






5. These nutrients are used in protein Synthesis - however there is no problem with deficiency






6. This nutrient is used in: Blood Clotting Deficiency causes: Hemorrhaging






7. These nutrients are used for membranes /energy however deficiency does not occur because they can be made from excess amino acids or carbs






8. This nutrient is used in: Decarboxylation Reactions Deficiency causes: Beri Beri






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






10. This nutrient is used in: Blood Clotting Deficiency causes: Hemorrhaging






11. This nutrient is used in: Odd Fatty Acids/Folic Acid Deficiency causes: Megaloblastic Anemia






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






13. This nutrient is needed for energy but deficiency does not occur because it can be made from amino acids






14. This nutrient is needed for energy but deficiency does not occur because it can be made from amino acids

20. These nutrients are used in protein Synthesis - however there is no problem with deficiency






21. This nutrient is used in: Calcium Uptake Deficiency causes: Rickets






22. This nutrient is used in: One Carbon Transfer reactions Deficiency causes: Megaloblastic Anemia






23. 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.






24. What two types of fats are not needed in our diet since we can make our own?






25. This nutrient is used in: Hemes and Cytochromes Deficiency causes: Anemia & Fatigue






26. This nutrient is used in: Decarboxylation Reactions Deficiency causes: Beri Beri






27. What two types of fats are not needed in our diet since we can make our own?






28. This nutrient is used in: Deaminations/aldehyde oxidations Deficiency causes: Dermatitis






29. This nutrient is used in: Collagen Formation Deficiency causes: Scurvy






30. This nutrient is used in: One Carbon Transfer reactions Deficiency causes: Megaloblastic Anemia






31. This nutrient is used in: Teeth Deficiency causes: Cavities






32. This nutrient is used in: CoA formation Deficiency causes: Emotional Problems






33. This nutrient is used in: Antioxidant Reactions Deficiency causes: Sterility






34. This nutrient is used in: Hemes and Cytochromes Deficiency causes: Anemia & Fatigue






35. This nutrient is used in: Deaminations/aldehyde oxidations Deficiency causes: Dermatitis






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






37. These nutrients are used for membranes and hormone synthesis Deficiency causes: Dermatitis/Heart problems
