Question 3

In one day, a person consumes 2000 kcal/day made up of 90 g of fat, 200g carbohydrates, and 97.5 g protein.  What is the % kcal from fat and does it conform to the AMDR for fat?

  1. The %kcal from fat = 40.5%, which does NOT conform to the AMDR for fat.
  2. The %kcal from fat = 18%, which does NOT conform to the AMDR for fat.
  3. The %kcal from fat = 18%, which does conform to the AMDR for fat
  4. The %kcal from fat = 40.5%, which conforms to the AMDR for fat.

Question 4

Why are alpha-linolenic acid and linoleic acid important fatty acids?

  1. Both are essential fatty acids. Alpha-linolenic acid is an omega-3 fatty acid and linoleic acid is an omega-6 fatty acid. Another important fatty acid, EPA, can be biosynthesized from linoleic acid.
  2. Both are essential fatty acids. Alpha-linolenic acid is an omega-6 fatty acid and linoleic acid is an omega-3 fatty acid. Another important fatty acid DHA can be biosynthesized from alpha-linolenic acid.
  3. Alpha-linolenic acid is essential fatty acid. It is also an omega-3 fatty acid. Linoleic acid is biosynthesized from alpha-linolenic acid.
  4. Both are essential fatty acids. Alpha-linolenic acid is an omega-3 fatty acid and linoleic acid is an omega-6 fatty acid. Another important fatty acid EPA can be biosynthesized from alpha-linolenic acid.
