Poor growth and repair of body tissues
Immediate loss of all body water
An inability to absorb oxygen in the lungs
Excess production of vitamin C
8.
Why does a very active teenager usually need more food energy than a less active teenager of similar size?
More energy is transferred during muscle activity and respiration
Activity prevents all digestion
Active people do not require protein
Exercise removes the need for a balanced diet

Only sweets and a sugary drink
Only cooking oil
Only salt and water
10.
Which nutrient pair is correctly matched to a main function?

1700 kJ
425 kJ
852 kJ
8500 kJ
12.
Why is dietary fibre important even though it is not digested for energy?
It helps food move through the digestive system
It replaces all vitamins in the diet
It is converted directly into oxygen
It prevents water absorption completely
