1 Which specific form of vitamin K is primarily produced by gut microbiota and absorbed in the large intestine, playing a role in bone metabolism in addition to blood coagulation?

A Phylloquinone (K1)
B Menaquinone (K2)
C Menadione (K3)
D Dihydrophylloquinone

2 The complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose through glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation theoretically yields how many net ATP molecules in eukaryotic cells?

A 24
B 30-32
C 36-38
D 40

3 Which lipoprotein is primarily responsible for transporting endogenous triglycerides from the liver to peripheral tissues?

A Chylomicron
B Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL)
C Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL)
D High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL)

4 What is the primary mechanism by which soluble fiber contributes to lowering serum cholesterol levels?

A It increases the reabsorption of bile acids in the ileum.
B It directly binds to cholesterol in the small intestine, preventing absorption.
C It forms a gel-like substance that traps bile acids, leading to their excretion and increased hepatic cholesterol utilization for new bile acid synthesis.
D It enhances the activity of lipoprotein lipase, improving triglyceride clearance.

5 In the context of iron metabolism, which hormone, primarily produced by the liver, is the key regulator of systemic iron homeostasis by controlling iron absorption, recycling, and release?

A Erythropoietin
B Ferritin
C Transferrin
D Hepcidin

6 Which of the following describes the 'Dietary Reference Intake' (DRI) component known as the 'Estimated Average Requirement' (EAR)?

A The average daily nutrient intake level that is estimated to meet the requirements of 97-98% of healthy individuals in a particular life stage and gender group.
B The highest average daily nutrient intake level likely to pose no risk of adverse health effects to almost all individuals in the general population.
C A nutrient intake value that is estimated to meet the requirement of half of the healthy individuals in a particular life stage and gender group.
D A recommended average daily nutrient intake level based on observed or experimentally determined approximations or estimates of nutrient intake by a group of apparently healthy people that are assumed to be adequate.
