A. Vitamin B1
B. Vitamin B2
C. Vitamin B3
D. Vitamin B12

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Riboflavin is also known as Vitamin B2, which is important for energy production and the metabolism of fats, drugs, and steroids.

2. Which nutrient has the highest satiety value?

A. Complex carbohydrates
B. High-quality protein
C. Low-quality protein
D. Fat

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Fat has the highest satiety value among the listed nutrients. It slows down digestion, stays in the stomach longer, and provides a sustained release of energy, leading to increased feelings of fullness and satisfaction. Complex carbohydrates can also contribute to satiety, but fat generally has a stronger effect. High-quality protein is important for satiety as well, but it is generally not as filling as fat. Low-quality protein does not have as significant satiating effects as high-quality protein or fat.

3. Which food item interferes with the effectiveness of warfarin?

A. Cauliflower
B. Zucchini
C. Green beans
D. Broccoli

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Broccoli is high in vitamin K, which can affect the effectiveness of warfarin. Warfarin is an anticoagulant medication that functions by reducing the activity of vitamin K in the body. When one consumes broccoli, which is rich in vitamin K, it could counteract the anticoagulant effect of warfarin, thereby interfering with its effectiveness. On the other hand, cauliflower, zucchini, and green beans do not have significant levels of vitamin K and hence, are not known to impact the effectiveness of warfarin.
