Questions and Answers

What is the main focus of studying proteomics in relation to nutritional omics?

  • Exploring the effects of diet on gene expression (correct)
  • Understanding the impact of nutrients on metabolic pathways
  • Analyzing the structure of genes in response to nutrients
  • Investigating the role of proteins in cell communication

How does proteomics contribute to nutrigenomics?

  • By exploring the effects of exercise on gene expression
  • By focusing on the relationship between proteins and carbohydrates
  • By studying the interaction between vitamins and minerals
