Nutrition Science: Energy Balance And Obesity

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Also known as pear shaped - fat is stored in the hips and buttocks - more common in women






2. The increase in risk seen in a high risk group over that seen on the lowest risk group






3. People with lower body weight have a ______ energy expenditure






4. High fat diets typically have more _____






5. Eat ____ energy dense diets - aka more food for less calories






6. Eat when hungry - stop when full






7. Also known as pear shaped - fat is stored in the hips and buttocks - more common in women






8. Involuntary actions only - such as breathing - heart rate - chemical reations - cellular processes






9. Processes that BREAKS DOWN complex compounds for energy release or tissue breakdown - weight loss






10. Fat found interspresed within the muscle fibers






11. Obesity is a chronic disease that depends on both ______ and _______






12. Fiber rich food will ____ eating and increase _____






13. Fat can NEVER be used as a fuel _______






14. Tissue growth through an increase in cell size






15. Meals should be eaten every ____ hours






16. Energy intake < energy output - losing weight






17. Carbon has a valence of:






18. The day's total energy expenditure through basal metabolism only






19. Energy cost of eating - digesting - abosorbtion - transporting - storing - and metabolizing nutrients






20. An athlete in elite-level training for an endurance sport will probably expend an amount of energy equivalent to what percent of their basal metabolic rate in physical activity?






21. Resting energy expenditure makes up ______ of total energy expenditure






22. Women are typically ________ % body fat






23. Small electrodes are placed on the body and the body's resistance to the flow of an electrical charge is measured - well conducting means more lean mass because there is more water






24. The day's total energy expenditure through basal metabolism only






25. Lighter people eat _______ or more meals per day






26. Some energy is lost as:






27. Gold standard for body composition - done in a tank of water - very accurate but not convinient






28. The thermic effect of food account for about ____ % of food intake






29. Tissue growth through an increase in cell number






30. Rate at which basal metabolism occurs






31. The sum of energy expenditure through REE - physical activity - and the thermal activity of food






32. Gold standard for body composition - done in a tank of water - very accurate but not convinient






33. Obesity is ____ % genetic - with _____ genes related to obesity.






34. Tissue growth through an increase in cell size






35. A height weight relationship used to assess obesity - equal to weight in kilograms over height in meters square - does not discriminate between lean mass and fat tissue






36. A cessation of normal menstuation caused by inadequate estrogen levels resulting from excessively low body fat - causes bone mineral loss and leads to weakened bones






37. Processes that BREAKS DOWN complex compounds for energy release or tissue breakdown - weight loss






38. High endurance sports like rowing - running - and nordic skiing can use up to ______ kcal and hour - whereas sitting uses about ______ k/cal an hour
