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. The first point of unsaturation -and the location of the first double bond are indicated by the:






2. Less lean mass will ______ your basal metabolic rate






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

27. Alcohol ______ fat metabolism






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






29. A genetically determined - energy efficient metabolism - an adaptation useful for a storing fat in times of food shortage






30. _______ and ________ promote abdominal fat






31. Fat can NEVER be used as a fuel _______






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






33. Theory that one's body tends to gravitate to a particular weight






34. The number of cases of a condition in a given population or the proportion of the population suffering from that condition






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. Type of exercise that is the continous - repetivitve use of large muscles - has a high energy expenditure rate






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






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






39. Women are typically ________ % body fat






40. Percent of total energy expenditure done by physical acitivity






41. Fiber rich food will ____ eating and increase _____






42. When trying to lose weight you should eat regular ______ containing meals

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






45. 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

47. _______ and ________ promote abdominal fat






48. Tissue growth through an increase in cell size






49. 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
