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. Process that CREATES more complex chemical compounds for energy storage or synthesis - weight gain






2. Tables originally designed by insurance companies - describe normal height to weight ratio






3. Measure used to define android obesity - a ratio greater than 1:1:1






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






5. Fat found interspresed within the muscle fibers






6. Coffin like device that is part of new technology that can calculate body mass by measuring air displacement






7. Loss of lean body mass is the ____ term effect of not eating - while a slower metabolism and gluconeogenesis are the _____ term effects






8. 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






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






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






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






12. Voluntary muscle action - walking - running - sitting - talking - etc.






13. Women are typically ________ % body fat






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






15. ______ calories = one kilocalorie






16. Eat when hungry - stop when full






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






18. Of people trying to lose weight - over the course of a year only _____ % are succesful






19. Functional unit of energy






20. 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






21. Alcohol ______ fat metabolism






22. Voluntary muscle action - walking - running - sitting - talking - etc.






23. Meals should be eaten every ____ hours






24. Loss of lean body mass is the ____ term effect of not eating - while a slower metabolism and gluconeogenesis are the _____ term effects






25. Some energy is lost as:






26. High fat diets typically have more _____






27. Eat when hungry - stop when full






28. Total body mass is a measure of fat mass+lean mass






29. Carbon has a valence of:






30. A very low calorie diet will have less than ______ kcals per day






31. Energy intake = energy output - not gaining or losing weight






32. Two things that can mask fat loss






33. 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






34. Men are typically _______ % body fat






35. 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






36. Alternative to measuring amount of fat layer under the skin - use these tools

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






41. Lighter people eat _______ or more meals per day






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






43. Energy intake = energy output - not gaining or losing weight






44. 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






45. Some energy is lost as:
