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. Number of calories in one pound






2. You can minimize muscle loss during weight loss by _____ your muscles






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






4. Percent of total energy expenditure done by basal metabolic rate






5. You want weight loss to be ______ loss






6. 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






7. Fat that surrounds the organs and is located in the abdominal cavity






8. Your basal (or resting) metabolic rate is most reliably and directly related to:






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






10. 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






11. Fat that surrounds the organs and is located in the abdominal cavity






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






13. Functional unit of energy






14. Fat can NEVER be used as a fuel _______






15. Some energy is lost as:






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






17. The combination of low bone density - amenorrhea - and eating disorder that is seen in female athletes with very little body fat






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






19. Tissue growth through an increase in cell number






20. Basal metabloic processes occur in _______






21. Energy intake > energy output - gaining weight






22. Percent of total energy expenditure done by basal metabolic rate






23. Meals should be eaten every ____ hours






24. When absolute amounts of fat (number of grams) are considered - fat consumption in the US is:






25. Also known as apple shape - most of the fat is carried abdominally - associated with grater disease risk - usually men






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






27. Men are typically _______ % body fat






28. Tissue growth through an increase in cell size






29. The fat that is found right under the skin's surface






30. People with higher body weights have a ______ energy expenditure






31. Energy intake < energy output - losing weight






32. Feeling hungry is an _____ cue






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






40. Tissue growth through an increase in cell number






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






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






43. Your basal (or resting) metabolic rate is most reliably and directly related to:






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






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






46. Carbon has a valence of:






47. 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






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






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






50. High energy chemical compound used in the body ti transfer energy from nutrients to various life processes
