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






2. Energy intake > energy output - gaining weight






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






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






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






6. Alcohol ______ fat metabolism






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






8. Functional unit of energy






9. Type of exercise that involves weight training - pilates - etc - isolated movements and a higher level of resistance - can increase BMR






10. Fat can NEVER be used as a fuel _______






11. Two things you can do to increase your basal metabloic rate






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






13. Two things that can mask fat loss






14. Men are typically _______ % body fat






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






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






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






18. Food availity - boredom - etc. are ______ cues






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






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






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






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






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






24. You want weight loss to be ______ loss






25. Feeling hungry is an _____ cue






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






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






28. Fat found interspresed within the muscle fibers






29. ______ calories = one kilocalorie






30. Energy intake > energy output - gaining weight






31. Men are typically _______ % body fat






32. Lighter people eat _______ or more meals per day






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






34. 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






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