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






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

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






16. Less lean mass will ______ your basal metabolic rate






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






18. Meals should be eaten every ____ hours






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






20. Percent of total energy expenditure done by physical acitivity






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






22. Tissue growth through an increase in cell number






23. ______ calories = one kilocalorie
