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.

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






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






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






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

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






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






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






20. Rate at which basal metabolism occurs






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






22. Percent of total energy expenditure done by physical acitivity
