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






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






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






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






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






6. Tissue growth through an increase in cell number






7. Involuntary actions only - such as breathing - heart rate - chemical reations - cellular processes






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






9. Men are typically _______ % body fat






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






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






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






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






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






16. Energy intake > energy output - gaining weight






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






18. _______ and ________ promote abdominal fat






19. 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






20. The day's total energy expenditure through basal metabolism only

32. Men are typically _______ % body fat






33. Tissue growth through an increase in cell number






34. Fat can NEVER be used as a fuel _______






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






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