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. Carbon has a valence of:






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






3. Group that is known for their thrifty metabolism






4. High fat diets typically have more _____






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






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






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






8. Tissue growth through an increase in cell size






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






10. Fat found interspresed within the muscle fibers






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






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






13. ______ calories = one kilocalorie






14. An athlete in elite-level training for an endurance sport will probably expend an amount of energy equivalent to what percent of their basal metabolic rate in physical activity?






15. Tables originally designed by insurance companies - describe normal height to weight ratio






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






17. The sum of energy expenditure through REE - physical activity - and the thermal activity of food






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






19. Feeling hungry is an _____ cue






20. Two things that can mask fat loss






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






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






23. Less lean mass will ______ your basal metabolic rate






24. An athlete in elite-level training for an endurance sport will probably expend an amount of energy equivalent to what percent of their basal metabolic rate in physical activity?






25. Alcohol ______ fat metabolism






26. Eat when hungry - stop when full






27. Some energy is lost as:






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






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






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






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






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






33. Tissue growth through an increase in cell number






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






35. 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






36. 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






37. Energy intake < energy output - losing weight






38. 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






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






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






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






42. Meals should be eaten every ____ hours






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






44. Functional unit of energy






45. Rate at which basal metabolism occurs






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






47. You want weight loss to be ______ loss






48. Energy intake < energy output - losing weight






49. Percent of total energy expenditure done by physical acitivity






50. Tissue growth through an increase in cell number
