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.

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






18. Tissue growth through an increase in cell size






19. 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

21. Some energy is lost as:






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






23. People with higher body weights have a ______ energy expenditure






24. Tissue growth through an increase in cell number






25. An increased risk in heart disease - cancer - type 2 diabetes - stroke - hypertension - and arthritis are all associated with






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






27. Fat can NEVER be used as a fuel _______






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






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






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






31. Number of calories in one pound






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






33. Fiber rich food will ____ eating and increase _____






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






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

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






48. 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
