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






2. High fat diets typically have more _____






3. Group that is known for their thrifty metabolism






4. Percent of total energy expenditure done by physical acitivity






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






6. Two things that can mask fat loss






7. _______ and ________ promote abdominal fat






8. Eat when hungry - stop when full






9. Fat can NEVER be used as a fuel _______






10. Functional unit of energy






11. Process that CREATES more complex chemical compounds for energy storage or synthesis - weight gain






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






13. Tissue growth through an increase in cell size






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






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






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






17. ______ calories = one kilocalorie






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






19. Fat found interspresed within the muscle fibers






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






21. Meals should be eaten every ____ hours






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






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

25. Basal metabloic processes occur in _______






26. When trying to lose weight you should eat regular ______ containing meals






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






28. 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






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






30. High endurance sports like rowing - running - and nordic skiing can use up to ______ kcal and hour - whereas sitting uses about ______ k/cal an hour






31. 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?






32. When trying to lose weight you should eat regular ______ containing meals






33. Food availity - boredom - etc. are ______ cues






34. Energy intake < energy output - losing weight






35. Carbon has a valence of:

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






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






39. Two things that can mask fat loss






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






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






42. Number of calories in one pound






43. Energy intake < energy output - losing weight
