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. Fat found interspresed within the muscle fibers






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






3. Energy intake > energy output - gaining weight






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






5. 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?






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






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






8. Tissue growth through an increase in cell size






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






10. Energy intake < energy output - losing weight






11. Group that is known for their thrifty metabolism






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






19. High fat diets typically have more _____






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






21. Percent of total energy expenditure done by physical acitivity






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






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






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






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






26. _______ and ________ promote abdominal fat






27. Of people trying to lose weight - over the course of a year only _____ % are succesful






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






29. Basal metabloic processes occur in _______






30. Meals should be eaten every ____ hours






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






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






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






34. The combination of low bone density - amenorrhea - and eating disorder that is seen in female athletes with very little body fat






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






43. Tissue growth through an increase in cell size






44. The combination of low bone density - amenorrhea - and eating disorder that is seen in female athletes with very little body fat






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






46. Number of calories in one pound
