    Calories are energy measurement contained in food bonds that hold food molecules together 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Calories are indeed a unit of measurement used to quantify the energy content of food. They represent the amount of energy that can be obtained from breaking down the bonds within food molecules during digestion. Therefore, the statement "Calories are energy measurement contained in food bonds that hold food molecules together" is true.

    What is energy metabolism?

    • Energy that is used during metabolic reactions weather it's anabolic or catabolic

    • Rate at which energy is derived from food

    • Calories used to maintain body composition

    • Rate at which calories are digested

    Correct Answer
    A. Energy that is used during metabolic reactions weather it's anabolic or catabolic
    Explanation
    Energy metabolism refers to the process by which the body converts food into energy through metabolic reactions. These reactions can be either anabolic, involving the building up of molecules, or catabolic, involving the breaking down of molecules. Energy is utilized during these reactions to support various bodily functions and activities. This process is essential for maintaining the body's energy balance and ensuring that it has enough energy to carry out its daily tasks.

    The statement is true because a waist size below 40 inches is generally considered to be within the normal range for men. Waist size is often used as an indicator of overall health and excess abdominal fat has been linked to an increased risk of various health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. However, it is important to note that individual body types and factors such as height and muscle mass can also influence what is considered a normal waist size for an individual.

    What is basal metabolisim?

    • Rate at which body uses energy

    • Rate at which energy is derived from body

    • Sum of all involuntary actions used to sustain life

    Correct Answer
    A. Sum of all involuntary actions used to sustain life
    Explanation
    Basal metabolism refers to the sum of all involuntary actions that are necessary to sustain life. These actions include processes like breathing, circulation, and maintaining body temperature. Basal metabolism is responsible for the majority of energy expenditure in the body, even at rest. It represents the minimum amount of energy required to keep the body functioning properly.

    Some factors that can. Influence your BMI? (body mass index)

    • Sex,age,weight,color

    • Fever,environment,gender,weight,height,growth,body composition

    • Hormones,chemicals,body composition,physical activity

    • Calorie intake

    Correct Answer
    A. Fever,environment,gender,weight,height,growth,body composition
    Explanation
    The factors that can influence BMI include fever, environment, gender, weight, height, growth, and body composition. Fever can temporarily increase BMI due to water retention and inflammation. Environment can affect BMI through access to healthy food options and opportunities for physical activity. Gender can influence BMI as men tend to have higher muscle mass and lower body fat percentage compared to women. Weight and height are directly related to BMI calculation. Growth during childhood and adolescence can impact BMI as well. Finally, body composition, which refers to the proportion of muscle, fat, and bone in the body, can affect BMI.

    What is thermo genesis?

    • Beginning of heat energy

    • The calories used during digestion when the body is adapting to extreme weather

    • When sponge bob eats fish

    • When heat energy is used by the body in the cold

    Correct Answer
    A. The calories used during digestion when the body is adapting to extreme weather
    Explanation
    Thermogenesis refers to the process in which the body produces heat energy. This occurs when the body is adapting to extreme weather conditions, such as cold temperatures. During digestion, the body uses calories to break down food, and this process also generates heat energy. Therefore, the correct answer is "The calories used during digestion when the body is adapting to extreme weather."

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    ATP  is ?

    • Amount of calories used in metabolism

    • Amount of energy intake compared to amount expended

    • Non exercise actions

    • Amount of energy used

    Correct Answer
    A. Amount of energy intake compared to amount expended
    Explanation
    ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule that serves as the primary energy source for cellular processes. It is responsible for storing and releasing energy within cells. The correct answer, "Amount of energy intake compared to amount expended," accurately describes ATP as it represents the balance between the energy taken in through food and the energy expended by the body. This balance is crucial for maintaining proper energy levels and overall metabolic function.

  • 12. 

    The minum requirement of fat for men is 3-7%

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the recommended minimum requirement of body fat for men is generally considered to be between 3-7%. This range is considered healthy and essential for normal bodily functions. Having too little body fat can lead to various health issues, while having too much can increase the risk of obesity-related conditions. Therefore, maintaining a body fat percentage within this range is important for men's overall health and well-being.

    What is the recommended fat intake for men?

    • 20-35%

    • 10-12%

    • 6-12%

    • 12-20%

    Correct Answer
    A. 12-20%
    Explanation
    The recommended fat intake for men is 12-20%. This range is based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which suggest that 20-35% of daily caloric intake should come from fats. However, men may require a slightly lower range due to their typically higher caloric needs. Consuming an appropriate amount of healthy fats is important for overall health and can help support various bodily functions, such as hormone production and nutrient absorption.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    What is the normal BMI

    • 18-24.5

    • 40 or less

    • 30-39

    Correct Answer
    A. 25-29
    Explanation
    The normal BMI range is typically considered to be between 18 and 24.9. However, the given options do not include this range. The closest option is 25-29, which falls under the overweight category. While this range is not considered normal, it is still within a relatively healthy range and may not necessarily indicate a significant health risk.
