Question 7 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the difference between basal metabolic rate (BMR) and resting metabolic rate (RMR)?

  1. BMR is the amount of energy the body needs to function at rest, while RMR is the amount of energy the body needs to function during light activity.
  2. BMR is the amount of energy the body needs to function during light activity, while RMR is the amount of energy the body needs to function at rest.
  3. BMR is the amount of energy the body needs to function during moderate activity, while RMR is the amount of energy the body needs to function during light activity.
  4. BMR is the amount of energy the body needs to function during heavy activity, while RMR is the amount of energy the body needs to function during moderate activity.
Question 8 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What are the factors that affect BMR?

  1. Age, gender, muscle mass, and activity level.
  2. Age, gender, body fat percentage, and activity level.
  3. Age, gender, height, and weight.
  4. Age, gender, weight, and muscle mass.
Question 9 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What are the factors that affect RMR?

  1. Age, gender, muscle mass, and activity level.
  2. Age, gender, body fat percentage, and activity level.
  3. Age, gender, height, and weight.
  4. Age, gender, weight, and muscle mass.
Question 10 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the relationship between metabolism and energy balance?

  1. Metabolism is the process by which the body converts food into energy, while energy balance is the relationship between the amount of energy the body takes in and the amount of energy the body expends.
  2. Metabolism is the process by which the body expends energy, while energy balance is the relationship between the amount of energy the body takes in and the amount of energy the body stores.
  3. Metabolism is the process by which the body stores energy, while energy balance is the relationship between the amount of energy the body takes in and the amount of energy the body expends.
  4. Metabolism is the process by which the body takes in energy, while energy balance is the relationship between the amount of energy the body expends and the amount of energy the body stores.
Question 11 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is a positive energy balance?

  1. When the body takes in more energy than it expends.
  2. When the body expends more energy than it takes in.
  3. When the body takes in and expends the same amount of energy.
  4. When the body stores more energy than it expends.
Question 12 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is a negative energy balance?

  1. When the body takes in more energy than it expends.
  2. When the body expends more energy than it takes in.
  3. When the body takes in and expends the same amount of energy.
  4. When the body stores more energy than it expends.
Question 13 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What are the consequences of a positive energy balance?

  1. Weight gain, increased risk of obesity, and chronic diseases.
  2. Weight loss, decreased risk of obesity, and chronic diseases.
