D440 CHAPTER 6: ENERGY BALANCE




Terms in this set (63)


What is the correct The energy required to raise the temperature by 1 kg of water 1
description of a kilocalorie degree celcius
(kcal)?


The energy needed to
metabolize 1 kg of glucose
The energy required to raise
the temperature by 1 kg of
water 1 degree celsius
The energy required to move
1 kg substance 1 meter by 1
Newton of force The energy
needed to transport water
against the concentration
gradient
Which fuel source is the Fats
highest energy- yielding
nutrient? Fats have the highest caloric density of macronutrients, containing
9kcal/gram

To determine total kcal, multiply the amount of each
A food that contains 19 macronutrient by its relative energy density, then sum the
grams of carbohydrates, 25 totals. Carbohydrates and proteins each have 4
grams of protein, and 4 kcal/gram, and fats have 9 kcal/gram.
grams of fat has kilocalories 19 grams of carbohydrates × 4
(kcal). kcal/gram = 76 kcal 25 grams of
protein × 4 kcal/gram = 100 kcal
4 grams of fat × 9 kcal/gram = 36 kcal
76 kcal + 100 kcal + 36 kcal = 212 total kcal in the food

, 113


To determine total kcal, multiply the amount of each
A food that contains 12 macronutrient by its relative energy density, then sum the
grams of carbohydrates, 5 totals. Carbohydrates and proteins each have 4
grams of protein, and 5 kcal/gram, and fats have 9 kcal/gram.
grams of fat is equal to 12 grams carbohydrates × 4 kcal/gram = 48 kcal
kilocalories (kcal). 5 grams protein × 4 kcal/gram = 20 kcal
5 grams fat × 9 kcal/gram = 45 kcal
48 kcal + 20 kcal + 45 kcal = 113 total kcal in the food

Which age group has the Birth to 5 years
highest energy expenditure
requiring the highest caloric Energy needs are highest during times of rapid growth,
allowance (kcal/lb)? which occur throughout childhood. For both sexes, the
time between 1 and 2 years is characterized by the
10-15 years highest energy expenditure, with a decrease as the child
ages. Therefore, the children in their first years of life
15-20 years have the highest energy expenditure compared to older
children and adults.

Which substances are Carbon dioxide and oxygen

energy expenditure of a

, person using calorimetry?
The respiratory gases are measured to determine the

Glucose and respiratory quotient. Oxygen consumption is an excellent
indicator of metabolism because over 95% of metabolic

iodine Water reactions are aerobic.
