Nutrition One Exam 3 Armada ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Acetyl - Correct answers✔✔Functional group with the formula CH₃CO−. Consists of a methyl
group (CH₃) single-bonded to a carbonyl group (CO). Acetyl groups are commonly found in
biological molecules, where they play a role in biochemical reactions such as acetylation. It is
key in the formation of acetyl-CoA, an essential molecule in metabolism.
Acetyl-CoA - Correct answers✔✔Central molecule in metabolism that carries acetyl groups to
the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) to produce energy. It is formed from the breakdown of
carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Link between glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
Adipose Tissue - Correct answers✔✔Body fat. A connective tissue that stores energy in the form
of fat. It also serves as insulation and cushioning for the body.
Aerobic Cellular Respiration of Glucose - Correct answers✔✔Process when cells convert
glucose into energy (ATP) in the presence of oxygen. Involves glycolysis, the citric acid cycle,
and the electron transport chain. Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor, enabling the
production of large amounts of ATP. Carbon dioxide and water are byproducts.
Age and Max Heart Rate - Correct answers✔✔Highest number of beats per minute (bpm) your
heart can reach during maximum exertion. Decreases with age. Calculate 220 minus your age.
Monitoring is useful for determining safe exercise intensity.
Alcohol - Correct answers✔✔Acts as a central nervous system depressant and affects the brain,
leading to intoxication. Regular consumption can have adverse effects on health, including liver
disease and addiction. Metabolized primarily by the liver.
,Amino Acids - Correct answers✔✔Organic compounds that combine to form proteins. There are
20, nine of which are essential and must be obtained from the diet. Roles in processes like tissue
repair, enzyme production, and immune function. They can also be used as energy sources.
Anaerobic Metabolism - Correct answers✔✔Production of energy without oxygen. Occurring
during short bursts of high-intensity exercise. It involves glycolysis, which breaks down glucose
to produce ATP quickly. Produces lactic acid as a byproduct, which leads to muscle fatigue.
Generates less ATP compared to aerobic metabolism.
Anorexia - Correct answers✔✔An eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of gaining
weight and a distorted body image. Severe restriction of food intake, leading to malnutrition and
dangerous weight loss.
Anthropometric Measures - Correct answers✔✔Methods used to assess the size, shape, and
composition of the human body. Body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, and skinfold
thickness. Used in health assessments to evaluate nutritional status and potential health risks.
Appetite - Correct answers✔✔Psychological desire to eat food. Triggered by external cues such
as sight or smell of food. Regulated by hormones, emotions, and environmental conditions. Can
be influenced by both physical and mental states.
Athletes Daily Protein - Correct answers✔✔Recommended protein intake for athletes ranges
from 1.2 to 2.0 grams per kilogram of body weight, depending on the type and intensity of
activity. Protein should be consumed throughout the day to optimize recovery. Sources of protein
include lean meats, dairy, eggs, and plant-based proteins.
ATP - Correct answers✔✔Primary energy currency of the cell. It stores and supplies energy for
biological processes like muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, and chemical synthesis.
Generated through processes like cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
, Atrophy - Correct answers✔✔Wasting away or reducing the size of a body part. Typically
muscle or tissue, due to a lack of use, disease, or malnutrition. It can result from prolonged
inactivity, such as bed rest or immobilization.
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) - Correct answers✔✔Number of calories your body needs to
maintain basic functions at rest. Breathing, circulation, and cell production. Accounts for the
majority of a person's daily energy expenditure. Helps in determining overall energy needs.
Behavioral Strategies - Correct answers✔✔Actions or techniques used to modify behavior. Goal-
setting, self-monitoring, and reinforcement to encourage positive behaviors such as regular
exercise or healthy eating.
Binge Eating - Correct answers✔✔An eating disorder characterized by consuming large amounts
of food in a short period of time.
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) - Correct answers✔✔Method for estimating body
composition. Usually body fat and lean mass. Measures the resistance of body tissues to a small
electrical current. The more fat tissue present, the more resistance to the current, while lean
tissue, which contains water, conducts the current more easily.
Bipolar Disorder - Correct answers✔✔Mental health condition characterized by extreme mood
swings, ranging from manic highs to depressive lows. Manic episodes involve elevated energy,
impulsive behavior, and inflated self-esteem, while depressive episodes cause feelings of
sadness, hopelessness, and low energy.
BMI (Body Mass Index) - Correct answers✔✔Calculation that uses a person's weight and height
to estimate body fat and assess whether they are underweight, normal weight, overweight, or
obese. The formula is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (kg/m²). Between
18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy, while 30 or higher indicates obesity.
