Study Guide CH 8 & 9

The document provides a study guide for chapters 8 and 9 on topics related to energy metabolism, weight regulation, and obesity. It defines key terms like hunger, leptin, satiation, basal metabolic rate, and lists the main components of energy expenditure. It also identifies factors that influence basal metabolic rate, types of obesity, and health risks associated with excess visceral fat. Causes and treatments of obesity are discussed through definitions of terms like lipoprotein lipase, ketosis, and BMI classifications.

constant or stable level. - Leptin

Satiation determines how much food is _______. - Consumed During One Meal

For healthy adults, the components of energy metabolism, listed from highest to lowest proportion, are:
- ~Basal Metabolism

~Physical Activity

~Thermic Effect Of Food

In general, why does a tall person have a higher basal metabolic rate than a shorter person of the same
weight: - Taller people have more skin surface area & lose heat more rapidly than a shorter person.

Which diet promotes the greatest loss of body heat: - High Protein & Low Fat

The hormone that is released when the stomach is distended that conveys the feeling of satiety to the
brain is known as: - Cholecystokinin

Weight loss during a low-carbohydrate diet is primarily due to what: - Water Loss

Which brain region regulates long-term food intake & energy expenditure: - Hypothalamus

A higher incidence of heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, & diabetes is associated with: - Visceral
Fat

When a diet is very low in kcalories & carbohydrates for a long period of time, what is most likely to
develop: - Ketosis

Indirect calorimetry measures _____ & ______ to estimate energy expenditure: - Oxygen Consumes *
Carbon Dioxide Expired

Which of these is the rationale for the fat cell theory of obesity: - Fat cell number increases most readily
in late childhood & early puberty.

Which of the following enzymes is known to promote fat storage in adipocytes: - Lipoprotein Lipase

Hyperplastic Obesity is related to which of the following changes: - An increase in the number of fat
cells.

The major function of lipoprotein lipase is to: - Remove triglycerides from blood for storage.

Jill weights 150 lbs, but according to her BMI, she should weight 110 lbs. Jill is classified as: - Obese

The type of fat that is stored in the abdominal region is called: - Visceral Fat

About 50 to 70% of your daily energy needs are determined by: - Your basal metabolic rate "BMR"

The factor that most affects your BMR is: - How much lean body mass you have.

Which of these can lower one's basal metabolic rate "BMR": - Starvation

Which hormone is produced in fat tissue that helps regulate body fat by signaling the reduction of food
intake in the brain: - Leptin
