BIOD 121 PORTAGE LEARNING ACTUAL EXAM 2024 QUESTIONS AND ACCURATE ANSWER| A+ GRADE Energy balance -------- Correct Answer -------- is defined as a state when one's energy intake is equivalent to the amount of energy expended. In other words, the number of calories ingested from food and beverages must be equal to the number of calories burned through basic body functions plus exercise. Thus, in order to prevent weight gain and maintain an appropriate weight, we must understand the concept of energy balance. Positive energy balance -------- Correct Answer -------- occurs if more calories (energy) are consumed than expended. There are certain periods when we need to consume more calories than we expend. Examples would include periods of growth, such as pregnancy or periods of childhood and adolescence when growth spurts occur. Over time, however, the excess consumption will lead to weight gain. In fact, by consuming an extra 500 calories a day over what is expended, you could gain one pound in a week. Generally speaking, one pound of fat is equal to 3500 kcal.
