ATP production from Fatty Acids - correct answer ✔✔Beta Oxidation
- fatty acid→ 2 acetyl-CoA (Citric Acid Cycle), Co2 electrons and ATP also produced
- High energy electrons to passed to electron transport chain
- Glycerol generated from beta oxidation- could be used to produce glycerol through
gluconeogenesis
energy balance - correct answer ✔✔energy consumed equals energy expenditure, measured in
kilocalories
kilocalories - correct answer ✔✔units of heat, a measure of amount of energy that is supplied
or expended by the body

possible causes of obesity and overweight - correct answer ✔✔Americans are Eating More
,-More access to inexpensive snacks and fast foods that stimulate appetite, especially due to
social changes.
-Increase in portion sizes.
Americans are Exercising Less
-Modern transportation
-Increased sedentary lifestyle, especially with increased screen time
Portion sizes and weight status outcomes - correct answer ✔✔Increased fast food consumption
is associated with higher body weight and obesity risk
-The more food that is placed in front of individuals is associated with greater consumption
hunger - correct answer ✔✔Desire to consume food that is triggered by internal physiological
signals
-Hormone regulated
appetite - correct answer ✔✔a desire, rather than a need, to eat
Cues
-Sight or smell of food
-Presence of a tasty or inexpensive food
factors that may contribute to limited physical activity participation - correct answer ✔✔-
occupations
-modes of -transportation
-device for household chores
-busy schedules
-screen time
,health consequences of having excess body fat - correct answer ✔✔Psychiatric and psychosocial
problems
Respiratory Problems
Fatty Liver
Gallbladder Disease and Gallstones
Gynecological Problems
Cardiovascular Diseases
Gastroesophageal Reflux
Increased Risk for Cancer
Excess body fat and disease risk : Cardiovascular disease - correct answer ✔✔Increases:
-The amount of work completed by the heart
-Risk of developing high blood pressure
-Triglycerides and LDL cholesterol
Excess body fat and disease risk: Diabetes - correct answer ✔✔Excess weight causes increased
production of insulin for maintaining blood glucose
-Insulin resistances increases Type 2 diabetes risk
-Further increases risk for heart disease and stroke
Excess Body Fat and Disease Risk: Gallbladder Disease - correct answer ✔✔Gallstones:
Cholesterol clusters
that accumulate in the bile duct of the gallbladder
-Symptoms: Pain, cramping, and possible inflammation
Bile duct blockage: --Impaired lipid absorption in the small intestine
-Possible removal of the gallbladder
, Excess Body Fat and Disease Risk: Sleep Apnea - correct answer ✔✔Brief interruptions of
breathing during sleep.
Fatigue/tiredness in the morning
Fatty tissue in the pharynx and the neck compress the airway and block airflow
Associated with high blood pressure, heart attacks, and type 2 diabetes
Excess Body Fat and Disease Risk: Cancer - correct answer ✔✔Excess body weight and fat are
associated with cancer risk:
-Obese individuals have higher quantities of insulin and insulin-like growth factor, which may
promote tumor growth.
-Breast cancer (postmenopausal)
-Colon
-Pancreas
-Esophagus
-Gallbladder
Excess Body Fat and Disease Risk: Joint Disorders: Osteoarthritis - correct answer ✔✔The
cartilage cushioning of the joints wears down and becomes rough and thin in appearance
Continuous breakdown of the cartilage causes the bones on the joints to rub against each other,
resulting in a reduction of movement and increased pain
Weight loss can help reduce the pressure and strain on the joints, and delay the wear and tear
of the cartilage
Excess Body Fat and Disease Risk: Joint Disorders: Gout - correct answer ✔✔Increased presence
of uric acid
-Develops into solid stones and crystals deposited in the joints
-Symptoms: Pain
