Introduction
This is a specific substance found in food that performs one or more physiological or biochemical functions in the body.
Nutrient
This position requires a minimum of a masters degree and a 1,000 to 1,200 hour internship.
Registered Dietitian
These are the regulatory nutrients.
Vitamins, minerals, and water
The sum total of all physical and chemical changes that take place within the body.
Metabolism
What is the largest organ in the human body?
Skin
This is planned, structured, and repetitive physical activity
Exercise
Research that presents observational data to help identify important relationships.
Epidemiological research
__________ are the fat soluble vitamins.
__________ are the water soluble vitamins.
Fat soluble: A, D, E, and K
Water soluble: B complex and C
The amount of energy required to sustain life. Measured at rest.
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
What is the study of plants called?
Botany
This is the physical activity recommendations for general, healthy adults.
150 – 300 min of moderate PA or 75 – 150 min per week of PA. Muscular fitness 2 days a week.
This is the type of research that uses different independent and dependent variables establishes a cause and effect.
Experimental research (RCT)
A range of intakes for a particular energy source that is associated with reduced risk of chronic disease while providing adequate intakes of essential nutrients.
Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR)
Location of the ATP-PCr system.
Cytoplasm

206
These are the six essential nutrients. List which ones are macronutrients and which ones are micronutrients.
Macronutrients (carbs, protein, fats)
Micronutrients (Vitamins, minerals)
Water
This is what the PICO framework stands for.
P: Population
I: Intervention
C: Comparator
O: Outcome
These are the essential components of fats. (hint: there is three).
Cholesterol
Phospholipids
Fatty Acids
Where ADP accepts an electron to become ATP in the electron transport chain.
ATP Synthase
Which metal is liquid at room temperature?
Mercury
These are the three main functions of nutrients.
Promote growth and development, provide energy, regulate metabolism
This is the highest level of evidenced based nutrition.
Systemic reviews & meta-analyses
An athlete needs to consume 3,000 kcals. They want to consume 45% of kcal from carbohydrate, 20% of kcal from fat, and 35% of kcal from protein. This is the amount of grams needed for each macronutrient.
Carbohydrate: 338g
Fat: 117g
Protein: 263g
This is the speed of action, amount of ATP replenished, and duration of action for all three major energy systems.
Creatine phosphate: Very fast, Very small, Very short
Anaerobic glycolysis: Fast, Small, Short
Oxidative phosphorylation: Very slow, Large, Very long
What is the main gas in Earth's atmosphere?
Nitrogen
