When examining the types of energy expenditure, which of the following statements is accurate?
A)
People who are more active and who fidget may have less fat gain than those with decreased nonexercise activity thermogenesis.
B)
Parasympathetic stimulation will cause brown fat to generate more heat than other stimulations.
C)
Recent research indicates that obese patients with persistent excess caloric intake have decreased sympathetic activity.
D)
Carbohydrate intake increases the normal metabolic rate more significantly than other nutrients.
Ans:
A
Feedback:
Nonexercise activity thermogenesis includes the energy expended in maintaining posture and in activities such as fidgeting. People with increased NEAT may have less fat gain than those with decreased NEAT. Sympathetic stimulation causes brown fat to generate more heat. Research shows that obese patients with excess caloric intake have increased sympathetic activity. Proteins, not carbohydrates, increase metabolic rate more significantly.
