In: Anatomy and Physiology
1. (Triglyceridase/Lipoprotein lipase/Lipoprotein hydrase/Pyruvate) is an enzyme that removed excess triglycerides from the bloodstream and put them into fat storage. This enzyme is found to have a higher rate of activity in obese individuals.
2. When more calories are taken in than expended energy balance is said to be (consistent/positive/negative/reversed)
3. Adipose tissue is made up of both fat and the (myofibrils/osteocytes/adipocytes/neurons) that store the fat.
4. The enzyme responsible for pulling circulating, excess triglycerides out of the bloodstream and placing them into fat storage is called (triglycerades/Lipoprotein lipase/protease/hydrolase)
5. While genetics have been found to play a role in a person’s susceptibility to develop obesity, lifestyle factors such as diet, stress management, and physical activity have been shown to play a role in the development of obesity. These factors are known as (epigenetic/ susceptibility/ genetic/ intrinsic) factors
6.When body fat increases, the hormone (cortisol/leptin/testosterone/ ghrelin) increases suppresses appetite.
7. (Gherlin/ Estrogen/ Norleptin/ Norepinephrine) is produced in the stomach and promotes appetite and weight gain. Levels generally increase before a meal and decrease after a meal.
Bolded part are the options to choose from for each question.
Answer 1: LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE
Explanation: Lipoprotein lipase hydrolyses triglycerides present in chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins into fatty acids and glycerol which are used for generation of energy or they are stored in body cells for future use.
Answer 2: POSITIVE ENERGY
Explanation: When the calories taken exceeds then calories used then body gains weight because of storage of excess calories and this is called as positive energy.
Answer 3: ADIPOCYTES
Explanation: Adipose tissue is made up of both fats and adipocytes. They store fat, insulates the body and also acts as cushion for the body organs.
Answer 4: LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE
Explanation: Lipoprotein lipase digests Triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol which are then stored in cells.
Answer 5: EPIGENETIC FACTORS
Explanation: Epigenetic factors does not changes the DNA sequence but it changes how the cells read the genes.
Answer 6: LEPTIN
Explanation: When body fat Increases then Leptin hormone secretion increases to suppress the appetite and gives the feeling of fullness. Leptin is called as satiety hormone.
Answer 7: GHRELIN
Explanation: GHRELIN is called as hunger hormone. It increases appetite and causes increase in intake of food. This hormone leads to obesity.
