ALA 1: Nutrition and Exercise Physiology Quiz

What is the end product that comes from converting energy stored as substrates to a form that our bodies use for energy?

• Kcals

• ATP

• Macronutrients

• Liver Glycogen

• Glucose

Muscle glycogen is primarily used for _____.

• Making ATP in the muscle cells

• Creating ATP from fat

• Creating ketones for the brain

• Managing blood glucose levels

• Fueling muscle contraction, ex. during exercise

Which of the following processes increase when under consuming food and/or when there is depletion in muscle and liver glycogen stores?

• Protein Synthesis

• Proteolysis

• Lipolysis

• Glycolysis

Which macronutrient do our bodies break down the fastest? Ex. During a maximal intensity 300 meter sprint (~ 30 seconds)

• Fats

• Proteins

• CHO

• All the above

During which of the following activities would the process of glycogenolysis for muscle glycogen be significantly increased?

• Sitting down in Mr. Patek's class

• Doing 15 Burpees every time Mr. Patek says 'ATP'

• While sleeping

• Breakdancing at the Marc

• Walking your dog at a casual pace (light intensity)

In the Ex Phys lab, Jules is running on the treadmill at a speed that is 80% of her HRmax. Ian is observing the test while sitting in a chair and is considered at rest. Who is using a higher percentage of CHO's than Fats as their primary energy source?

• Ian

• Jules

• Both are using the same amount of these substrates for energy

• Cannot determine based on information given

What tank is our largest tank that is virtually 'unlimited' in the amount of kcals that can accumulate?

• Blood glucose

• Liver glycogen

• Muscle glycogen

• Fats

• All tanks are unlimited in size

• Glycogenolysis

• Gluconeogenesis

• Lipogenesis

• Lipolysis

• Glycogenesis

What is the primary source of energy during a low-intensity workout?

• Fats

• Proteins

• CHO

• All the above
