Across
  1. 1. The amount of energy (or calories) that a person uses in a day.
  2. 5. The degree of heat maintained by the body, which is influenced by metabolic processes and energy expenditure.
  3. 6. The overall physical dimensions of a person's body, which can affect resting metabolic rate (RMR) and daily energy expenditure.
  4. 7. The sum of all chemical processes that occur in living organisms, enabling them to grow, reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments.
  5. 9. A component of fat that the body breaks down and oxidizes for energy.
  6. 11. The simple sugar—a monosaccharide—that the cells rely on every minute of every day to produce ATP.
  7. 13. The act of using energy, especially during physical activity or metabolic processes.
  8. 16. The role of genes in predisposing some people to obesity, with physical activity and diet being the predominant factors in determining the rate and extent of weight gain.
  9. 17. A type of macronutrient that the body uses as a source of energy.
  10. 19. The accumulation of fat in the abdominal region, leading to an apple-shaped body. This is more common in men.
  11. 21. An increased rate of burning or oxidizing fat to produce energy (ATP).
  12. 23. The total mass of a person's body, which is affected by energy balance (energy intake vs. energy output).
  13. 24. The amount of energy available to meet the body’s needs after accounting for energy input and physical activity energy expenditure.
  14. 25. Synthetic stimulants that are found in weight-loss supplements and may pose health risks.
Down
  1. 2. The concept that the ATP-producing processes in cells are not 100% efficient, resulting in energy lost as heat.
  2. 3. A type of macronutrient that the body uses as a source of energy.
  3. 4. The desire to eat food, influenced by various factors including hunger, satiety, and emotional connections with eating.
  4. 5. A type of fat cell with more mitochondria and capillaries than white fat cells; it's inefficient in ATP production, breaking down fatty acids to produce heat.
  5. 8. The proportion of fat, muscle, bone, and other tissues that make up a person's body weight.
  6. 10. Related to the types of food and drink a person consumes.
  7. 12. The number of calories you expend in a day.
  8. 14. The process of burning or oxidizing fat to produce ATP (energy).
  9. 15. A range of exercise intensity (often linked to exercise heart rate) that maximizes the amount of fat being burned during exercise.
  10. 18. Units of energy; in the context of diet and weight loss, it refers to the amount of energy you ingest as food and beverages. It is measured in Calories (kilocalories [kcal], which equals 1,000 calories).
  11. 20. The relationship between energy intake and energy output. Weight loss occurs when energy expenditure exceeds energy intake.
  12. 22. Fat that is stored in the abdominal region of the body. Men typically deposit fat in the abdominal region, leading to apple-shaped android obesity.
