Question

A word used to describe the series of events that occur when your cells release the energy from chemical bonds in food molecules is called?
A.excercise
B.burning fat
C.burning cells
D.burning calories
E.none of the above

Answer 1

Offhand I would say that you have described metabolism, which is not given as a choice. However, I think that it might be equivalent to D. burning calories. It's definitely not excercise (a physical activity, not a biological process) or burning cells (not the name of a biological process), but it could possibly be burning fat, except that I think that's too specific.

Answer 2

the answer to the question is 'none of the above'
the right answer would be "metabolism" if it were listed - it's a much more complex process than "burning calories" but is usually used in the same way.
But - since this is specific - then the right answer would be e.

Answer 3

b. fat cells hold energy which is released as it is broken down

a is a much larger process, c is true (fat cells) but is too general, d is implying that you can burn something that is just a measurement (you expend energy measured in calories, but you can't burn them)

Answer 4

e. none of the above

Answer 5

cellular respiration?
