    Good quiz, retrospectively I probably should have let other people get them all right as I really should know the answers. If you want I have a few possible questions that might be able to go in your next one :)

    hehe, well, I'm glad that you didn't cheat, but what did you get wrong? I didn't see any wrong. You talking about number 6? body fat % is correct. Spritie had said w2h ratio because she was worried about cost, and she mentioned that, so I gave her the chance to change it and she did.

    This was tough! Good one, Banks!

    1) Which organ typically burns the most energy per day in an average adult?
    c. Brain

    2) Which exercise type is characterized by working past the threshold for sustainable oxygen consumption?
    b. Aerobic exercise

    3) Doing core exercises (abdominal exercises) is vital for reducing belly fat.
    b. False

    4) What is the name for the metabolic state in the body characterized by a calorie deficit and an increase in the burning of lean tissue mass?
    b. Homeostasis

    5) This Micronutrient is responsible for muscle contraction, nerve transmission and bone formation. It is also used when PH levels become overly acidic.
    c. Potassium

    6) The best single measurement to use when calculating whether someone is at a healthy weight for their age, sex, and height is?
    b. Body Fat Percent

    7) To avoid an exercise related plateau, you should change your exercise times every:
    c. 10 to 12 weeks

    8) A ketogenic diet is a diet where:
    b. The percentage of macronutrients from fats and proteins is raised and carbohydrates are lowered significantly.

    5-8) Place the letter of the definition that corresponds to the correct hormone.
    9) Insulin B
    10) Testosterone D
    11) Cortisol C
    12) Growth Hormone (GH) A

    a) This hormone is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. During sleep it stimulates amino acid uptake and protein synthesis in muscle cells.
    b) This hormone is secreted by the pancreas in response to high levels of blood glucose. It promotes glucose uptake in cells and decreases catabolism.
    c) This hormone is produced in the Kidney in response to stress. It preserves blood glucose and stimulates protein and fat breakdown.
    d) This hormone is primarily responsible for building lean tissue in the body and is produced in the testes and also in the adrenal glands of both men and women.
