    • Environmental factors (hot/cold and altitude)

    • Operational

    • Restricted

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Body size
    A. Physical Activity
    A. Environmental factors (hot/cold and altitude)
    Explanation
    The overall energy requirements can be influenced by several factors including body size, physical activity levels, and environmental factors such as temperature (hot/cold) and altitude. Body size plays a role as larger individuals generally require more energy to maintain their body functions. Physical activity levels determine the amount of energy needed for movement and exercise. Environmental factors like temperature and altitude can also affect energy requirements as the body may need to work harder to regulate body temperature or adjust to higher altitudes.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    No adjustments to energy requirements appears necessary for temps between what?

    • 68-86 degrees F

    • 60-80 degrees F

    • 65-85 degrees F

    • 70-90 degrees F

    Correct Answer
    A. 68-86 degrees F
    Explanation
    No adjustments to energy requirements appear necessary for temperatures between 68-86 degrees F. This means that the body's energy needs remain constant within this temperature range, indicating that the body does not need to expend additional energy to regulate its internal temperature.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Cold environments may increase energy requirements by what percent?

    • 5-10%

    • 10-15%

    • 15-20%

    • 20-25%

    Correct Answer
    A. 5-10%
    Explanation
    Cold environments can increase energy requirements by 5-10%. When exposed to cold temperatures, the body needs to work harder to maintain its core temperature. This increased effort leads to an increase in energy expenditure. The body burns more calories to generate heat and keep warm in colder environments. Therefore, individuals living or working in cold environments may require an additional 5-10% of energy to meet their increased metabolic demands.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    What's the ratio for protein?

    • .8-1.5 grams of protein per kg of body weight

    • 1-2 grams of protein per kg of body weight

    • 2-3 grams of protein per kg of body weight

    • 3-5 grams of protein per kg of body weight

    Correct Answer
    A. .8-1.5 grams of protein per kg of body weight
    Explanation
    The recommended ratio for protein intake is .8-1.5 grams of protein per kg of body weight. This means that for every kilogram of body weight, it is recommended to consume between .8 and 1.5 grams of protein. This ratio is commonly suggested for individuals who are looking to maintain or build muscle mass, support overall health, and meet their daily protein requirements.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Restricted rations are used as subsist for short period not greater than

    • 10 days

    • 21 days

    • 15 days

    • 7 days

    Correct Answer
    A. 10 days
    Explanation
    Restricted rations are typically used as a temporary food supply for a limited period of time. The purpose of such rations is to provide the necessary nutrients and sustenance during a period when regular food sources may be scarce or inaccessible. The correct answer, 10 days, suggests that restricted rations are intended to last for a relatively short duration, after which individuals would ideally have access to a more regular food supply. This time frame ensures that individuals have enough food to sustain themselves for a short period, while also allowing for the possibility of finding alternative food sources within a reasonable timeframe.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Total calories from fat should not exceed what percent?

    • 35%

    • 25%

    • 10%

    • 5%

    Correct Answer
    A. 35%
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 35% because it is important to limit the intake of calories from fat in order to maintain a healthy diet. Consuming too much fat can lead to weight gain and an increased risk of health problems such as heart disease and obesity. Therefore, it is recommended that the total calories from fat should not exceed 35% of the daily caloric intake.
