Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 400,000 deaths per year in the United States.
TRUE
Creatine kinase transfers the high-energy phosphate from phosphocreatine to ADP making ATP
TRUE
Diabetic ketoacidos is a serious medical emergency that results when free fatty acids become the dominant energy source due to low levels of insulin and sources of glucose
TRUE
During recovery after a bout of exercise, muscle continues uptake of lipoproteins from the blood for several hours, depending on the intensity and energy expenditure that occurred during exercise
TRUE
Erythropoietin increases the survival rate of reticulocytes, allowing the number of mature erythrocytes to increase
TRUE
Humans can produce sufficient vitamins D if they get adequate sunshine

Muscle pain has been noted with use of statins independently of intense exercise
TRUE
Nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke at home or work have increased risk of disease, including cancer and heart disease.

Pilots, after having a blood alcohol level of 0.1%, showed significantly poorer performance on flight simulators many hours later.
TRUE
Regular consumers of caffeine can experience a withdrawal syndrome if they stop taking caffeine abruptly
TRUE
Research on the ergogenic properties of anabolic steroids is constrained because the large does taken by athletes and bodybuilders cannot be reproduced in the lab due to ethical considerations.
TRUE
Smoking is the cause of one in five deaths in the United States.
TRUE
