What is energy metabolism?
- A.
Energy that is used during metabolic reactions weather it's anabolic or catabolic
- B.
Rate at which energy is derived from food
- C.
Calories used to maintain body composition
- D.
Rate at which calories are digested
Correct Answer
A. Energy that is used during metabolic reactions weather it's anabolic or catabolicExplanation
Energy metabolism refers to the process by which the body converts food into energy through metabolic reactions. These reactions can be either anabolic, involving the building up of molecules, or catabolic, involving the breaking down of molecules. Energy is utilized during these reactions to support various bodily functions and activities. This process is essential for maintaining the body's energy balance and ensuring that it has enough energy to carry out its daily tasks.Rate this question:

What is basal metabolisim?
- A.
Rate at which body uses energy
- B.
Rate at which energy is derived from body
- C.
Sum of all involuntary actions used to sustain life
Correct Answer
C. Sum of all involuntary actions used to sustain lifeExplanation
Basal metabolism refers to the sum of all involuntary actions that are necessary to sustain life. These actions include processes like breathing, circulation, and maintaining body temperature. Basal metabolism is responsible for the majority of energy expenditure in the body, even at rest. It represents the minimum amount of energy required to keep the body functioning properly.Rate this question:

Amount of calories used in metabolism
- B.
Amount of energy intake compared to amount expended
- C.
Non exercise actions
- D.
Amount of energy used
Correct Answer
B. Amount of energy intake compared to amount expendedExplanation
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule that serves as the primary energy source for cellular processes. It is responsible for storing and releasing energy within cells. The correct answer, "Amount of energy intake compared to amount expended," accurately describes ATP as it represents the balance between the energy taken in through food and the energy expended by the body. This balance is crucial for maintaining proper energy levels and overall metabolic function.Rate this question:

The factors that can influence BMI include fever, environment, gender, weight, height, growth, and body composition. Fever can temporarily increase BMI due to water retention and inflammation. Environment can affect BMI through access to healthy food options and opportunities for physical activity. Gender can influence BMI as men tend to have higher muscle mass and lower body fat percentage compared to women. Weight and height are directly related to BMI calculation. Growth during childhood and adolescence can impact BMI as well. Finally, body composition, which refers to the proportion of muscle, fat, and bone in the body, can affect BMI.Rate this question:

What is thermo genesis?
- A.
Beginning of heat energy
- B.
The calories used during digestion when the body is adapting to extreme weather
- C.
When sponge bob eats fish
- D.
When heat energy is used by the body in the cold
Correct Answer
B. The calories used during digestion when the body is adapting to extreme weatherExplanation
Thermogenesis refers to the process in which the body produces heat energy. This occurs when the body is adapting to extreme weather conditions, such as cold temperatures. During digestion, the body uses calories to break down food, and this process also generates heat energy. Therefore, the correct answer is "The calories used during digestion when the body is adapting to extreme weather."Rate this question:
