.80-.85
- B.
.78-.80
- C.
.70-.75
- D.
.60-.70
Correct Answer
B. .78-.80Explanation
The average rest RER value for adults is estimated to be between .78 and .80. This means that, on average, adults have a resting respiratory exchange ratio (RER) within this range. The RER is a measure of the ratio between carbon dioxide production and oxygen consumption during rest, and it provides information about the fuel source being utilized by the body. This range suggests that adults predominantly rely on carbohydrates as their fuel source during rest.Rate this question:
