Answer 1

Out of the following given choices;

A)     increase; increase B) decrease; increase C) increase; decrease D) decrease; decrease

The answer is A. Increased hunger causes an increased appetite that is due to increased episodes of hypoglycemia (low blood sugars). This is due to an increase in metabolic rate that  breaks up glucose for energy at very high rates.

Answer 2

Answer:

Increase: increase

Explanation:

The basal metabolic rate is the measure of the rate of how the body undergoes metabolic processes.

An increase in hunger has a direct relationship with basal metabolic rate.

Hunger will make Jana eat well, when this happens her basal metabolic rate also increases through processes such as digestion etc.
