The most used instruments for the determination of free-living physical activity and energy expenditure are; whole-room indirect calorimeter, Accelerometers and pedometers and also the Doubly-Labeled Water. Indirect calorimetry measures gas exchange from which energy expenditure can be estimated, Double labeled water is the most relevant method for measuring free-living energy expenditure in animals and humans, it is based on exponential disappearance from the body of the stable isotopes (H and O) after a bolus dose of water. Accelerometers and pedometers provide an inexpensive overall measure of physical activity, however they are unable to asses the intensity, frequency and duration of activity or to estimate energy expenditure.

Si la pared celular en una célula vegetal proporciona rigidez. Crees que una célula animal podría desarrollar está característic
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

La pared de la célula vegetal, es un recurso evolutivo para adaptarse y sobrevivir al medio, la célula animal no requiere la presencia de pared por eso sus características son diferentes debido a sus necesidades, no creo que la desarrolle, puesto que tener pared no la va a hacer avanzar o evolucionar para perfeccionar la especie, actualmente la célula animal contiene una membrana que le permite realizar proceso con mayor facilidad, como la consecución de nutrientes, procesos de excreción, reproducción y movilidad, dentro de un organismo como el hombre sería inviable este mecanismo, sin embargo hay especies que se han adaptado y tienen paredes en su superficie como el caso de las algas y las bacterias, teniendo en cuenta estos seres como ejemplo se sabe que una de las ventajas de tener pared es la resistencia a lesiones como las provocadas por antibióticos, soportan fuerzas osmoticas e intervienen en el crecimiento, convirtiéndose en una armadura para el resto del organismo, de este modo sería como beneficiaría a la célula animal.
