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.

Which of the following is similar among all living organisms on Earth? social behavior, physical appearance, cellular function,
Mkey [24]
It is all of them. To be alive we all kind of have to have a face or body, we all need cells to help us with our day to day activities and we all need to communicate with other humans so that would be social behavior.

Why do cells divide instead of just grow larger
hjlf
There are two main reasons why cells divide rather than continuing to grow larger and larger. One of the main reason is that the larger cell become more demanding, therefore the large cell will increase load on the machinery of the cell such as DNA. The other reason is that if the cell grow too large it will be difficult for the cell to move for nutrients and discard the waste across the cell membrane. Also the surface area for each cell will also be reduced, which is required for active functionality of a cell.
