What relationship exists between body mass and metabolic rate ?

Biology
1 answer:
Alja [10]4 years ago
4 0

<u>Answer:</u>

  • The body mass index is inversely proportional to the basal metabolic rate.
  • Studies in adult male prove that people with low BMI have high BMR and vice versa.

<u> Explanation:</u>

  • Body Mass Index – is the weight of the person (kg) divided by his/her height \left(\mathrm{m}^{2}\right)
  • Basal Metabolic Rate – is the amount of calories a body needs to fulfill its daily activities.
  • BMR is usually higher in males than in females. It also reduces with increase in age of a person irrespective of gender.

What is the organ that serves as the starting point of the respiratory system?
alexdok [17]
The organ that serves as the starting point of the respiratory system would be the nose.  It is where respiration starts by taking in the air from the atmosphere and it also ends here by breathing out carbon dioxide a waste gas produced from the processes in the body which is not utilized by our body.

Starting with 5 molecules of glucose, how many molecules of co2 are generated from glycolysis, the breakdown of pyruvate, and th
Firdavs [7]

20 CO₂ are generated during the full oxidation of one glucose molecule.

A cytoplasmic mechanism called glycolysis converts glucose into two molecules with three carbons each and releases energy. Hexokinase, a phosphorylating enzyme, assists in the phosphorylation process that traps glucose.

The second stage of cellular respiration, a three-step process by which living cells break down organic fuel molecules in the presence of oxygen to obtain the energy they require to grow and divide, is known as the tricarboxylic acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle and the citric acid cycle.

1 glucose molecule is responsible for the release of 4 CO2 molecules during Krebs cycle.

Thus, 5 molecules of glucose will release 5× 4 = 20 molecules of CO₂.

How has waste leaving a cell affected its surface area to volume ratio?
lapo4ka [179]

The important point is that the surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger and as volume increases, surface area to volume ratio decreases. The larger a cell, the less easily it can get rid of waste and it also has more trouble getting water, nutrients and gases in. That is why we do not see giant cells. Instead we see multiple cells in larger organisms.  

One way to increase surface area is to flatten the cell. That is why red blood cells are flat discs, instead of spheres. Another way is elongation. That is why many bacteria are rod shaped, and why neurons are elongated. In fact, the human body relies on the same principle to adapt to climate. Long tall and lean folks with long arms and legs live in East Africa, because such shapes increase surface area to get rid of excess body heat to avoid heat strokes. Europeans and Asians adapted to cold climates, in contrast, have shorter arms and legs and rounder torsos to minimize surface area. to conserve body heat.

5)What are 2 disadvantages of non-renewable resources?
frutty [35]
5. The answer is D. Non-renewable resources lay be cheap, but they release harmful carbon dioxide, which pollutes the environment. And eventually, they will run out. They are, as the name suggests, non-renewable.

6. The answer is A. Renewable resources are harder and more expensive to harvest, but they are unlimited and cause little to no harm to the environment, depending what resource you are using.

7. The answer is A. Particular renewable resources ( i.e sunlight or geothermal energy) are unreliable and can only be found in the right places under the right conditions (i.e on a sunny day or a geyser). They're also more expensive since they're harder to access/convert into electricity.

8. The correct answers are D and E.
Technology helps us predict future problems and solve them before they even happen, and things like solar panels and dams help us use alternative energy, which is much better for the environment than things like coal or oil.

9. The correct answers are A and D. Biodiesel is made from various oils and animal fats (unwanted waste), and it is renewable.

10. The correct answer is A. Biodiesel is more expensive to make than regular diesel, and more facilities would have to be built.

Good luck on your assignment!
