In direct calorimetry, a person is placed in a large, water-insulated chamber. The chamber is kept at a constant temperature. Wh

ile in the chamber, the subject is asked to perform a number of normal activities, such as eating, sleeping, and exercising.

Answer:

Although direct calorimetry is considered to be the most precise technique for the measurement of metabolic rate, construction of such a chamber that is large enough for doing exercise physiology research (or any research for that matter) is extremely expensive and not at all mobile.

Explanation:

Direct calorimetry measures the heat production of an individual, in calories, when placed in an insulated chamber where the heat is transferred to surrounding water. This is a very accurate method of measuring energy expenditure.

Two factors which cause global climate change are listed below.
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

c. Factors 1 and 2 may be influenced by both nature and human factors

Explanation:

The sea level rising and the change in the atmospheric gases are both processes that are influenced by the nature, as well as by the human activities. Naturally, the earth has its own cycles, known as Milankovich cycles, through which the Earth warms up, or cools down, resulting in change of the atmospheric gases, and in accordance to that, change in the sea levels depending on the global climate. The humans to have become a big factor in the past few hundred years. The reason for that is that the humans with their activity started to release lot of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, especially CO2 and methane. That has been changing the composition of the atmosphere, and the temperatures have been rising. The higher the temperatures, the more ice is melting around the poles and on the high mountains, resulting in an increase in the sea levels.
