The resting metabolic rate (RMR) is a. A good measure of overall fitness b. Number of heart beats per minute having been at rest
for at least one hour c. One’s weight divided by the square of his or her height d. Number of calories one needs to maintain the body in a resting state during a 24-hour period e. Number of breaths one takes per minute having been at rest for at least one hour
d. Number of calories one needs to maintain the body in a resting state during a 24-hour period
Explanation:
Resting metabolic rate refers to the amount of energy needed by the body to maintain the vital processes for the duration of 24 hours that occur even if the person is resting. Some of these processes are digestion of food, respiration, urine formation, etc. Resting metabolic rate depends on the physiological conditions of the individuals.
For example, exercises help build the mass and strength of the muscles and increase the resting metabolic rate so that a person can eat more of the food without gaining weight. A person with a slower resting metabolic rate gains weight if not doing any physical activities.
We are left with four haploid cells; each one genetically different from each other and the parent cell. 8. Describe the three ways meiosis produces genetic variability. We have seen that meiosis creates variation three ways: crossing over, mutations caused during crossing over, and independent assortment.
