Answer options:

a.body weight relative to height; the amount of one’s abdominal fat

b.body weight relative to height; one’s height

c.abdominal fat relative to height; one’s age

d.abdominal fat relative to height; one’s hip measurement

Answer

a.

Explanation:

BMI takes into account your weight and your height. However, this can be a bit problematic because it doesn't take into account muscle mass. So someone who is, for example, short and muscular but with little to no body fat, could show an "obese" BMI, even though they are in great shape.

BSI aims to overcome this by also taking into account abdominal fat by measuring waist circumference. Body shape seems to be better at predicting how likely someone is to suffer weight-related illnesses, so BSI takes into account these factors for a more accurate measure.

Why do turtles breath out of their butts
luda_lava [24]

Answer: Limited room and no ribcage

Pls give me brainliest i had to research

Explanation: The possible answer to the question lies in the turtle's shell. The shell, which evolved from ribs and vertebrae that flattened out and fused together, does more than keep the turtle safe from bites. When a turtle hibernates, it buries itself in cold water for up to five months. To survive, it has to change a lot of things about the way its body works. Some processes, such as fat burning, go anaerobic - or without oxygen - in a hibernating turtle. Anaerobic processes result in the build up of lactic acid, and anyone who has seen Aliens knows that too much acid isn't good for a body. The turtle's shell can not only store some lactic acid, but release bicarbonates (baking soda to the acid's vinegar) into the turtle's body. It's not just armor plating, it's a chemistry set.

It is, however, a fairly restrictive chemistry set. Without ribs that expand and contract, the turtle has no use for the lung and muscle set-up that most mammals have. Instead it has muscles that pull the body outwards, towards the openings of the shell, to allow it to inhale, and more muscles to squish the turtle's guts against its lungs to make it exhale. The combination makes for a lot of work, which is especially costly if every time you use a muscle your body's acid levels go up and oxygen levels go down.

Compare this to the relatively cheap butt breathing. Sacs next to the cloaca, called bursa, easily expand. The walls of these sacs are lined with blood vessels. Oxygen diffuses through the blood vessels, and the sacs are squeezed out. The entire procedure uses little energy for a turtle that doesn't have a lot to spare. Dignity has to play second-fiddle to survival sometimes.
