Explain the variation of the basal metabolic rate with; i) sex ii) age​

Biology
1 answer:
GREYUIT [131]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The basal metabolic rate decreases almost linearly with age. ... It is shown that the decrease in muscle mass relative to total body may be wholly responsible for the age-related decreases in basal metabolic rate. Energy consumption by physical activity also decreases with atrophic changes of skeletal muscle.

Explanation:

About 90% of daily energy expenditure is due to muscle mass, fat mass, and activity level. Women do tend to have slower metabolisms than men, but the difference is primarily a function of muscle mass and body size, not gender. We might expect someone with more muscle and less fat to be more metabolically healthy.

What is the major difference between bacterial chromosomes and eukaryotic chromosomes?.
Sphinxa [80]

The major difference between bacterial chromosomes and eukaryotic chromosomes is that bacteria have a single circular chromosome whereas eukaryotes have several linear chromosomes.

Eukaryotic chromosomes are present within the nucleus while prokaryotic chromosomes are found in the nucleoid (a region of the cytoplasm). The nucleoid does not have a membrane.

In eukaryotic chromosomes, DNA is wrapped around histone proteins, which is further compacted by supercoiling and folding. However, in prokaryotic chromosomes, DNA is supercoiled and held together by nucleoid-associated proteins.

Prokaryotic chromosome is very simple in comparison to the eukaryotic one. Prokaryotic chromosome lack telomeres and centromeres sequences which is found in the eukaryotic chromosomes.

Which term best describes the number of calories the body uses at rest??
Sever21 [200]
The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

<span>body mass index
basal metabolic rate
resting heart rate
resting caloric count
</span>
I believe the correct answer is the second option. The term that describes the <span>number of calories the body uses at rest would be basal metabolic rate. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
