3. What is energy metabolism?

Explanation

Energy metabolism refers to the process by which the body converts food into energy through metabolic reactions. These reactions can be either anabolic, involving the building up of molecules, or catabolic, involving the breaking down of molecules. Energy is utilized during these reactions to support various bodily functions and activities. This process is essential for maintaining the body's energy balance and ensuring that it has enough energy to carry out its daily tasks.

Environment can affect BMI through access to healthy food options and opportunities for physical activity. Gender can influence BMI as men tend to have higher muscle mass and lower body fat percentage compared to women. Weight and height are directly related to BMI calculation. Growth during childhood and adolescence can impact BMI as well. Finally, body composition, which refers to the proportion of muscle, fat, and bone in the body, can affect BMI.

10. What is thermo genesis?

Explanation

Thermogenesis refers to the process in which the body produces heat energy. This occurs when the body is adapting to extreme weather conditions, such as cold temperatures. During digestion, the body uses calories to break down food, and this process also generates heat energy. Therefore, the correct answer is "The calories used during digestion when the body is adapting to extreme weather."

Submit
11. ATP  is ?

Explanation

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule that serves as the primary energy source for cellular processes. It is responsible for storing and releasing energy within cells. The correct answer, "Amount of energy intake compared to amount expended," accurately describes ATP as it represents the balance between the energy taken in through food and the energy expended by the body. This balance is crucial for maintaining proper energy levels and overall metabolic function.
