This includes the energy required to keep the heart beating, the lungs breathing, the kidneys functioning, and the body temperature stabilized. Approximately 70 percent of an individual’s energy expenditure goes into basal metabolism. The other 30 percent goes into digestion and absorption of nutrients (10%) and physical movement (about 20%). Calculate your basal metabolic rate in Calories using the appropriate equation here: Females: BMR = 655 + (9.6 × wt(kg)) + (1.8 × ht(cm)) – (4.7 × age(yrs)) Males: BMR = 66 + (13.7 × wt(kg)) + (5 × ht(cm)) – (6.8 × age(yrs)) Calculate how many Calories you burn overall in a day.arrow_forwardA well-trained athlete is found to have a moderately increased plasma total cholesterol concentration. What additional measurements would you advise this person to take in order to gain a better understanding of the importance of the increased cholesterol? Hint: Think about the forms in which cholesterol exists in the blood.arrow_forward
- Which of the following conditions is not applicable to measuring basal metabolic rate? a. reclining b. the time immediately after a meal c. room temperature d. restingarrow_forwardWhen you jog, most of the food energy you burn above your basal metabolic rate (BMR) ends up as internal energy that would raise your body temperature if it were not eliminated. The evaporation of perspiration is the primary mechanism for eliminating this energy. Determine the amount of water you lose to evaporation when running for 32 minutes at a rate that uses 400 kcal/h above your BMR. (That amount is often considered to be the "maximum fat-burning" energy output. The latent heat of vaporization of water at room temperature is 2.5 106 J/kg.)The metabolism of 1 gram of fat generates approximately 8.65 kcal of energy and produces approximately 1 gram of water. (The hydrogen atoms in the fat molecule are transferred to oxygen to form water.) What fraction of your need for water will be provided by fat metabolism?arrow_forwardFrom the table below which shows the metabolic rate for each activity, if a person with height 1.50m and weight of 60kg completed all these activities in one day.

For children above the age of 6 months who suffer from anxiety disorders, diazepam is administered at a reduced dosage. Suppose a child with a body surface area (BSA) of 0.8 m2 is to receive a dose of diazepam divided into three administrations. Using the BSA rule and assuming that an adult dose of diazepam is 12 mg, what are the daily dose and the dose per administration? mgarrow_forward
