Homework Help: Health

Posted by Lana on Friday, April 20, 2007 at 1:53pm.

I posted this question yesterday and I
got confused.

The determinant of total energy requirement that may most appropriately
be manipulated in a weight loss program
is:

1. basal metabolic rate
2. physical activity
3. dietary thermogensis
4. body temperature

Is the correct answer #1
basal metabolic rate?

No. you cannot manipulate that. You can however, change physical activity.

I asked you yesterday if the right answer would maybe be 2 or 3.
The right answer is physical activity?

Lana, I don't know what your question means. Bobpursley clearly stated that 2 (physical activity) is the answer, right?

??

I recommend you reread what I posted yesterday, and today. There are some serious reading comprehension issues going on here.
Do you understand 1 and 3? You really ought to understand those and why they are wrong. Basal means basal: life functions. Thermogenesis? You need to understand how that is related to basal metabolism also. One cannot change basal metabolism unless one stops breathing.

No one has answered this question yet.
