Question
Select all that applyWhich of the following statements about basal and resting metabolism are true?Multiple select question.Basal metabolism is calculated based on a fasting state.Resting metabolism is usually higher than basal metabolism.Resting metabolism accounts for about 80-90% of energy expenditure in a resting person.
Solution
-
"Basal metabolism is calculated based on a fasting state." - This statement is true. Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy expended while at rest in a neutrally temperate environment, in the post-absorptive state (meaning that the digestive system is inactive, which requires about 12 hours of fasting in humans).
-
"Resting metabolism is usually higher than basal metabolism." - This statement is also true. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is slightly higher than BMR, as it includes energy expended on digestion and non-exercise daily activities.
-
"Resting metabolism accounts for about 80-90% of energy expenditure in a resting person." - This statement is true as well. In a sedentary person, RMR can account for up to 80-90% of total daily energy expenditure. The remaining energy is used for physical activity and the thermic effect of food (the energy used to digest and absorb food).
