- Gaining and losing weight are matters of calorie counting. Calories in food minus calories spent in activity. 1 pound of human body fat contains approximately 3500 calories. Using figure 5.3, compare what you could burn off those calories. How far would you have to run, swim, or walk to burn 1 pound of fat, and how long would it take? Which method of burning calories appeals the most to you? The least? How much of each food would you have to consume in order to gain a single pound? How does 1 pound's worth of food compare with 1 pounds worth of exercise? Does it seem like an even trade off?arrow_forwardAs body size increases in animals, there is greater variability in metabolic rate. it becomes more difficult to conserve body warmth in cold environments. migration to tropical areas becomes necessary for thermoregulation. there is a decrease in the surface-to-volume ratio. reproduction becomes limited to terrestrial environments.arrow_forwardThe long-term stability of weight is often considered a marker of energy balance. According to Hall et al., why does weight change in the short term not necessarily represent energy imbalance? Changes in body weight include changes in body water, which may be variable Rapid turnover of fat stores can lead to short term changes in body weight Variations in energy stored per unit of body weight exist All of the abovearrow_forward

(The macronutrients are protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Yes, this question is as easy as it seems.) What is basal metabolism? What increases it? What hormone plays a significant role in BMR? (Hint: Several factors increase BMR. Don't miss the information in your chapter.) Why would a starving person be able to live for 6 to 8 weeks?
