Summary Introduction
Introduction:
BMR or basal metabolic rate is defined as the rate of expanded energy per unit time by an endothermic animal at the state of rest. It shows the energy amount per unit time, which is used by a person for the proper functioning of the body at rest. Factors affecting BMR include body size, weight, muscle mass, body temperature, and gender. Thyroid hormone is responsible for regulation and maintenance of BMR.

Restriction of food intake leads to which of the following?
An increase in whole body energy expenditure
Reductions in resting energy expenditure due in part to reduction in body mass
An increase in the thermic effect of food due to lower energy intake
Reductions in activity energy expenditure due to increased activity costs associated with a smaller body size
Which of the following statements about glucose regulation is FALSE? *Glucagon is released by the alpha cells when blood glucose levels are low.Insulin is released by the beta cells when blood glucose levels are high.Glucagon stimulates the formation of glycogen in the liver.Individuals with Type II diabetes produce insulin, but the insulin receptors don’t work.Insulin makes body cells more permeable to glucose.
The graph below shows a person’s insulin and glucagon levels during a four-hour hike with no break for food. When does the level of insulin drop? What is the effect on the body?
