The basal metabolic rate means how many calories your body would burn if you were to completely rest for a period of 24 hours. Your basal metabolic rate indicates how much energy your body needs to perform vital body functions such as breathing and heart rate.

The energy needed to fuel essential body processes is called?
Metabolism. Basic Metabolic Rate (BMR)
What is basal rate?
Your metabolism is the processing of food into energy that the body can use. Anything that you do, any activity at all, requires some degree of metabolism. But if you are not doing anything (other than resting) then your metabolism is at the lowest rate that it ever is. That is called the basal metabolic rate.
The amount of energy the body uses at complete rest known as the what?
The amount of energy used by the body at rest is sometimes called the basal metabolic rate.
Is the amount of energy needed to mainain life function while the body is at rest?
'Basal Metabolism' or 'Basal Metabolic Rate'
What is the term for an estimate of the amount of energy needed to maintain basic body functions while at rest?
Basal Metabolism

What is basal metabolic?
This refers to the metabolic RATE of metabolism at rest. Maximum sustained rate is about 10 times higher. Minimum (when you're sleeping) is about 60 to 75% of basal. For an adult human it's equivalent of consuming about 250 cc of Oxygen per minute.
Can drugs upset the basal metabolism?
yes it does
What is the relationship between basal energy metabolism and protein metabolism?
it changes things
The amount of energy the human body needs to stay alive and carry on vital processes is called what type of metabolism?
Basal metabolic rate.
What are the components of total energy expenditure?
1. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) or basal metabolic rate (BMR), which equals sleeping metabolic rate (SMR) and arousal. 2. The thermogenic effect of food. 3. Exercise, or daily physical activity and spontaneous physical activity (SPA).
