What else can I help you with?
Is water heavier than body fat?
Yes, a liter of water weighs more than a kilogram of body fat. Water has a density of 1 kg/L, while body fat has a density of about 0.9 kg/L.
If body fat has a density of 0.94gml and 3.3 liters of fat are removed how many pounds of fat were removed?
3.102kg
Hydrostatic weighing is used to predict percent body fat based on?
body density
What is often used to determine an individual's percentage of body fat?
Density
What is the density of human body?
well i think it depends how much fat you have on your body. fat is less dense than bones and muscle, therefore a fat persons density is lower than an athletic person but an average person should be close to the waters density. (which is 1 in 4 Celcius)
What are synthesized by the liver to transport fat to the rest of the body?
very low density lipoproteins
What VOLUME of body fat weighs 10 pounds?
The volume of body fat that weighs 10 pounds is approximately 2.1 gallons (8 liters) since fat has a density of about 0.9 g/ml.
What is the difference between body mass index and body density?
These are entirely different measurements. Body mass index is simply the person's mass divided by his height. It has limited use in determining health, body fat, or anything else. Body density is more commonly used to estimate percent body fat, particularly in very large people.
Are tall people generally heavier?
The density of a person is determined by their body fat ratio, otherwise a taller person will be heavier only because they have more body mass, not necessarily more density 'heaviness'.
Do all animals have the same body density?
No, birds have a very light skeleton which makes their density lower so they can fly. Fish have an air bladder which increases their buoyancy (decreases density) so that fish body density is equal to water density. Fat animals have a lower average density than lean animals. Etc.
How would you change the density of your body to make it easier to float or sink?
To make your body easier to float, you can increase your body fat percentage, which is less dense than lean muscle mass. To make your body easier to sink, you can decrease your body fat percentage and increase your lean muscle mass, which is denser than fat.
Why are some people more buoyant than others?
People's buoyancy is influenced by their body composition, muscle density, bone density, and overall body fat percentage. Individuals with higher muscle mass tend to be less buoyant due to muscle tissue being denser than fat tissue. Additionally, body fat distribution and lung volume can also affect an individual's buoyancy in water.
