Why might the measurement of the resting metabolic rate in a person be somewhat higher than her basal metabolic rate?
Answer: She ate right before the measurement was done Chapter 8 Nutrition assesment ~jmata~
When is resting metabolic rate higher than basal metabolic rate?
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is typically higher than basal metabolic rate (BMR) when an individual is in a state of rest but not fully at rest, such as during periods of digestion or after physical activity. RMR accounts for the energy expended on bodily functions while awake and at rest, including the thermic effect of food and minor physical activities. In contrast, BMR measures energy expenditure in a completely restful state, typically fasting and in a controlled environment. Therefore, RMR can be higher due to these additional factors influencing energy expenditure.
Does fat have a higher metabolic rate than muscle?
No, fat does not have a higher metabolic rate than muscle. Muscle tissue is more metabolically active than fat tissue, meaning it burns more calories at rest. This is why individuals with a higher muscle mass tend to have a higher overall metabolic rate compared to those with more body fat.
Is Resting metabolic rate higher in children than in adults?
It is a matter of doing the right adjustments!!! Adults have higher resting metabolic rates (RMR) when compared to children, this is solely based on their greater body-weight. If you adjust RMR per Kg body-weight children will have higher resting metabolic rates. Now it gets tricky, children also have a greater surface area to mass ratio. If we adjust now for surface area the RMR in children and adults become similar. The same principle accounts for the different RMRs in mice and elephants (Kleibers law)!
Why girls get higher heart beat than boys?
Because of high metabolic rate.
What does BMR?
BMR stands for basal metabolic rate. This is the rate of energy expenditure by people while at a resting point.
Why do people put on weight more easily than others?
Because they have a higher metabolic rate.
Why does a rat need more oxygen then a frog?
Rats have a higher metabolic rate than frogs.
Why is it preferable to have a resting heart rate of 70 beats per minute (BPM)or lower?
A person with a resting heart rate higher than 70 BPM is at a greater risk for Heart disease.
What would you predict to happen to your heart rate after 5 minutes of walking compared to 5 minutes running?
I predict that the heart rate after walking will be higher than the resting heart rate. I predict that the heart rate after running will be higher than the heart rate after walking.
Why do some people put weight on more easily than others?
Because they have a higher metabolic rate.
What is a bunny's metabolic rate?
A bunny's metabolic rate is typically higher than that of larger animals, allowing them to maintain their body temperature and energy levels. This higher metabolism is necessary for their small size and constant activity.
