Skeletal muscles account for approximately 43% of the typical body mass. At rest, they use about 18% of the BMR. Of the total energy burned by the skeletal muscle, only 25% is used for work, and this is the muscular efficiency. What happens to the remaining 75% of energy? Choose the best answer. It is reabsorbed and stored for later use. It is transferred as electrical energy from the muscle to muscle. It is converted to heat to warm the body. It is used to make more ATP.

I played field hockey for 1 hour and my Fitbit Watch says that I expended 1,085 Calories. If triglycerides in my adipose (fat) cells powered all that activity, how may grams of fat were consumed in powering that exercise? (Hint: the Calorie Content of Fats you determined in Lab Exercise 9A was 8.9 Calories/g): Show your calculation…
When you jog, most of the food energy you burn above your basal metabolic rate (BMR) ends up as internal energy that would raise your body temperature if it were not eliminated. The evaporation of perspiration is the primary mechanism for eliminating this energy. Determine the amount of water you lose to evaporation when running for 32 minutes at a rate that uses 400 kcal/h above your BMR. (That amount is often considered to be the "maximum fat-burning" energy output. The latent heat of vaporization of water at room temperature is 2.5 106 J/kg.)The metabolism of 1 gram of fat generates approximately 8.65 kcal of energy and produces approximately 1 gram of water. (The hydrogen atoms in the fat molecule are transferred to oxygen to form water.) What fraction of your need for water will be provided by fat metabolism?
In a fully grown animal (i.e., one that is not growing), ingested energy becomes O excreted chemical energy + absorbed chemical energy. O heat + chemical energy accumulated in body tissues. heat + excreted chemical energy + mechanical energy of external work + absorbed energy O heat + absorbed chemical energy.
From the table below which shows the metabolic rate for each activity, if a person with height 1.50m and weight of 60kg completed all these activities in one day. Calculate the person's one day energy expenditure. Activity8hr sleeping (35 Cal/m^2 -hr)8hr moderate physical labor (150 Cal/m^2 -hr)4hr reading, writing, TV watching (60 Cal/m^2 -hr)1hr heavy exercise (300 Cal/m^2 -hr)3hr dressing, eating (100 Cal/m^2 -hr)
If an individual is exercising at a low intensity for several hours, how would the concentrations of substrates change in plasma? Plasma levels of free fatty acids would increase as triglycerides are broken down for sustained energy. They remain stable and unaffected by exercise. Plasma glucose levels would gradually increase the longer exercise continues. Plasma levels of amino acids would increase, as protein breakdown would be needed to fuel continued exercise
What happens to the metabolic rate during exercise? Explain why you feel warm when you exercise, even if the environmental temperature is cold?

The human body is composed of water, proteins, fat, and minerals. Its specific heat reflects thiscomposition. With 75% water and 25% protein, what would be the specific heat of the body?Differentiate the three ways of heat transfer.
Glycogen depletion resulting from intense, extensive exercise can lead to exhaustion and the inability to continue exercising. Some people also experience dizziness, an inability to concentrate, and a loss of muscle control. Account for these symptoms.
A deer eats 25kg of herbaceous material per day. The herbaceous material is approximately 20% dry matter(DM) and has an energy content of 10MJ. (kg DM^-1). Of the total energy ingested per day, 25% is excreted as undigested material. Of the 75% that is digested, 80% is lost to metabolic waste products and heat. The remaining 20% is converted to body tissue. How many MJ are converted to tissue on daily basis? Calculate the percentage of energy consumed that is converted to body tissue. Draw a schematic of energy balance.
According to Hall et al., REE is the rate of energy expenditure at rest and comprises approximately two-thirds of energy expenditure. True False
