Question

basal metabolic rate (bmr) accounts for
a 20 - 40% of a persons daily energy expenditure.
b 30 - 50% of a persons daily energy expenditure.
c 40 - 60% of a persons daily energy expenditure.
d 50 - 70% of a persons daily energy expenditure.

Explanation:

The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy expended while at rest in a neutrally - thermic environment. It typically accounts for 50 - 70% of a person's daily energy expenditure. This is because BMR is responsible for maintaining basic physiological functions such as breathing, circulation, and cell production.

Answer:

D. 50-70% of a person's daily energy expenditure.
