Are the following statements true or false?
A. Most of the energy stored in the human body is in the form of fat, followed by protein. The body has only
limited capacity for storage of carbohydrate.
B. It is estimated that one kg of fat gain requires 2500 kcal of energy surplus.
A is true, B is true
O A is false, B is true
A is true, B is false
O A is false, B is false
On a per-kilogram basis, why does a small mammal such as a shrewrequire so much more energy than does an elephant or other largemammal?
Different lifestyles and careers can result in completely
different energy requirements -even between two
similarly sized people of the same sex.
(a) Compare the energy requirements of an office
worker and a landscaper who mows lawns with a
push mower for 8 hours each day. Who has the higher energy requirement and why? [2]
(b) What might happen over the course of one year if
they each consume the same number of Calories
daily? Explain why.

If 35 % of the body mass of this 96 kg adult consists of TGs (in adipose tissue), what is the total available fuel reserve, in kJ and kcal, in the form of TGs? 2. This 96 kg adult decides to begin a starvation diet to lose weight. They aim to reduce their weight to 75 kg, which will be a weight loss of 21 kg. If the only source of nutrient energy for this 96 kg adult is the oxidation of fatty acids stored at TGs, how long (in days plus hours) will it take for this person to lose 21 kg of their body weight under starvation conditions? The daily energy expenditure for this 96 kg adult is 8700 kJ. This is equivalent to the recommended Australian average daily energy intake of 8700 kJ. 3. Calculate the weight loss in kg/day under such starvation conditions if the oxidation of fatty acids stored as TGs were the…arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about metabolic heat is true?
