Which most closely defines the basal metabolic rate?

a: the number of calories body uses at the rest
b: the number of calories the body uses during aerobic exercise
c: the number of calories the body uses during anaerobic exercise
d: the number of calories the body uses minus the daily calorie comsumption

answer needed !

A is the correct answer. Basal (or base) metabolic rate is the amount of calories burned at rest. This includes basic functions like breathing.

Hello

The correct answer would be a

I hope this helped!!! :)

the answer that best describes the relative refractory period in the neuron is the resting membrane potential is restored, but concentrations of sodium and potassium are not restored to their original state.

the refractory period is the time during which another stimulus given to the neuron will not lead to a second potential. thus, because na+ channels are inactivated during this time, additional depolarizing stimuli do not lead to new action potentials.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
