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?
An animal’s inputs of energy and materials would exceedits outputs(A) if the animal is an endotherm, which must always take inmore energy because of its high metabolic rate.(B) if it is actively foraging for food.(C) if it is growing and increasing its mass.(D) never; due to homeostasis, these energy and materialbudgets always balance
