Calculate RER and fuel source if oxygen consumption is 5.82 L/min and CO2 consumption is 5.70 L/min. Select one: a. 0.98, carbohydrates b. 0.72, fat c. 0.89, fat d. 0.98, cannot be determined Calculate the BMR in kcal/ hr. for a person who takes in 0.4 L O2/min at rest with an RER of .75. (Hint 0.75 = 4.74 kcal/L O2) Select one: a. 46.08 kcal/hour b. 56.5 kcal/hour c. 2,765 kcal/day d. 3,370 kcal/day

A person's metabolic rate can be determined by measuring their rate of oxygen consumption. Upon metabolizing carbohydrates, the energy released is 4.1 kcal per gram of carbohydrate and the oxygen consumed is 0.81 liters per gram of carbohydrate. (a) Calculate the energy yield per liter of oxygen consumed. (b) An average adult at rest uses about 16 liters of oxygen per hour. Find the corresponding heat released, called basal metabolic rate (BMR), in kcal/ hour and in kcal/ day (c) What power output does this correspond to in watts?

The number of kilocalories per day required by a person resting under standard conditions is called the basal metabolic rate (BMR). (a) To generate 1 kcal, Jermaine's body needs approximately 0.010 mol of oxygen. If Jermaine's net intake of oxygen through breathing is 0.015 mol/min while he is resting, what is his BMR in kcal/day? (b) If Jermaine fasts for 24 h, how many pounds of fat does he lose? Assume that only fat is consumed. Each gram of fat consumed generates $9.3 \mathrm{kcal}$
