The amount of food energy 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 $0.015 \mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{min}$ 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 $9.3 \mathrm{kcal}$.
A person's basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the minimal number of daily calories needed to keep their body functioning at rest. The BMR (in kcal/day) of a person of mass m (in kg), height h (in cm), and age a (in years) can be approximated by P = f(m, h, a) = 14m + 5h - 7a + 66.
