Which of the following are true about basal metabolic rate (BMR) in birds? Select all that are correct: It is >20 times higher than the BMR of ectotherms BMR is positively correlated with body mass BMR decreases substantially when birds are in flight as they minimize energy spend on other processes like digestion The high BMR of birds allows them to be energy efficient and consume less calories than animals with lower BMR

Which of the following is NOT true of the basal metabolic rate (BMR)? It is best calculated when the subject is in the absorptive state. It represents the amount of energy the body needs to perform only essential functions. It should account for body surface area. It is measured when the subject is reclining and at rest.
