Which two statements about basal metabolic rate are true? (A) If you exercise vigorously, you will need to consume fewer calories than your BMR suggests to maintain a constant weight. (B) The basal metabolic rate determines exactly how many calories to consume each day. (C) If you lose weight, your BMR will not change. (D) If all other factors are identical, a person who weighs more will have a higher BMR than a person who weighs less ( E) Basal metabolic rate includes the energy consumed by the body during cellular respiration.

Which of the following statements about metabolic rate is FALSE? Metabolic rate may be measured by determining the rate of oxygen consumption. The metabolic rate per gram of tissue in ectotherms is dependent on external temperature. An organism's overall metabolic rate increases with the animal's mass. The metabolic rate per gram of tissue is greater in endotherms than in ectotherms. The metabolic rate per gram of tissue is greater in large endotherms than in small endotherms.
