The Approach Most Commonly Used to Measure Metabolic Rate Is

question 9

Multiple Choice

The approach most commonly used to measure metabolic rate is to measure the rate of O₂ consumption. Although there are small errors inherent in this method, it is easy, and provides a good estimate of metabolic rate. Why is the rate of oxygen consumption an appropriate measure of metabolic rate?

• A)Metabolic rate is the amount of energy used per unit time. The production of usable energy in the form of ATP depends largely on aerobic respiration.
• B)Metabolic rate is the amount of energy used per unit time. The hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and P_i is an aerobic process.
• C)Metabolic rate is the amount of energy released in anabolic processes, and anabolic processes are aerobic.
