Answer the following question given this paragraph: Power Consumed at Rest The rate at which the body uses food energy to sustain life and to do different activities is called the metabolic rate. The total energy conversion rate of a person at rest is called the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and is divided among various systems in the body, as shown in Table 7.4. The largest fraction goes to the liver and spleen, with the brain coming next. Of course, during vigorous exercise, the energy consumption of the skeletal muscles and heart increase markedly. About 75% of the calories burned in a day go into these basic functions. The BMR is a function of age, gender, total body weight, and amount of muscle mass (which burns more calories than body fat). Athletes have a greater BMR due to this last factor. Q: The rate at which the body uses food energy to sustain life and to do different activities is called the what? Choices: - hormonal rate - calorie rate - life cycle - metabolic rate A:
**Answer**
metabolic rate

That's one reason why you should keep the products in their original containers. The labels also explain how to use the products safely.

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Forests are also being destroyed. Trees may be cut down for their wood, or they may be burned to clear the land for farming. Burning wood releases more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. You can see how a tropical rainforest was cleared for farming in Figure below . With forests shrinking, there are fewer trees to remove carbon dioxide from the air. This makes the greenhouse effect even worse. Q: What does burning wood release into the atmosphere? Choices: - oxygen - helium - hydrogen chloride - carbon dioxide A:
**Answer**
carbon dioxide
