Answer to Question 1

B
The rate of energy use in the body, called the metabolic rate, is expressed in calories. The large amount of energy released during metabolism is expressed in kilocalories (kcal), each of which equals 1,000 calories. The amount of energy required to maintain essential physiologic functions (e.g., circulation and respiration) when the body is at complete physical and mental rest is called basal metabolism.
