Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Factors that increase a person's basal metabolic rate (BMR) include growth, infections, fever, emotional tension, extreme environmental temperatures, and elevated levels of certain hormones (epinephrine and thyroid hormones). Aging, prolonged fasting, and sleep all decrease BMR.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
To lose 1 pound (0.45 kg) in a week, daily calorie intake should be decreased by 500 calories a day. One pound of body fat equals about 3,500 calories; 3,500 calories divided by 7 days = 500 calories/day.
