BMR (basal metabolic rate) Basal metabolic rate (BMR)‚ and the closely related resting metabolic rate (RMR)‚ is the amount of energy expended while at rest in a neutrally temperate environment‚ in the post-absorptive state (meaning that the digestive system is inactive‚ which requires about twelve hours of fasting in humans). The release of energy in this state is sufficient only for the functioning of the vital organs‚ the heart‚ lungs and kidneys and the rest of the nervous system‚ intestine‚

understand their metabolic process at various temperatures. Other studies show that although poikilotherms are viable at varying temperatures some organisms like the salmon still struggle to survive or succeed as temperature fluctuate (Brett 1971). The fish loses energy and at different stages of their life‚ they have different temperature tolerances that ultimately regulate the fish species overall population and success (Bisson and Davis 1976).

GREAT METABOLIC CHALLENGE Metabolism is a series of vital biochemical processes that take place in order to sustain life. During a marathon run‚ the individual relies on the breakdown of carbohydrates and lipids‚ in order to provide energy release in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). This essay will focus on the role of mobilization and structures of both carbohydrates and lipids in the production of ATP. Mobilization of Carbohydrates When carbohydrates are consumed during a meal‚ catabolism
