The component of total energy expenditure (TEE) that is the rate of energy expended for the functions that sustain life is: A. basal metabolic rate (BMR) B. physical activity (PA) C. non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) D. thermic effect of food (TEF)

Explanation: Total Energy expenditure this is the total amount of calories burned by a human body in one day. By comparing it to the amount of activity carried out by that individual in that single day. Such activities are classified as

1. sedentary (in active e.g seating for long periods).

2. moderate ( walking)

3. strenous ( hugging, excercisng e.t.c)

This calculated by adding 30% of the Basal Energy Expenditure (BEE) calories to the BEE for sedentary (inactive) activity.

The study of the environment is called ecology.

The correct answer is A.

Total Energy expenditure is the total amount of calories burned by a human body in one day.

By comparing it to the amount of activity carried out by that individual in that single day. Such activities are classified as follows:-

Sedentary (inactive e.g seating for long periods).
Moderate ( walking)
Strenuous ( hugging, exercising e.t.c)

After the calculation by adding 30% of the Basal Energy Expenditure (BEE) calories to the BEE, we will get the sedentary (inactive) activity.

Hence, the correct answer is A that is basal metabolic rate.
