  1. 4. Resting metabolic rate is whole-body mammal metabolism during a time period of strict and steady resting conditions that are defined by a combination of assumptions of physiological homeostasis and biological equilibrium.
  2. 7. three related compounds (acetone, acetoacetic acid, beta-hydroxybutyric acid) produced during the metabolism of fats.
  3. 8. very fat or overweight.
  4. 9. a measure of the calorie content of food relative to its weight or volume.
  5. 10. above a weight considered normal or desirable.
  6. 12. Specific dynamic action, also known as thermic effect of food or dietary induced thermogenesis, is the amount of energy expenditure above the basal metabolic rate due to the cost of processing food for use and storage.
  7. 13. a type of fat that's stored just beneath your skin.
  8. 14. below a weight considered normal or desirable.
  9. 15. Basal metabolism (HeE) is the result of chemical change that occurs in the cells of an animal in the fasting and resting state using just enough energy to maintain vital cellular activity, respiration, and circulation
