Question

which of the following factors raises the bmr?
select one
a. fasting
b. obesity
c. sleep
d. growth
e. malnutrition

Explanation:

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is influenced by various factors. Fasting (A) typically lowers BMR as the body conserves energy. Obesity (B) can increase BMR slightly due to more tissue, but growth (D) involves processes like cell division and tissue building, which require more energy, thus raising BMR. Sleep (C) lowers BMR as metabolic activity decreases, and malnutrition (E) lowers BMR as the body conserves energy. So growth is a key factor that raises BMR.

Answer:

D. Growth
