Question

what is a characteristic of total body fat?
it includes stored fat in body tissue.
it includes essential fats harmful for cell function.
it can be used to determine a persons body weight.
it can be used to determine body mass percentage.

Explanation:

• Total body fat includes stored fat in body tissue. Essential fats are not harmful for cell function (they are necessary for normal body functioning). Body weight is not determined solely by total body fat. Body mass percentage is not a standard term related to total body fat in this context. Body mass index (BMI) is calculated using weight and height, not total body fat directly in the way described for the third and fourth options.

Answer:

It includes stored fat in body tissue.
