  1. Which equation is used to calculate the basal energy expenditure (BEE) in kilocalories per day?
A. Henderson-Hasselbalch
B. Quadratic
C. Harris-Benedict
D. Stein-Leventhal

 

 

ANS:   C

 

  Feedback
A The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is used to perform the calculations required in preparation of buffers for use in the laboratory, or other applications.
B A quadratic equation is a second-order polynomial equation in a single variable.
C The Harris-Benedict equation is a formula that uses basal metabolic rate (BMR) and then applies an activity factor to determine total daily energy expenditure (calories). The only factor omitted by the Harris-Benedict equation is lean body mass. Remember, leaner bodies need more calories than less lean ones. Therefore, this equation will be accurate in all but the very muscular (underestimates calorie needs) and the very fat (overestimates calorie needs).
D Stein-Leventhal is an endocrine condition also known as polycystic ovary syndrome.
