Which of the following does NOT contribute to basal metabolism?
A)Exercise programs
B)Muscle tone

E)Cell membrane transport

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exercise programs do not contribute to basal metabolism, as basal metabolism is the energy required for essential physiological processes when the body is at rest. Exercise programs increase metabolic rate above the basal level. Muscle tone, heart contractions, thermoregulation, and cell membrane transport are all essential physiological processes that contribute to basal metabolism.
