Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "set point" refers to the idea that there is a range of body weight that is genetically determined and maintained through biological mechanisms. This means that even if an individual tries to lose or gain weight through diet and exercise, their body will resist going outside of this set point range. Metabolic rate and regulated weight are related concepts, but they do not specifically refer to the genetically-determined weight range known as the set point.
