Question Which can affect basal metabolic rate? (1 point) Responses age age appetite appetite hunger hunger daily values
Your nutritional needs, and therefore your calorie needs, are related to your basal metabolic rate. Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the rate at which you use energy when your body is at rest. The higher your BMR, the more calories you burn. Various factors affect BMR. Younger people tend to have a higher BMR than older ones. People who have more muscle mass tend to have a higher BMR than those with less muscle mass because muscle burns calories. Your level of activity also affects your calorie needs. The more active you are, the more calories you need. The figure compares the number of calories burned per hour for various activities.

The factor that can affect basal metabolic rate (BMR) from the options provided is **age**. BMR generally decreases with age.
While appetite and hunger relate to eating behavior and energy intake, they do not directly affect BMR itself. Daily values typically refer to nutritional guidelines and do not influence BMR directly. Therefore, the correct response is **age**.
