Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:
"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 person’s body weight. It can be used to determine body mass percentage. "
Answer:
It can be used to determine body mass percentage.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total body fat can be used to determine the percentage of body mass.
Your body fat percentage is simply the percentage of fat your body has. Total body mass includes body fat and lean mass values (muscles, organs, blood, and everything else). A certain amount of fat is essential for the body to perform vital functions. Therefore, a person can never get rid of all the body fat but lower the percentage so that the body becomes shapely and the muscles begin to appear.
