Answer 1

An individual with a low metabolic rate is A) more likely to have a fatter body as they burn off calories less efficiently. E) Nutrition is not considered a psychological hunger factor as it is a physiological need.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 278: An individual with a low metabolic rate is (A) More likely to have a fatter body.

This is because a person's metabolic rate is the amount of energy that is expended in a given period of time, and people with lower rates of metabolism burn off calories less easily than those with higher rates, making them more prone to storing excess energy in the form of fat if they consume more calories than they burn.

Question 279: Among the options provided, (E) Nutrition is not an example of a psychological hunger factor.

Psychological factors, such as Social-cultural, Learned associations, Personality traits, and Peer pressure, influence our desire to eat beyond the physical need for nutrition, which is more physiological in nature.
