Answer:

The energy balance of our body is mediated by catabolic and anabolic reactions, the energy absorption of food translates into the energy currency necessary to maintain vital signs, fundamental muscle contractions and special muscle contractions for locomotion.

Step-by-step explanation:

This energy is measured through the basal metabolic rate, which some may not have balanced due to endocrine disorders such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, this basal metabolism is the first to be affected by systemic diseases.
