Q40 - Organ Weight-Specific Basal Metabolic Rate
Refer to the question paper for figures and tables.
a. Weight-specific BMR is highest in Q and is likely to represent heart.
b. R likely represents skeletal muscles as its contribution to total BMR is much higher than its contribution to total body mass.
c. Weight-specific BMR is least in P and it likely represents adipose tissues.
d. Since both absolute BMR and % of total BMR are largest in S, it is likely to represent brain.
