Detailed explanation-1: -Question: Overall, 80% of the energy used by the body must be eliminated as excess thermal energy and needs to be dissipated. The mechanisms of elimination are radiation, evaporation of sweat (2, 430 kJkg 2, 430 k J k g ), evaporation from the lungs (38 kJh 38 k J h ), conduction, and convection.

Detailed explanation-2: -Basal metabolism refers to the minimum energy consumption necessary to sustain basic physiological functions (about 1.200-2.400 kcal/24hours which is roughly equivalent to 5.000-10.000 kJ/24 hours).
