WHY WOULD A PERSON WHO IS VERY PHYSICALLY ACTIVE NEED TO TAKE IN MORE CALORIES THAN A PERSON WHO IS VERY ACTIVE?

A Calorie is a measurement of "fuel" availability. If a person is VERY physically active, they need to take in more fuel to stay the same weight. Just like a car that drives more miles in a day needs more fuel than one that sits in a parking lot.
Depending on the size of the person, there's a base amount of calories needed to perform the requirements of the body, like fueling breathing and sitting and moving. The more you move, the more calories you use.
When you start using more calories per day than you take in, you start to lose weight. The fat gets converted to energy to fill in the extra calories needed to cover the amount taken in versus the amount needed to do all that moving. That's why you lose weight. Or, you take in more calories if you are very physically active and want to stay the same weight.

People don't really "lose" calories. They use energy to do everyday tasks, and this accounts for how MUCH energy one loses. When you exercise, you use more energy so you burn more calories. The average person burns 2000-2500 calories per day, but an athlete or someone very active would burn more.

Two people doing identical work can burn a significantly different number of calories, because a lot of it has to do with metabolism and weight.

How does anatomy affect a person's daily life?
allow me to reconstruct your question. maybe the right question would be, how does a person's daily life affect his/ her anatomy? a person who is living a sedentary life, meaning have a poor diet, lifestyle, and rarely exercises would likely to have a poor immune system and body build up.making him/her look unhealthy physically. a more active lifestyle would make a healthy person. i hope i made a point on that!
