you use the same amount of energy as your heart uses each time it beats.

Pick up a tennins ball and give a hard squeeze. In doing that, you use about the same amount of energy as your heart uses each time it beats.

Hi,

Is "as" in the above optional?

Besides, could I replace "beats" with "pumps" without making a change in meaning? Thanks.
