Problem 49GP
Smaller mammals use proportionately more energy than larger mammals; that is, it takes more energy per gram to power a mouse than a human. A typical mouse has a mass of 20 g and, at rest, needs to consume 3.0 Cal each day for basic body processes.
a. If a 68 kg human used the same energy per kg of body mass as a mouse, how much energy would be needed each day?
b. What resting power does this correspond to? How much greater is this than the resting power noted in the chapter?
