Problem 50GP
Larger animals use proportionately less energy than smaller animals; that is, it takes less energy per kg to power an elephant than to power a human. A 5000 kg African elephant requires about 70,000 Cal for basic needs for one day.
a. If a 68 kg human required the same energy per kg of body mass as an elephant, how much energy would be required each day?
b. What resting power does this correspond to? How much less is this than the resting power noted in the chapter?
