Arger animals use proportionately less energy

Reference no: EM13665127

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 needs about 70,000 Cal for basic needs for one day.

1. If a 68 human required the similar energy per kg of body mass as an elephant, how much energy would be needed each day?

2. What resting power does this correspond to?
