Kate is arguing with her friend that sardines have higher net production efficiency than blue whales. why do you think that kate is making this statement? a. because sardines are at the top of the food chain, being apex predators, as they feed on blue whales b. because sardines have better ability to assimilate energy and convert it to biomass than the blue whales c. because sardines are warm blooded and blue whales are cold blooded d. because sardines are producers and blue whales are herbivores

i think that is new experiments yield untrustworthy data and should be carefully considered, because you don't know what will happen with the experiments.

well, i believe that the answer is 2. : 3

the energy generated by an individual's metabolism is calculated in met (metabolic equivalent of task). the met is the ratio of the work metabolic rate to the resting metabolic rate. one met is illustrated as 1 kcal per kilogram per hour, and is probably equal to the energy cost of sitting quietly.

1 met is equal to 1.162 watt per kg

1 kg is equal to 1000 grams

as the person weighs 80000 gm, that is, 80 kg.

therefore, 80*1.162 = 92.96

thus, the person expends 92.96 watts of power while at rest.
