Answer:

39.82 %

Explanation:

Proteins and carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram. On the other hand, fats provide 9 calories.

We can first calculate the calories of protein + carbohydrates:

       (30g + 4g) x 4 = 136 calories

And we must calculate the calories provided by fat:

        10g x 9 = 90 calories

Now to get the percentage we must see how many calories the dessert has in total:

          136 + 90 = 226 cal

This represents 100% of calories. And now we need to find out how much 90 calories are from the total.

           226 cal -----> 100%

             90 cal ------> X

       (90 x 100) / 226 = 39.82 %

Luden [163]

Answer:

The scaling exponent will be 0.75

Explanation:

According to a famous article by Max Kleiber*, the scaling of the metabolic rate or energy consumption for mammals Pmetab (measured in kcal/day) with the body mass Mb (measured in kilograms) is  P metab = 70 Mb^0.75 .

What is the scaling exponent (the quantity x in a scaling law A = cMbx) for the specific metabolic rate as a function of the animal’s body mass?

he scaling of the metabolic rate or energy consumption for mammals P=kcal/day

Mb=body mass in kilograms

Comparing

P metab = 70 Mb^0.75 .

with A = cMb^x

the scaling exponent will be 0.75

metabolic rate is the energy(in kilojoule) consumed at rest. it accounts for the highest amount of energy a body consumes daily
