The thyroid sits low on the front of the neck. Your Thyroid lies below your Adam's apple, along the front of the windpipe. Thyroid hormones control metabolism, growth, body temperature, muscle strength, appetite, and the health of your heart, brain, kidneys, and reproductive system.

<span>The thyroid’s main role in the endocrine system is to regulate your metabolism, which is your body’s ability to break down food and convert it to energy. Food essentially fuels our bodies, and our bodies each “burn” that fuel at different rates. This is why you often hear about some people having “fast” metabolism and others having “slow” metabolism.</span>

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
