Cells divide for many reasons. For example, when you skin your knee, cells divide to replace old, dead, or damaged cells. ... When organisms grow, it isn't because cells are getting larger. Organisms grow because cells are dividing to produce more and more cells.
Human can produce a maximum mechanical power of 1/3 hp (horse-power).
Horse power is a unit of power, it equals 746 watt (watt is also a power unit, known to be equal to a joule per second)
So:
1 ph = 746 watt = 746 J/s
1/3 ph = 248.6 J/s
we're looking for the calories, so
1 joule = 0.239006 calories
So human produce a maximum mechanical power of:
248.6 J/s = 82.88 calories per second.
We're looking for the number of calories consumed in three hours, so:
82.88 cal/s = 82.88 cal/s * 3600 s * 3 = 895200 calories = 895.2 kilocalories (food calories).
The number of food calories is 895.2 food calories
