The correct answer is - C. hominoids.
The hominoids are a group of mammals that do not share the same basic features as the other mammals, speaking in the manner of physical appearance only of course.
The hominoids have started to develop in a much different manner than the rest of the mammals, becoming exclusively bipedal, losing their hair for protection, losing their strength even, becoming species without any particular natural defense mechanisms. This type of mammals became the only one that is reliant on its brain power for its survival, and that makes them unique and not like the other mammals.
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
