Answer:

a) Humans depend upon other organisms for food and oxygen

Explanation:

Biodiversity refers to the richness in the species of organisms on Earth i.e the variety of biological organisms on the Earth. The importance of biodiversity cannot be overemphasized because of our dependence on the sustainability of biodiversity in our ecosystems.

The loss of biodiversity, which is becoming rampant by the day, is a major concern to us because we humans depend upon other organisms for food and oxygen. Humans are strictly heterotrophic and hence are reliant on variety of organisms for food. Plants also release oxygen gas via their photosynthetic process, which is key to our survival as a population.

Calculate the average metabolic rate of a 65-kg person who sleeps 8.0h, sits at a desk 6.0h, engages in light activity 6.0h, watches TV 2.0h, plays tennis 1.5 h, and runs 0.50h daily, If the metabolic rate for sleeping is 70 J/s, for sitting is 115 J/s, for engage in light activity is 230 J/s, for watching TV is 115 J/s, for playing tennis is 460J/s and for running is 1150 J/s.

Answer:

171.8 W

Explanation:

The Average metabolic rate can be deduced by multiplying each entity performed at a some particular hour of time with their corresponding energy, all divided by 24 hours.

Average metabolic rate = $\frac{(8.0*70)(6.0*115)(6.0*230)(2.0*115)(1.5*460)(0.5*1150)}{24}$
