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
Solute potential of a solution is calculated using the formula,
Ψ
Where,
Ψ
is the solute potential of the solution,
<em>i</em> is the degree to which the solute ionizes(ionization constant) in solution = 1, as sucrose is a nonelectrolyte.
C is the concentration of the solution in molarity = 0.5 M
R is the gas constant or the pressure constant = 0.0831 L.bar/(mol.K)
T is the temperature in Kelvin scale = 
Calculating the solute potential of the surrounding sucrose solution:
Ψ
= -(1 * 0.5 M * (0.0831 L.bar/(mol.K))* 303 K)
= 12.6 bar
Therefore, the solute potential of the surrounding solution is 12.6 bar
C is incorrect
Both acids and bases produce ions in solution, are electrolytes, and conduct electricity in solution. Although red litmus is an indicator, it does not change color in an acid, acids are proton donors while bases are proton acceptors. Soaps often contain bases, not acids.
D) conduct electricity in water. is the correct answer
A scientist must always try to avoid bias in scientific
experiments. It is important for scientist to avoid leaning into their bias
when trying to confirm their hypothesis. As much as possible the scientist
should be able to follow the scientific method to avoid bias.
