According to a famous article by Max Kleiber*, the scaling of the metabolic rate or energy consumption for mammals Pₘₑₜₐᵦ (measured in kcal/day) with the body mass Mb (measured in kilograms) is Pₘₑₜₐᵦ = 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?

    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
