You have been tracking an adult female otter who weighs 25 kg. How many kilocalories must she consume each day to maintain her body weight?

62.5 kilocalories

Explanation:

Otters are a subfamily of carnivorous mammals which consume a variety of animals such as amphibians, crustaceans, fish, snails, water insects, worms, birds, turtles, frogs and aquatic invertebrates (insects). They are great swimmers which helps them look for food, and they can close their nostrils being able to stay underwater for up to 4 minutes.

A calory is an unit of measurement of the energy found in food which is defined as the unit of thermal energy equivalent to the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. For example, if a certain food provides 300 calories, this is the energy that the body could receive when consuming it.

To maintain its  weight, the female otter must consume 250 calories per kilogram of body weight per day. So if the otter has a weight of 25 kilograms, then 250*25= 6250 calories (or 62.5 kilocalories) needed per day to maintain the weight.

and use nitrogen compounds.

e,bacteria break down waste    

products and return nitrogen  

to the soil.

a,bacteria convert atmospheric

nitrogen to ammonia.

c,bacteria convert ammonia

to nitrites and nitrates.

in the year 2850, humans successfully colonized mars. the martian modules that were constructed could hold only a small population of people. it is now a century later, and the population on mars has grown to 600 people. of the current mars population, 45 people express the recessive phenotype for phenylketon- uria (pku) syndrome (pp genotype).
