Question

3. Two animals of similar weight (150 kg) begin prep arations for winter hibernation. To survive, the animals need to store enough energY n without losing any of their original weight over a 90 day period. Prior to to allow them to burn 1000 kcal/day of hibernatio hibernation, animal A added 20 kg of weight all as carbohydrate (-4 kcal/s), whereas animale kcal/g). added 10 kg of weight all as fat (-9 n? (Assume each animal does not gain or lose weight for any reason How much will each animal weigh after 90 days of hibernatio other than energy storage noted above (e.s., no water weight gain/loss). Will they both survive? (Show all your work). (5 pts)

Explanation / Answer

3.During 90 days peroid of hibernation they require (1000×90)=90000 kcal

1gm carbohydrate gives 4 kcal

20Kg=( 20×1000 )gm carbohydrate gives (20000×4)=80000kcal

So, it needs extra 10000kcal .

Animal A will not survive

Animal B: 1gm fat gives 9 kcal

10kg=10000 gm fat gives 90000kcal

Required kcal during hybernation peroid is 90000 kcal

It will survive and weight after 90 days will be 150kg.
