- Which birds are held in high esteem all over Asia and adored as symbols of long lifearrow_forwardThe recommended daily caloric intake is 2000 calories (8,400,000J). This is because this is the same value for how much the average body loses to heat and work in a typical day (your change in energy is zero because you take in the same amount of energy you lose). A) If you lose a total of 8,400,000J (Qout+W=total lost), but consume 1200 calories of food (5,000,000J), what would your change in energy be?
