Explain how the following factors determine the daily energy requirement in human:
(a) Age
(b) Occupation
(c) Sex


Answer:

(a) Age
-Young people are actively/rapidly growing hence require more energy than older people for cell division.
(b) Occupation
-Manual workers require more energy equivalent to work done than sedentary workers.
(c) Sex
-Males are more muscular hence require more energy than females to maintain every cell.
