Perseverance was the third robotic visitor from Earth to arrive at Mars in February 2021. Earlier this month, two other spacecraft, Hope from the United Arab Emirates and Tianwen-1 from China, entered orbit around Mars. Why is there so much interest in Mars? How are the three missions similar and different? Review the infographic for inspiration.

the energy generated by an individual's metabolism is calculated in met (metabolic equivalent of task). the met is the ratio of the work metabolic rate to the resting metabolic rate. one met is illustrated as 1 kcal per kilogram per hour, and is probably equal to the energy cost of sitting quietly.

1 met is equal to 1.162 watt per kg

1 kg is equal to 1000 grams

as the person weighs 80000 gm, that is, 80 kg.

therefore, 80*1.162 = 92.96

thus, the person expends 92.96 watts of power while at rest.

the cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of living organisms, which can exist on its own. therefore, it is sometimes called the building block of life. some organisms, such as bacteria or yeast, are unicellular—consisting only of a single cell—while others, for instance, mammalians, are multicellular.
