Explanation Metabolism, In a human cell, many chemical reactions occur in which the food molecules are broken. This leads to the release of energy, which maintains the human body temperature at normal point during the functioning of body called metabolism. Range of metabolic rate: Metabolic rate during sleeping is 40 W/m 2 The maximum metabolic rate of an average man is 1250 W Reason of considering metabolic rate: There are three factors on which the human comfort depends − temperature, humidity and motion of air
