Question 1
Small animals like rabbits that have high surface area to volume ratio experience high metabolism compared to large animals like elephants that have small surface area to volume ratio. In this case, metabolic rate per body mass for animals concurs with the conception that: metabolic rate per gram in animals tissues decrease with an increase animal’s size.
Question 2
Metabolic rates (per gram) in animals vary with body size owing the fact that surface area to volume ratio decreases as the animal becomes bigger. Apparently, small animals have high surface area to volume ratio, this means that a large part Continue reading...
