Document Summary
M^1. 00 , this is our first principle expectation for geometrically similar organisms. However, respirator exchange surface area should be mass to 2/3 , as they get bigger they relatively get smaller. Respiratory exchange surface area (lungs, gills) - m^0. 67 so we got a problem graph: we said resting metabolism should have direct relationship with body mass. Bc of blood volume , maybe bigger mammals have less blood and circulation to carry oxygen. , less than 1 , a way reason to get bigger lungs. Resting and maximal metabolic rates do not always scale in parallel ex- australian lizards ontogenetic allometry. measured at rest and maximum, you can see that theres about a 10 fold diff. between maximal and resting. , but slopes are different, one is . 95 and other is . 83 not always parallel. residual vertical deviation from the least squares regression line.
