Kleiber's Law states that for the vast majority of animals, the metabolic rate M is a power function of the weight W, and the power is k = 4 (a) The Eastern gray squirrel weighs about 1 pound. How does the squirrel's metabolic rate compare with that of a 200-pound man? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) The man's metabolic rate is times that of the squirrel. (b) How does a 200-pound man's metabolic rate compare with that of a 120-pound woman? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) The man's metabolic rate is times that of the woman. (c) Based on your answer to part (b), would overeating (the same amount for each) be more likely to lead to weight gain for the man or for the woman? O Overeating would be more likely to lead to weight gain for the man. O Overeating would be more likely to lead to weight gain for the woman.
