Question
**The idea that lifespan and rate of aging are determined by accumulation of irreparable cell damage** - ( ) evolutionary theory of aging - (●) rate of living theory of aging - ( ) antagonistic pleiotropy - ( ) senescence - ( ) ecological mortality **Explanation of the Highlighted Option:** The "rate of living theory of aging" is selected. This theory suggests that the lifespan and rate of aging are influenced by the accumulation of damage to cells that cannot be repaired. The theory posits that organisms have a finite amount of energy available and that a higher metabolic rate leads to a shorter lifespan due to increased wear and tear on cells.
