Chapter 40, Problem 15TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The energy spent on growth and activity differs based on the animal’s growth and activity amount needed for food, escaping from predators, and construction of shelter. Proportions of energy that is devoted to various activities will vary between animals and the environment. For smaller animals, the expenditure of the overall energy per unit mass is approximately higher among smaller animals.
