NEET · Biology · STD 12 - 11. organisms and populations
It is much easier for a small animal to run uphill than for a large animal, because
- A small animals have a lower \(O_2\) requirement
- B smaller animals have a higher metabolic rate.
- C it is easier to carry a small body weight
- D the efficiency of muscles in large animalsis less than in the small animals
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) smaller animals have a higher metabolic rate.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(b) :Metabolic rate is directly proportional to the size of an animal. Larger the animal, lower is the metabolic rate.Small animals can run uphill than a large animal because of their fast metabolic rate.So, the correct option is 'smaller animals have a higher metabolic rate'
