question 39

Multiple Choice

The basal metabolic rate (BMR) of an animal is a measure of the amount of energy it needs for survival. An animal with a larger BMR will need more food to survive. One simple model for the BMR states that among animals of a similar shape, the rate is proportional to the square of the length. If one animal is 5 times as long as another, how much larger is its BMR compared to the smaller animal?
