Suppose That You Want to Plot Metabolic Data for Animals

question 63

Multiple Choice

Suppose that you want to plot metabolic data for animals ranging in weight from 2 g to 10,000,000 g. A log‒log plot would be useful because

• A) data > 1,000,000 g or < 1 g cannot be plotted on other kinds of graphs.
• B) a log‒log plot transforms an allometric equation into a curve.
• C) a log‒log plot puts all animals (e.g., birds and frogs) on the same trend line.
• D) with a log‒log plot, a wide range of body weights can easily be plotted on the same graph.
