Vedclass · Answer

(B) The metabolic rate of an organism is inversely proportional to its body size. Smaller animals have a higher surface area to volume ratio,which results in a higher metabolic rate to maintain their body temperature and physiological functions. Because of this higher metabolic rate,small animals can generate energy more rapidly,allowing them to perform strenuous activities like running uphill more easily compared to larger animals,which have a lower metabolic rate relative to their body size. Therefore,the correct option is $(b)$.

List-$I$ (Process)	List-$II$ (Location)
$A$. Glycolysis	$I$. Mitochondrial Membrane
$B$. $ETS$	$II$. Mitochondrial Matrix
$C$. Accumulation of protons	$III$. Cytoplasm
$D$. Krebs' cycle	$IV$. Intermembrane space

It is much easier for a small animal to run uphill than for a large animal,because
