Assignment is done, just question 4 I think it needs a little more explanation.. for example, ‘Discuss in detail physiological changes or problems related to metabolic rate, scaling of physiological processes, temperature regulation, osmoregulation, energy intake, respiratory physiology, and/or any other area of environmental adaptation discussed this semester.”

Original question: Honey, I shrunk the kids! Apart from the obvious challenges of vacuum

cleaners and predatory house cats, consider the physiological changes

that would occur, or that would be necessary for normal body function,

if these children were miniaturized to about 1/100 original body size

(in direct 1:1 proportion). Discuss in detail physiological changes or

problems related to metabolic rate, scaling of physiological processes,

temperature regulation, osmoregulation, energy intake, respiratory

physiology, and/or any other area of environmental adaptation discussed

this semester. You may assume that these children are in a comfortable

home (about 75°F) and encounter periods of strenuous exertion when

evading predators.
