Is metabolic scaling based on push or pull of resources?

01 January 1970 0 7K Report

Or some other mechanism?

As a response to Galileo differential scaling, metabolic scaling might best be characterized as a pull. The cell pulls in the resources it needs, and no more. The pull differentially scales down on an increase in animal size.

As in: Preprint The Galileo General Model of Allometric Scaling
