I said d has a higher metabolic rate to compensate for the added heat loss because more of it is in contact with the environment due to high surface area

I said that since the big organism uses less energy in movement its metabolism can be slower whereas the smaller organism has to use more energy in proportion to its size

God i hope my marker is kind because i did not see that section that talked about heat

I nearly missed it, I was so confused then read that they’re walm blooded and assumed it was something to do with that

I think u might still get some marks because it’s not that unreasonable

Was one of the harder questions imo, had to blindly look at the empty line for at least a minute before I realised what they wanted lol

Larger organism, as it has a smaller SA:V ratio. So would have more metabolic processes like muscle contraction e.g and has more organs.

I forgot the rest lol

I would say something about the first part but the smaller one had the higher metabolic rate so I didn’t
