Metabolic Allometric Scaling of Unicellular Organisms as a Product of Selection Guided by Optimization of Nutrients Distribution in Food Chains
Yuri K. Shestopaloff
One of the major characteristics of living organisms is metabolic rate, which is the amount of energy produced per unit of time. When the mass of organisms increases, the metabolic…
Metabolic allometric scaling of multicellular organisms as a product of evolutionary development and optimization of food chains
Yuri K. Shestopaloff
Production of energy is a foundation of life. Metabolic rate of organisms (amount of energy produced per unit time) generally increases slower than organisms' mass, which has impor…
Interspecific allometric scaling of unicellular organisms as an evolutionary process of food chain creation
Yuri K. Shestopaloff
Metabolism of living organisms is a foundation of life. The metabolic rate (energy production per unit time) increases slower than organisms' mass. When this phenomenon is consider…
Why cells grow and divide? General growth mechanism and how it defines cells' growth, reproduction and metabolic properties
Yuri K. Shestopaloff
We consider a general growth mechanism, which acts at cellular level and above (organs, systems and whole organisms). Using its mathematical representation, the growth equation, we…
Physical mechanisms influencing life origin and development. Physical-biochemical paradigm of Life
Yuri K. Shestopaloff
The present view of biological phenomena is based on a biochemical paradigm that development of living organisms is defined by information stored in a molecular form as some geneti…
