Question

Is there a relationship between the size of an organism and its life span? Give two examples in support of your answer.

Answer 1

There is no relationship between the size of an organism and its life span. For example; both Mango and Peepal tree are similar in size but a Mango tree has a much shorter life span compared to a Peepal tree. A tortoise is much smaller than an Elephant, the Tortoise lives for 80 - 120 years, while the Elephant lives for about 48 - 60 years.
