UPDATE!!!2025/2026|GUARANTEED
Isometric - ANSWER Two variables scale in direct proportion to each other: The scale
factor =1
Allometric - ANSWER Non-equal scaling: Objects change shape in order to remain
functional equivalence. Scale factor >1 or <1
Allometric Equation - ANSWER Y= aM^b
M= mass (typically on x axis)
a= Elevation
b= scale factor
Independent Scaling - ANSWER The scale factor, b=0
Logged Allometric Equation - ANSWER Log(Y)= Log(a)+ b*Log(M)
Makes for straight lines where b is the slope
Geometric Scaling - ANSWER Objects increase by same geometric dimentions--
complicated with Surface area to volume ratio
SA:Volume Ratio - ANSWER Gets increasingly smaller as objects size increases
