The rate of metabolisms can differ for many reasons. Age, gender, and level of physical activity are the main reasons. Younger adults/children and teens, generally have faster metabolisms. It has also been found in scientific studies that men have faster metabolisms than women due to genetic and bodily differences. Finally, people who are physically active, and have more muscle mass will have a fast rate of metabolism, due to the fact that more muscle mass=faster metabolism. There are other factors that could come into play as well. People that have eating disorders( i.e. anorexia/bulimia nervosa) generally have very slow metabolisms because they aren't eating properly, and in the case of anorexia, frequently enough. You need to take in calories in order to burn them. That is why it is suggested that about 5 to 6 smaller meals throughout the day can aid in weight loss, because it will increase your metabolic rate, allowing you to burn more calories.

How do energy needs differ between different body designs?

Energy needs differ between body designs based on factors like metabolism, muscle mass, activity level, and overall size. For example, a larger body with more muscle mass will typically require more energy to sustain itself compared to a smaller body with lower muscle mass. Additionally, individuals with faster metabolisms may require more energy to maintain their weight compared to those with slower metabolisms.

Electromagnetic differ in?

They differ in wavelength. This is equivalent to saying that they differ in frequency, because the product of (wavelength) x (frequency) is always the same number ... the speed of the wave.

How does a graph showing speed differ from a graph showing acceleration?

Speed can be shown on a graph of position versus time, and acceleration can be shown on a graph of speed versus time.
