The metabolic rate of a 2-year-old is generally higher than that of an adult on a per-kilogram basis. This is because young children require more energy relative to their body size to support rapid growth and development. In contrast, adults have a lower metabolic rate as their growth has stabilized, and their energy needs are primarily focused on maintenance and daily activities. Overall, the metabolic rate decreases with age, with children exhibiting higher rates in their early years.
The metabolic rate does change with the development of an animal from a zygote to adult because of the development of the organs. As growth occurs the organs fully develop.
An adult is 2x the size of a baby.
Oxazolindinediones are appropriate for pediatric and adult patients.
Yes, kittens typically have larger bellies compared to adult cats due to their rapid growth and development.
Metabolic Syndrome is a disorder that elevates the risk for heart disease and diabetes. People with this syndrome have hypertension, insulin resistance, blood clots and excessive fat around their waist. Physicians treat this constellation of symptoms with lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise. If these measures fail, the physician will prescribe antihypertensive agents, cholesterol medications and anti-diabetes drugs. Some of these patients also have abnormally low growth hormone levels and are diagnosed with adult growth hormone deficiency. Some patients are treated with human growth hormones.
Adult Down syndrome patients do have a right to autonomy. The exception is if the court has appointed a legal guardian for them.
The salaries for pediatric oncologists are typically lower than those of adult oncologists for a number of reasons. First, there are far fewer pediatric oncologists in private practice compared to adult oncologists. This has to do with the fact that there are far fewer pediatric oncology patients compared to adult oncology patients. As such, most pediatric oncologists are affiliated with and/or employed by an academic medical center. Depending on your role (clinical vs research) and your position (non-tenure track, assistant vs. assoc. vs. full professor), your salary will vary. Most of the entry salaries for the people I know coming out of fellowship are between $125-150k a year.
The rate is twice as high as the adult rate.
For the average American adult, stored as fat! Americans have a very large percentage of body fat and this is energy that is just waiting to be burned!

Adult gametophytes primarily obtain food through photosynthesis, a metabolic process where they convert light energy into chemical energy. They possess chlorophyll and other pigments that allow them to capture sunlight, facilitating the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. In some cases, gametophytes may also absorb nutrients directly from their surrounding environment, especially in non-photosynthetic species. Overall, photosynthesis is the key metabolic process for food acquisition in most adult gametophytes.
