Yes. Apart from the obvious size difference, there are others. Throughout childhood and into adulthood, the body is continually developing. Children have more bones, but as they grow, some these bones join together to become single bones. There are changes in particular during puberty which cause changes to the body. We gain some abilities and lose others as the bodies change. Muscles develop to make us stronger. Skin changes. Lots of things change, so the adult body is definitely different to the body of a child.

Why is the adult respiratory rate lower than an infant's respiratory rate?

Infants have smaller lungs, and although they also have smaller bodies, the smaller lungs must work faster to exchange the amount of gasses, i.e. O2 and CO2, the same way their hearts beat faster than an adult's to pump the amount of blood they need because of it's small size.


Can you describe metamorphosis in sponges?

Metamorphosis in sponges refers to the process where a free-swimming larva settles on a substrate and undergoes transformation into the adult sponge. During metamorphosis, the larva attaches itself to a surface, loses its cilia, and undergoes structural changes to develop into the adult sponge body plan. This process is essential for the larvae to transition from a planktonic stage to a sessile adult form.
