Cover Story: Organisms with small cells often have a greater mass-specific metabolic rate (‘fire of life’) than organisms with large cells do. Cell size may also affect how metabolic rate covaries with other organismal properties, such as age, growth rate and body size. These metabolic correlates of cell size appear to be linked to geometric limits on the supply of resources (e.g., O2 and nutrients) to cells and tissues, as well as to the resource demand of cells and tissues, which varies with cell-size-related cell and body composition and rates of cell multiplication and whole-body growth. In short, cell size may importantly mediate the rate of living and its scaling with body size. Therefore, a focus on cellular geometry may help unify studies of metabolic scaling and ontogenetic development. View this paper
