There are striking similarities in the way plants and animals take up and use energy (metabolism), despite enormous variation in size and life-style. This project will make the first experimental comparison of the predictions of the two major theories for these broad patterns. The results will significantly progress this controversial and exciting field.

植物和动物吸收和使用能量（新陈代谢）的方式有惊人的相似之处，尽管它们在大小和生活方式上存在巨大差异。该项目将对这两个主要理论对这些广泛模式的预测进行首次实验比较。这些结果将大大推动这一有争议和令人兴奋的领域。
