继 Kleiber 等在早期针对哺乳动物得到了3/4幂律之后,Geoffery West 等人又将这一定律的适用范围进一步扩大到了微观生物世界。在2002年的PNAS刊物上的一篇文章《Allometric scaling of metabolic rate from molecules and mitochondria to cells and mammals》中<ref>{{cite journal | last = West | first = Geoffery | date = 2002 | title = Allometric scaling of metabolic rate from molecules and mitochondria to cells and mammals | url = http://www.pnas.org/content/99/suppl.1/2473.full | journal = PNAS| volume = 99| pages = 2473-2478}}</ref>他们指出从完整的生物体,到细胞、线粒体甚至到色素细胞氧化酶分子,在这横跨了27个数量级的上,所有这些生命现象都遵从同一个指数的3/4幂律。如下图所示: | 继 Kleiber 等在早期针对哺乳动物得到了3/4幂律之后,Geoffery West 等人又将这一定律的适用范围进一步扩大到了微观生物世界。在2002年的PNAS刊物上的一篇文章《Allometric scaling of metabolic rate from molecules and mitochondria to cells and mammals》中<ref>{{cite journal | last = West | first = Geoffery | date = 2002 | title = Allometric scaling of metabolic rate from molecules and mitochondria to cells and mammals | url = http://www.pnas.org/content/99/suppl.1/2473.full | journal = PNAS| volume = 99| pages = 2473-2478}}</ref>他们指出从完整的生物体,到细胞、线粒体甚至到色素细胞氧化酶分子,在这横跨了27个数量级的上,所有这些生命现象都遵从同一个指数的3/4幂律。如下图所示: |
