Allen’s rule states that,

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. among closely related endothermic (warm-blooded) vertebrates, those living in colder environments tend to have shorter appendages than those living in warmer environments.
  2. High temperatures are also limiting for many plants and animals
  3. Many organisms cope with heat stress by producing increased amounts of heat shock proteins (HSPs).
  4. Those species in colder, arctic environments have shorter ears than those in temperate or hot desert environments

To evaluate kidney function in a 45-year-old woman with type II diabetes, you ask her to collect her urine over 24 hours. She collects 3600 ml of urine in that period. The clinical laboratory returns the following results after analyzing the patient’s urine and plasma samples: plasma creatinine = 4 mg/dL, urine creatinine = 32 mg/dL, plasma potassium = 5 mmol/L, and urine potassium = 10 mmol/L.
