the specific brain mass is the brain mass divided by the body mass. if body mass increases, does the specific brain mass increase or decrease?



Answer :

The specific brain mass: decreases if body mass increases.

Due to the specific brain mass is the ratio of brain mass to body mass is inversely proportional when the body mass increases, the specific brain mass decreases.

If we calculate the specific brain mass of a person with a brain mass of 2 kg and a body mass of 50 kg and then with a body mass of 60 kg we have:

specific brain mass (50 kg) = 2 kg/50 kg = 0.04

specific brain mass (60 kg) = 2 kg/60 kg = 0.03

We can state that the specific brain mass decreases if the body mass increases.
