Why is the life cycle of human beings much longer than the life cycle of other animals?
Answers
Answer:
Differences among species in the basic life cycle often reflect adaptations for surviving and producing offspring under different ecological conditions. For example, some plant species live in habitats in which they are able to grow, mature, and reproduce in a single growing season.

Answer:
Lifespan is usually related to animal size
Scientists worked out a long time ago that the lifespan of animals is mostly related to their size. Bigger animals usually live longer than smaller animals.
The main reason people used to think big animals live longer is because of something called metabolic rates. A metabolic rate is like how much petrol a car uses - cars that use up their petrol more slowly can drive for longer, a bit like animals with lower metabolic rates. Smaller animals usually have higher metabolic rates, which lead to shorter lifespans, like a car that uses up its petrol very quickly.
