a) Use your sketching and writing skills to explain the relationship between metabolic rate (M) and body weight (W): M = aWb
b) Based on your answer to question a), generate a new graph to explain how the exponent b in the allometric relationship changes between different groups of animals; and what would happen graphically if M is expressed per gram of body weight: M/W =aW(b-1)
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the amount of energy your body uses to function at rest in a day. This includes the energy required to keep the heart beating, the lungs breathing, the kidneys functioning, and the body temperature stabilized. Approximately 70 percent of an individual’s energy expenditure goes into basal metabolism. The other 30 percent goes into digestion and absorption of nutrients (10%) and physical movement (about 20%).
Calculate your basal metabolic rate in Calories using the appropriate equation here:
Females: BMR = 655 + (9.6 × wt(kg)) + (1.8 × ht(cm)) – (4.7 × age(yrs))
Males: BMR = 66 + (13.7 × wt(kg)) + (5 × ht(cm)) – (6.8 × age(yrs))
Calculate how many Calories you burn overall in a day.

A) Basal Metabolic Rate is linearl proportional to weight B) Basal Metabolic Rate is the amount of energy need to maintain body functions C) Basal Metabolic Rate represents the energy needs of a human at rest D) As size increase Basal Metabolic Rate also increases E) Basal Metabolic Rate can be measured indirectly via oxygen consumptionarrow_forwardWhen the body temperature of ghost crabs is raised from 15°C to 24°C, resting metabolic rate and both increase, but the increase in is much greater than the increase in resting metabolic rate. Given this information, what would be the likely result if ghost crabs in nature experienced conditions that raised their typical body temperature from 15°C to 24°C? Select one: a. Aerobic scope and capacity for aerobic exercise would decrease. b. Aerobic scope would decrease and capacity for aerobic exercise would increase. С. Aerobic scope and capacity for aerobic exercise would increase. d. Aerobic scope would increase and capacity for aerobic exercise would decrease.arrow_forward

The __________ would have thehighest total annual energy expenditure, and the __________would have the highest energy expenditure per unit mass.(A) elephant; mouse(B) elephant; human(C) mouse; snake(D) penguin; mousearrow_forwardAn average adult cheetah has a metabolic mass of 44,010 grams and a resting metabolic rate of 61.77 joules per second. Based on these data, would you characterize the cheetah as an ectotherm or endotherm? Support your answer with evidence from the graph.arrow_forwardThe image shows the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis during cellular respiration within a eukaryotic cell. The reaction shows the conversion of glucose into ATP and heat during eukaryotic cellular respiration. Which of the following is true regarding specialized cellular respiration occurring in newborns and hibernating mammals to maintain body temperature? Additional molecules of glucose are oxidized to generate the additional body heat required for human infants and hibernating mammals. The cellular efficiency of ATP synthesis increases to generate the additional body heat required for human infants and hibernating mammals. The cellular efficiency of the electron transport chain increases to generate the additional body heat required for human infants and hibernating mammals. The electron transport chain and proton gradient efficiency are maintained without ATP synthesis to generate the additional body heat required for human infants and hibernating mammals.arrow_forward
- Predict what would happen to the metabolic rate of the mouse if you increased the temperature. Predict what would happen to the metabolic rate of the mouse if you decreased the temperature (You can make this prediction with text or with lines on your graph). Support your prediction with evidence about endotherms and ectotherms. (Hint: Think about what happens to your body when you get hot or cold.)arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true regarding the metabolism in animals? O Metabolism is the total chemical activity, which is the sum of all anabolic and catabolic processes. O The Anabolic Pathways serve to break down molecules while the Catabolic Pathways synthesize important chemical building blocks. Through respiration, organisms obtain oxygen, whose rate is inversely porportional with the metabolic rate. O Metabolic Rate is not influenced by an organism's body temperature. O Poikilotherm organisms do not have any effect in body temerature when their enviornment temperature changes.arrow_forwardAn average adult cheetah has a mass of 44,010 grams and a metabolic rate of 61.77 joules per second.
