Chapter 56, Problem 1.4A
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Relationship between oxygen consumption and metabolic rate.
Introduction:
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is a measurement of the minimal amount of energy needed to maintain vital bodily functions. In humans, BMR can be measured when a person is in a relaxed and awake state, reclined in a dark room at a comfortable temperature, having had nothing to eat for 12-14 hours, after a restful night’s sleep, and having had no exercise for at least one hour. To get a measure of
Calculation of metabolic rate:
Oxygen consumption per minute: Convert seconds to minutes by dividing by 60 and then divide 10 mL by the time in minutes.
Oxygen consumption rate: {(O2 mL per min) × (60 min/hr)} / animal weight = O2 mL/g/hr
Metabolic rate: The factor 0.004825 converts mL O2 into kcal of energy produced, the factor 1000 converts grams (g) to kilograms (kg).
O2 mL/g/hr × 0.004825 kcal/mL × 1000 g/kg = kcal/kg/hr

Consider the reactants and products of cellular respiration, what do you think are three good ways to assess the rate of cellular respirations, i.e., what can you measure as a proxy for respiration rate?
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)

- A radiolabeled glucose solution is utilized as a nutrient source for a human myocyte in order to investigate the metabolic response under several conditions. This system was subjected to different conditions, and the CO₂(g) emitted is captured using carbon sequestration apparatus. The radioactivity of the sequestered gas is then measured. The following are the conditions (a to d). Arrange them in terms of expected radioactivity of the captured gas noting that higher radioactivity corresponds to increased concentration of CO2(g). Unless otherwise stated, all of these conditions are at room temperature.
