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

the experimental mouse (treated with PTU) change with temperature.
I will compare the oxygen production of a control mouse (not treated with PTU)
and an experimental mouse (treated with PTU)

a control mouse (not treated with PTU) and an experimental mouse (treated with
PTU)
When 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?

d.
Aerobic scope would increase and capacity for aerobic exercise would decrease.

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.

Birds had an R^2 value of 0.1678 when looking at their length and basal metabolic rate and an R^2 value of 0.0021 when looking at the length and length-specific basal metabolic rate of birds.arrow_forward
