Procedure
Calculate the average metabolic rate for the three frogs at each of the
two temperatures.
Put a dot on the graph in Figure 8.11 for each of the average values.
Draw a line between those two dots.
Write the word ectotherm on the line.
An 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.
Calculate the resting metabolic rate in units of kcal day-1
kg body-1 for a 60 kg nonathletic male and a 160 kg
nonathletic male.

- In a Bio lab you determine that the cost of transport for two fish from different species is 1 kJ/km for fish one, and 10 kJ/km for fish two. Provide an estimate of the swimming speed of each fish assuming that a) both fish have the same metabolic rate; b) fish two has a metabolic rate 10 times higher than the metabolic rate of fish one; and c) fish one has a metabolic rate that is 100 times smaller than the metabolic rate of fish two. Note that the ratio of metabolic rate to speed defines the cost of transport in units of energy/distancearrow_forwardIf Blue Whales each require 1,000kg of Krill per day to survive, and Krill have an energy density of 4,600 kJ/kg. How much of the energy contained in each kg of Krill eaten by a Blue Whale is available to the Killer Whale that feeds on a Blue Whale? (Provide an exact figure, not a percentage.)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

- When hunting disrupts balance in the food chain by removing all owls, there will be no predators on snakes, leading to their increase in numbers. Considering the scenario where the number of lost owls (4) is replaced by snakes, compute for energy units following the table in no. 1 (Sun + E = 6) and answer the following questions: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_forwardIf Blue Whales each require 1,000kg of Krill per day to survive, and Krill have an energy density of 4,600 kJ/kg.
