Question
Chapter 59.3, Problem 2EQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The purpose of increasing the level of carbon dioxide in only half of the chambers and not in all chambers during the experiment.
Introduction: Peter Stiling and Bert Drake performed various experiments to increase the level of carbon dioxide around the patches of forest in Kennedy Space Center in Florida. They carried out these experiments for observing the response of forest ecosystem to elevated level of carbon dioxide.

Exercise 4.
(Rabbits vs. Foxes) The Lotka-Volterra predator
prey model is given by the system R = aR – bRF, F = -cF + dRF, with parameters
a, b, c, d > 0 and R(t) population of rabbits in time, and F(t) population of foxes in time.
a) Discuss the biological meaning of each term in the equations and comment on any
unrealistic assumptions.
b) show that the model can be rewritten (adimensionalization) as i= ¤(1 – y), ý =
py(I – 1).
c) Find a conserved quantity in terms of the dimansionless variables in (b).
d) Show that the model predicts cycles in the population of both species for almost all
initial conditions.
What strategy would best measure the influence of temperature and PTU on oxygen
consumption?
OI will compare how the weights of the control mouse (not treated with PTU) and
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)

- Describe two ways in which you can use the Biopac tools to determine IRV.arrow_forwardBackground information: A static respirometer can be used to measure metabolic rates of small aquatic organisms such as fish and crayfish. The animal is weighed and placed in the chamber. The chamber is then filled completely with water and sealed, and the dissolved oxygen level in the water is measured for 30 – 60 minutes. The animal is then removed and the respirometer is rinsed before being filled with clean water for the next trial. Metabolic rates can be calculated knowing the oxygen consumption rate, the volume of the chamber, and the weight of the animal. The picture shows a typical static respirometer. The probes on the lid measure dissolved oxygen and temperature and are linked to a computer for data collection. When using a static respirometer, the usual procedure calls for filling the chamber completely with water and making sure there is no air left at the top of the chamber when it is sealed. Why is this important, i.e., how would trapped air influence the metabolic…arrow_forwardBackground information: A static respirometer can be used to measure metabolic rates of small aquatic organisms such as fish and crayfish.
