Examine the metabolic rates of two different organisms (A and B) that were placed in three different temperatures. Environmental temperature 1 °C 25 °C 35 °C Organism A 0.124 mlO2/hr/g 0.265 mlO2/hr/g 0.325 mlO2/hr/g Organism B 0.635 mlO2/hr/g 0.511 mlO2/hr/g 0.169 mlO2/hr/g

Explain A) how core body temperature is related to metabolic rate in animals. B) How do endotherms and ectotherms differ in regards to body temperature and metabolic rate? Consider an iguana (reptile) and an opossum (mammal) of the same size and weight that live in the same environment. C) How will metabolic rate and thermoregulation compare between these two animals? D) How will differences in metabolic rate and thermoregulation affect the behavior of these two animals in their habitat? (Activity levels, food consumption, etc…) Finally, E) describe an advantage and a disadvantage to the strategy of each animal in its environment. In your answer, be specific, and be sure to use scientific terminology you have learned in this course.

Calculate the resting metabolic rates of the following two subjects in both absolute (L/min) and relative (ml/kg/min) VO2 and also in terms of RDEE (kcal/day). Subject A: weight: 60 kg; VE (ATPS): 4.0 L/min; FEO2: 16.5 %; FECO2: 3.4 % Room temperature: 27°C; Barometric pressure: 757 mmHg Subject B: weight: 80 kg; VE (ATPS): 4.3 L/min; FEO2: 15.3 %; FECO2: 3.8% Room temperature: 23°C; Barometric pressure: 754 mmHg
