Question

Problem 1: How many grams is your animal? 2100 g C. Divide the number of letters in your name by 3. a. If the remainder is zero, your animal is a placental mammal. b. If the remainder is 1, your animal is a marsupial mammal. c. If the remainder is 2, your animal is a bird. What kind of animal will you be working with? 14 letters/3 has a remainder of 2, working with a bird D. Consult the internet and find a real animal that fits the criteria you have established. What is your animal? Large raven E. What is the equation for the basal metabolic rate of your animal? 55(M^0.73) = basal metabolic rate F. What is the basal metabolic rate of your animal? 55(2100 g^0.73) = 14641 J/hour G. How many hours each day is spent at AMR, RMR, and MMR for your animal? Bird in flight is at MMR: 12 hours a day RMR: 12 hours a day AMR: 0 hours a day H. What is the daily metabolic rate for your animal? MMR = 55(M^1) = 55(2100 g) = 115,500 J/hour (12 hours in MMR per day) = 1386 kJ per day at MMR RMR = 1.1(BMR) = 1.1(14,641 J/hour) = 16,105 J/hour (12 hours in RMR per day) = 193 kJ per day at RMR 193 kJ/day + 1386 kJ/day = 1579 kJ/day Problem 2. A. Using the same mass as you used in Problem 1, now find a lizard, snake, fish, or turtle with that body mass. What is your new animal? Large rainbow trout, 2100 g B. What is the standard metabolic rate of your animal? C. What is a plausible daytime temperature for your animal in degrees Celsius? D. What is the difference between this temperature and 20C? E. Assume a Q10 of 2.5. What is the metabolic rate of your animal at this temperature? F. What is a plausible nighttime temperature for your animal? G. What is the difference between this temperature and 20C? H. Assume a Q10 of 2.5. What is the metabolic rate of your animal at this temperature? I. Assume a 12-hour day. What is the daily metabolic rate of your animal? J. How many times larger is the metabolic rate of your animal from problem 1 than from this problem?

Problem 1: How many grams is your animal?
2100 g

C. Divide the number of letters in your name by 3.
a. If the remainder is zero, your animal is a placental mammal.
b. If the remainder is 1, your animal is a marsupial mammal.
c. If the remainder is 2, your animal is a bird.

What kind of animal will you be working with?
14 letters/3 has a remainder of 2, working with a bird

D. Consult the internet and find a real animal that fits the criteria you have established.
What is your animal?
Large raven

E. What is the equation for the basal metabolic rate of your animal?
55(M^0.73) = basal metabolic rate

F. What is the basal metabolic rate of your animal?
55(2100 g^0.73) = 14641 J/hour

G. How many hours each day is spent at AMR, RMR, and MMR for your animal?
Bird in flight is at MMR: 12 hours a day
RMR: 12 hours a day
AMR: 0 hours a day

H. What is the daily metabolic rate for your animal?
MMR = 55(M^1) = 55(2100 g) = 115,500 J/hour (12 hours in MMR per day) = 1386 kJ per day at MMR
RMR = 1.1(BMR) = 1.1(14,641 J/hour) = 16,105 J/hour (12 hours in RMR per day) = 193 kJ per day at RMR
193 kJ/day + 1386 kJ/day = 1579 kJ/day
