A 22g field mouse consumed 5g of mouse chow that had an energy content of 2Cal/g in 24hours and during that time produced urine and feces with an energy content of 6Cal. a. What was the amount of energy that the mouse used that day? b. What is the field mouse’ mass specific metabolic rate in J/g*hr? c. If the mouse gained a gram of body mass over that same day would the metabolic rate calculated be an underestimation or overestimation? Why?
