Can I get this rewritten While the surface area of an organism scales as a square of the length (L^2) and the volume of an organism increases as the cube of the length (V^3), basal metabolic rate is not affected by the ratio of surface area to length of an organism.This can be seen in the data extracted from the ADW Quardvaark database as well which showed that mammals had an R^2 value of 0.7258 when looking at their length and basal metabolic rate and an R^2 value of 0.0074 when looking at the length of mammals and their length-specific basal metabolic rate. Birds had an R^2 value of 0.1678 when looking at their length and basal metabolic rate and an R^2 value of 0.0021 when looking at the length and length-specific basal metabolic rate of birds.

A biology student is investigating the claim that the temperature can be predicted by counting cricket chirps. He has collected data and comes up with the linear model T=39.2+0.233r, where T is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and r is the number of chirps per minute. Interpret the slope of the equation. The model predicts a decrease of 0.233 degrees for each increase of 1 chirp per minute. The model predicts a decrease of 39.2 degrees for each increase of 1 chirp per minute. The model predicts an increase of 39.2 degrees for each increase of 1 chirp per minute. The model predicts an increase of 0.233 degrees for each increase of 1 chirp per minute.
According to Kleiber’s law, for the vast majority of animals, an animal’s metabolic rate is proportional to m 0.75, where m is the animal’s mass. When we plot the graph of the common logarithm of the mass on the horizontal axis and the common logarithm of the metabolic rate on the vertical axis, we get a straight line. Explain why the graph is a straight line. What is the slope of the line?
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/distance
What are the key variables in an animal’s metabolic rate? 2.Where does the smell and pH change come from in the digestion of the milk fat?
Discuss why 200kg Pacific halibut and 200kg Dall’s porpoise differ in their mass-specific metabolic rates.
Decribe Brown’s large granivore experiment and what was his hypothesis (Chapter 13)? Why did Brown’s research team create controls by completely fencing study plots and then cutting holes in their sides to allow free passage of rodents into and out of the plot? Why not just compare the density of small rodents in the large granivore removal plots with their densities in the surrounding desert? Why did they look at insectivores and what did the lack of response in insectivores indicate? Why did they repeat their large granivore experiment?
When blue crabs living in full-strength seawater swell duringmolting, they take on the H2O that bloats their bodies from theseawater in which they live. They obtain some of the H2O bydrinking. In addition, data show that the activity of Na+–K+-ATPase in their gills increases as they start to swell duringmolting. This rise in ATPase activity suggests that the gillsincrease active transport of ions from the surrounding seawaterinto the blood of the crabs. How could this process help accountfor uptake of H2O?
Are the two following statements true or false. 1) Is the allometric equation for metabolic rate MR = a * Weight^b? 2) Allometric scaling only occurs across different species NOT within a specis.
When animals oxidize stored fat, they produce metabolic water.Even though the production of metabolic water from stored fatfollows principles of chemical stoichiometry, the net gain of waterthat animals realize from the oxidation of stored fat depends onthe humidity of the atmosphere. Explain why. Does the net gainincrease or decrease as the atmosphere becomes more humid?
Old People e = 100 calories λ = 10 per night h = 2 hours Middle Aged People e = 400 calories λ = 20 per night h = 5 hours Young Adults e = 300 calories λ = 10 per night h = 2.5 hours Suppose that the organism need 1000 calories per night. - Which food item should the organism prefer, and which ones would you expect them to eat on a regular basis? Explain why and show calculations. - Explain marginal value theorem, and how it might relate to an organisms foraging decisions. - λ for Old People should increase in the coming years. How could that affect this organisms feeding on humans?
Calculate the amount of oxygen provided to an aerobic culture, expressed as mg O2/L of culture-hour, if 1.2 liters of air, at STP conditions, is bubbled per minute into a culture broth volume of one liter. Assume that 20% of the oxygen in the bubbled air ends up dissolved in the water, due to mass transfer limitations. Show the calculations you performed to arrive at your answer
a) Use your sketching and writing skills to explain the relationship between metabolic rate (M) and body weight (W): M = aWb b) Based on your answer to question a), generate a new graph to explain how the exponent b in the allometric relationship changes between different groups of animals; and what would happen graphically if M is expressed per gram of body weight: M/W =aW(b-1)
