Question
Chapter 40.4, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The changes in the metabolic rate in an alligator and a lion resting in a zoo, when at night the air temperature lowers down.
Concept introduction:
Thermoregulation is an ability of an organism to maintain its body temperature. Animals are categorized into two types based on their thermoregulation mode: ectotherms and endotherms. Ectotherms are animals that get warmed by external sources, whereas endotherms maintain their body temperature based on internal

WHAT IF? If a zoo animal eating ample food showssigns of malnutrition, how might a researcher determinewhich nutrient is lacking in its diet?
3. For a hypothetical animal that has a mass of 700 kg, (a) estimate the basal metabolism rate. (b) Assuming 5 kcal/g of food, estimate the minimum amount needed each day.
Q)Starting as a lipid in some holiday prime rib, trace the path that energy and biomass make as that lipid is consumed by a college freshman, transported to a cell in the liver and converted into a carbohydrate, and finally as that carbohydrate is burned for energy in a cell in the cells of the shoulder muscles. Following your diagram/model, provide a written explanation for what you diagram/model depicts. Make sure both your model and explanation are clear, concise, and have the appropriate level of detail to clearly demonstrate you understand cellular respiration and the movement of mass and energy in animals.
