    It was observed that the hamster had a significantly greater carbon dioxide production rate than the cricket on a gram for gram basis. The greater dependence on metabolic activity for thermoregulation by the hamster, which is an endotherm, than ectotherms such as the cricket may explain this difference. Ectotherms regulate their body temperature by using heat generated from their surroundings, while endotherms use a portion of their sustenance as fuel for internal generation of heat. To maintain

    Question 1) The correlation between body mass and metabolic rate that I have seen in this experiment is that, the smaller the organism’s mass, the higher its metabolic rate. In the lab, the mouse that was used to determine metabolic rate, shows the rate of the oxygen consumed, which means, the small mouse that weighed 12.9g consumed 6.65 O2/h/g than a mouse who weighed 42g which only consumed 4.16 O2/h/g. Question 2) When measuring metabolic rate, it shows the rate at which metabolism (chemical

    Background Diabetes is a metabolic disease that is caused by due to defects in insulin secretion, action or both and is characterized by hyperglycemia. If left uncontrolled with proper treatment, diabetes could cause damage, dysfunction, and failure of different organs, especially the eyes (retinopathy), kidneys (nephropathy), nerves (neuropathy), heart, and blood vessels. Hyperglycemia with ketoacidosis or nonketotic hyperosmolar syndrome is the other acute consequences of uncontrolled diabetes
