Question

The data shown on the right arc from the class-wide experiment on mouse metabolism. They are for questions 44-46. What assumptions were made when using the oxygen consumption of the mice to calculate the energy production in Joules? A. The mice were not active. B. The mice were in thermoneutral conditions. C. The type of food the mice were eating. D. The mice were not growing. E. All of the above. What appears to be the lower critical temperature? A. 26 degree C B. 30 degree C C. 35 degree C E. 13 degree C D. 26-30 degree C From these data one can conclude that A. mice are not thermally stressed at 35 degree C. B. Mice prefer warmer room temperatures than humans. C. Metabolism increases at cooler temperatures to keep core body temperature constant. D. Below the lower critical temperature metabolism increases approximately linearly as ambient temperature decreases. E. All of the above.
