    a low water temperature a fish slows down and so do its metabolic activities and when water temperatures are high‚ fish speed up and their metabolic processes increase as well. Proteins and enzymes are also affected by temperature changes. Oxygen is essential for the production of ATP from nutrients in cells; consequently oxygen must be delivered to a cell in sufficient amounts. Within fish‚ the counter-current exchange system allows for the efficient extraction of oxygen from the water by the gills

    Jane Doe Bio Lab IT: Morgan Billick September 4th‚ 2010 Ventilation and Oxygen Consumption Results Oxygen Concentration Oxygen concentration in water can be altered by the conditions it is exposed to. For instance cold water has a higher oxygen concentration than warm water. In our experiment we were able to observe the change in oxygen concentration of water at two different temperatures (15C and 25C) with a fish in each environment. Our results proved that the starting oxygen concentration

    Ventilation and Oxygen Consumption in Fish Sally Ming Bio 102- PR# 2 12/12/12 Abstract Goldfish (Carassius Autarus)‚ when subjected to warm temperatures will have a high rate of ventilation compared to those exposed in colder environment. In a class experiment‚ we observed and recorded the effects of water temperature at [25 C] warm and [15 C] cold on ventilation and consumption rates in goldfish. For one hour at 15min intervals we observed differences in both ventilation and consumption

    goal of this study was to measure the oxygen consumption of goldfish in an ambient environment and dark environment and calculate if there was any difference in metabolism based on oxygen consumption. The experimental hypothesis was that the metabolic rate of the goldfish as measured by oxygen consumption differs in a dark environment than in an ambient environment. The null hypothesis was that the metabolic rate of the gold fish as measured by oxygen consumption does not differ in darkness versus ambient

    102 Lab Report: Ventilation and Oxygen Consumption in Fish Methods: The lab consists of two experiments repeated over a period one hour with fifteen minutes interval‚ in order to determine the effect of weight and temperature on ventilation and oxygen consumption of Carassius auratus‚ commonly known as goldfish. Each experiment was carried out by five groups. Measurement of ventilation was determined by recording operculum movement of the fish. Oxygen consumption was measured using oxygen probes

    Abstract: Maximal oxygen consumption (VO₂max) is an excellent indicator of a person’s physical fitness level. It can also be used for many other things including diagnostic tools for physicians. In this study‚ two different methods of collecting maximal oxygen uptake scores were compared. The first being the predicted VO₂max score attained via the Rockport test and the second being indirect calorimetry VO₂max score attained through cycle ergometer and an attached metabolic cart. Ten males and nine

    muscles‚ the muscles that increase the rate of ventilation receives the nerve impulses. Through anaerobic or aerobic respiration‚ ATP‚ which acts as an energy source‚ is generated. Intensity of exercise is closely related with the respiratory. Respiration increases during exercise due to the metabolic requirements of the activated muscles. This is to allow the exchange of oxygen and CO2 in lungs. As seen Fig. 1‚ there is a steep increase in ventilation at the starting point of exercise. This occurs

    by the college and procedures were followed as per the lab manual. The independent variable in this experiment was temperature as it was the effects of temperature that was being measured. The dependent variable were ventilation rates and oxygen consumption as they were being measured. There were 10 fish per treatment level. There were two treatment levels‚ 25  C and 15 C. Ten fish tanks per treatment level were set up‚ the first group of fish tank were filled with spring water and kept at room temperature

    VENTILATION QSB 1714 Prepared by: Mariatul Liza bt Meor Gheda Introduction  Definition:  The process of changing air in an enclosed space.  A proportion of air within the enclosed space should be continuously withdrawn and replaced by fresh air.  Drawn in from a clean external source: • At as high an elevation as practical…where more polluted air occurs at the relatively low levels found in congested towns and cities. Why do we need ventilation? Ventilation is needed

    Function Jeremiah Schmidt - 17456597 ------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION The aim of practical 3 under the respiratory control subsection was to investigate the effects that hyperventilation and rebreathing have on ventilation rate and breaking point and to observe the effect of carbon dioxide (CO2) on water pH (School of Science and Health 2012). The results from respiration rate and breaking point were then compared to the different sexes and further with those whom
