    8.1 The totality of an organism’s chemical reactions is called metabolism. Metabolism is an emergent property of life that arises from interactions between molecules within the orderly environment of the cell. a. The chemistry of life is organized into metabolic pathways Metabolic pathways begin with a specific molecule‚ which is then altered in a series of defined steps to form a specific product. A specific enzyme catalyzes each step of the pathway. Catabolic pathways release energy by

    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
