    both the LCT and UCT causes the endotherm’s metabolic rate to increase. We can hypothesize that when the temperature falls below the LCT or above the UCT‚ the percent O2 consumption will increase‚ and thus‚ the metabolic rate. The hypothesis was supported by the result received in this lab. The thermal neutral zone (TNZ) of an endotherm is its temperature tolerance range. For the mouse‚ this is about room temperature. It is seen that in the TNZ‚ the metabolic rate decreases from about 1.75 to 1 (Fig

    Introduction: Basal Metabolic Rate has been defined as the minimum amount of energy needed by an animal to maintain the basic functions of survival (such as breathing). Several factors including age‚ gender‚ weight‚ and exercise affect the BMR. "BMR increases with increasing muscle tissue" therefore‚ exercising will enhance BMR while with increasing age‚ BMR is reduced (Scott‚ 2008). Also gender differences exist between males and females; it has been shown that males have higher BMRs
