Metabolic rate refers to the “amount of oxygen consumed by the body cells” (Farlex‚ n.d.). it can be affected by numerous factors‚ some of which being the mass of the animal‚ its physical activity and temperature. Invertebrates are able to live in highly variable conditions due to their metabolism having evolved over time. Homeotherms are animals that are able to maintain a specific body temperature without relying on the temperature from its surroundings. Poikilotherms on the other hand do the exact

Question: Which container will retain internal heat the longest? More specifically‚ which container will cool the fastest and which will keep the highest temperature for the longest amount of time? Hypothesis: My hypothesis is that the metal insulated mug with the lid will retain the highest temperature for the longest amount of time. Likewise‚ the mug that will lose heat the fastest will be the plastic mug with no lid. Independent Variable: The variable that was purposely changed was the amount

understand their metabolic process at various temperatures. Other studies show that although poikilotherms are viable at varying temperatures some organisms like the salmon still struggle to survive or succeed as temperature fluctuate (Brett 1971). The fish loses energy and at different stages of their life‚ they have different temperature tolerances that ultimately regulate the fish species overall population and success (Bisson and Davis 1976).

quickly. I wondered which fruit decomposes the fastest. Id ecided to compare a banana‚ pear‚ apple‚ strawberry‚ and orange. I gathered my materials: 1 of each fruit‚ 5 see-through disposable plastic containers‚ and my camera (so I could take pictures of the fruits). My hypothesis was that the strawberry would rot first‚ followed by the banana‚ then the pear‚ and then the apple. I didn’t think the orange would even rot at all. I thought the strawberry would decompose the fastest because it doesn’t

What Type of Bread Molds the Fastest? Bread has been part of the human diet for thousands of years. Generally‚ breads were prepared and baked daily for consumption. Today’s bread contains preservatives to make it last longer in the home. This project is about discovering what type of bread molds the fastest out of white‚ wheat‚ rye‚ and homemade. To do this experiment a total of four types of bread were observed in the same environment. A photo of each slice of bread was taken every other day. A

In this paper‚ I will be discussing the normal physiology of the basal ganglia‚ or basal nuclei‚ how the different structures within are involved with motor functions‚ and how dysfunctions within the basal ganglia lead to movement disorders. The basal ganglia are a group of interconnected subcortical structures composed primarily of the striatum‚ pallidum‚ substantia nigra‚ and the subthalamic nucleus. These structures span across the diencephalon‚ telencephalon‚ and the midbrain‚ and lie under

They wanted instant change‚ granting full rights to the freed men which the southern slave culture despises. 3. What is the Freedman’s Bureau? What did it do? The Freedmans Bureau is Americas first major relief organization. It was responsible for the general welfare of newly freed slaves‚ including creating schools

Rats are various medium sized rodents. "True rats" are members of the genus Rattus‚ the most important of which to humans are the black rat‚ Rattus rattus‚ and the brown rat‚ R. norvegicus. Many members of other rodent genera and families are also called rats and share many characteristics with true rats. A rat has an average life span of 2-3 years[1]. Rats are distinguished from mice by their size; rats generally have bodies longer than 12 cm (5 in). Contents [hide] * 1 Species and description

knowing there weren’t rats lurking in your walls? Rats create many problems in the world and I believe we should eliminate all rats. One reason rats need to be eliminated is they spread diseases. According to CDC (Centers for Disease Control) rats spread hemmoragic fever‚ Lassa fever‚ Leptospinosis‚ and many more. Having rats running around infected with possibly fatal diseases is far too dangerous. To emphasize the deadly effect rats have‚ we can look at the Black Plague‚ in which millions of people
