Description
use the data collected to measure metabolic rate and record in the following table
1.
Mass of rodent (g):
2.
Surface area of rodent in square meters (m2):
3.
Average time to consume 2 ml of oxygen from Table 7.3 (sec):
4.
Oxygen consumption by the rodent (l/hr):
Calculation = 2ml/45.67 multiplied by 3600/1000
5.
Calculated oxygen consumption of the rodent (l/hr/m2):
Calculation = .1576/.0139
6.
Calculated metabolic rate of rodent (Cal/hr/m2):
Calculation = 11.34 X 4.8
