The Metabolic Rate of Organisms

The metabolic rate of an organism is usually defined as the energy that is metabolized by food or oxygen intake per unit time. The metabolic rate of organisms plays an important role in the maintenance of specific biological processes and the overall organism. There are many ways to measure metabolic rate, but the most common way is to measure the amount of oxygen produced without anaerobic metabolism. It can be assumed that the metabolic rate increases with body weight.

Ambient temperature affects the metabolic rate of organisms, so it is an important factor in explaining biodistribution. Only very few organisms can maintain active metabolic activity at very high or very low temperatures. In order to survive certain organisms in an environment where the temperature range is not suitable for most organisms, special adjustment has to be made. In ecology, niche is the state of living things in the familiar environment and the community. It can also be defined as how an organism interacts with the environment, so it is closely related to environmental tolerance curves. It also has actions (this type of movement can be swimming, flighting or running) and environmental aspects (eg temperature and salinity limitations).

Earthworms are simple creatures that rely on ambient temperature to determine their internal temperature and metabolic rate. Since experiment is sensitive and inexpensive, it is an excellent creature used in this experiment. They are very small creatures, so they respond quickly to changes in the environment and temperature. The results showed that metabolic rate increased with temperature. However, growth in the 10th quarter is not consistent, and this trend is not linear. room Because the maximum speed can be reached at room temperature, the speed does not rise so much even with slight temperature rise. In addition, higher temperatures indicate a significant increase in rate as more reaction occurs since higher temperatures exceed the optimum temperature and the substrate collides more frequently with the enzyme.

Based on the results of this experiment it was shown that the metabolic rate of the two organisms decreases as the temperature of the external environment rises. It has also been shown that crayfish has higher metabolic rate than mouse. My hypothesis is totally inaccurate, and crayfish says it has lower metabolic rate than mouse. The slope of crayfish linear regression is negative, I think it is positive. I think that the metabolic rate of the endothermic agent remains stable and that they will only fluctuate a small amount. I believe there are many mistakes in this experiment. Because many facts on this subject show that if crayfish metabolism rate should increase if exposed to higher ambient temperature. "When you warm body temperature, the level of metabolic activity rises" (Campbells, p. 899). My results show that as temperature increases the metabolism increases
