Introduction:
(please post an introduction to the lab, include what you will be doing for each activity)
Activity 1: Determining Baseline Metabolic Rates

Questions: answer each question; use full sentences; ask instructor if you need help 1-1: Which rat had the fastest baseline metabolic rate? Normal Rat
1-2: Why did the metabolic rates differ? The hypophysectomized rat lacked thyroid-stimulating hormone. The thyroidectomized rat lacked thyroxine hormone.
Summary:
In this Activity, I learned/observed that: write 1-2 sentences on what you observed by doing this experiment – think “big picture”
Activity 2: Determining the Effect of Thyroxine on Metabolic Rate
Data:
Fill in Chart 1
Questions: answer each question; use full sentences; ask instructor if you need help 2-1: What was the effect of thyroxine on the normal rat's...
