Study of Oxygen Consumption to Measure Energy Metabolism in Mammals Brianne Simonsen Lab Section 8 4 Oct. 2005 Abstract In this experiment the oxygen consumption of a mouse in environments of varying temperatures was studied. The hypothesis behind this experiment was that more oxygen would be consumed at a lower temperature to maintain body heat. To measure the rate of oxygen consumption a mouse was given a specific amount of oxygen. The amount consumed in a specific time was measured and

If we continue to use energy at such high rates‚ reserves of non-renewable energy may run out really soon. In order to prevent this people must make small changes by using less energy in their daily lives. Even the smallest action can have an impact on the rest of

molecules will gain kinetic energy allowing them to move a lot more frequently. Enzymes begin a reaction when they randomly collide with the substrate molecule‚ this is where the enzyme will react upon. The speed and frequency of these collisions is dependent on the temperature‚ so an increase in temperature will effectively increase the rate of reaction and allow more products to be made. Consequently‚ an increase in the temperature will make the vibrational energy that each of the molecules to

It doesn’t take up a lot space and give superb energy. The sun is one of the most reliable energy sources on this planet. This is because the sun has been predicted to stay “alive” for many million years to come. It’s radiation also does not fluctuate from day to day like other sources of energy. Solar energy is most
