Sea Otter Metabolics and Thermoregulation Sea Otters (Enhydra lutris) have always intrigued me because they are one of the most recent additions to the marine environment having only been fully aquatic for about 1-3 million years‚ but what really peaked my interest was the fact that they maintain homeostasis as far north as Alaska without blubber in 13-17 degree water‚ and that the metabolic rate that they would have to have must be enormous so I decided to look into what it takes to keep an

where they feel most comfortable. Frank Hopkins‚ a long distance horse rider‚ finds his home after he goes to the other side of the world to compete in The Great Race. Hopkins and Hidalgo go through several challenges over the course of the race that change who Frank Hopkins is as a person. When he returns from competing in The Great Race‚ he uses the money he wins to do good in the world. Frank Hopkins follows a path similar to one of a Greek God or hero quest‚ but what differents him from a

In this critical essay‚ “Repetition‚ race‚ and desire in The Great Gatsby” written by Adam Meehan‚ states that we should look at Gatsby through a lens of cognitive landmarks that are identified in the novel. With psychological criticism‚ Meehan applies modern psychological principles of Lacan to the study of literature and explains how symbols in the literature reflect Gatsby’s desires and ties to his surrounding characters. Meehan points out Gatsby’s desire regarding Lacan’s “fundamental fantasy

Effect of Artificial Sweeteners on Average Metabolic Rate of Goldfish (Carassius Auratus) Introduction Artificial Sweeteners are sweeter than natural sugar‚ replace sugar if someone wants to eat less sugar and have been proven to be safe and even are a healthier option. But also as opposed to natural sugar‚ the energy that artificial sweeteners give a person is less. This is why it will be interesting to study the effect on metabolic rate of goldfish when in fish water that contains artificial sweetener

in ability of a muscle to generate force. It can be a result of strenuous exercise but unusual fatigue may be caused by interference with the different stages of muscle contraction. There are two main causes of muscle fatigue‚ nervous fatigue and metabolic fatigue. Nervous Fatigue Nervous fatigue is the decline in the ability of a nerve to sustain a signal resulting in innervation of the muscle. The muscle’s ability to generate force is most strongly limited by nerve’s ability to sustain a high-frequency

both the LCT and UCT causes the endotherm’s metabolic rate to increase. We can hypothesize that when the temperature falls below the LCT or above the UCT‚ the percent O2 consumption will increase‚ and thus‚ the metabolic rate. The hypothesis was supported by the result received in this lab. The thermal neutral zone (TNZ) of an endotherm is its temperature tolerance range. For the mouse‚ this is about room temperature. It is seen that in the TNZ‚ the metabolic rate decreases from about 1.75 to 1 (Fig

Introduction: Basal Metabolic Rate has been defined as the minimum amount of energy needed by an animal to maintain the basic functions of survival (such as breathing). Several factors including age‚ gender‚ weight‚ and exercise affect the BMR. "BMR increases with increasing muscle tissue" therefore‚ exercising will enhance BMR while with increasing age‚ BMR is reduced (Scott‚ 2008). Also gender differences exist between males and females; it has been shown that males have higher BMRs
