A rat metabolism experiment was conducted under the following conditions: temperature of 24 C and barometric pressure of 735 mm Hg. The rat weighed 78.5 g and consumed 5 ml of oxygen in 346 seconds. Constants: 4.8 g cal/ml O2; 2.155 cm2/g

a) What would the corrected gross oxygen consumption per minute?

b) Calculate the heat produced by this animal.

c) What would be the surface area of that rat?

d) Calculate the BMR of the rat in the above experiment.

e) Would you expect the BMR of this rat tp ne higher or lower that the BMR of a rat that weighs 126 grams.

Please show work...answering any of the questions would be greatly appreciated...obviously these are a lot of questions and I dont expect all...but as much as possible will help. Thank you.
