The metabolic rate of both a human and a rodent can be determined by their rate of oxygen consumption.

Biology

Alik [6]3 years ago

A Metabolism Chamber will be used to measure oxygen consumption in mice. The cylindrical plexiglass chamber is equipped with a removable cage to which a thermometer is clipped. Once a mouse is sealed in the chamber, it consumes oxygen and exhales carbon dioxide, which is absorbed by soda lime placed in the bottom of the chamber. Therefore, as oxygen is used, the pressure inside the chamber drops, which causes a soap film on the end of a calibrated tube to be drawn toward the chamber. The time required for the soap film to traverse a given distance of the tube is a measure of oxygen consumption rate (mls/sec). Since homeothermic (warm-blooded) animals, on the average, produce 4.8 calories of heat for each ml of oxygen consumed, metabolic rate can be determined from oxygen utilization rate.

So..the answer to your question should be true.

What type of solution is this cell sitting in?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The correct option is A. The cell is sitting in a hypertonic solution.

Explanation:

A hypertonic solution is a solution in which there are more number of solutes present in the solution than inside the cell. The solutes then tend to pass into the cell through diffusion from the solution.

As it can be seen in the diagram, the concentration of salt is more in the solution i.e 40%. Hence, the salt from the solution enters into the cell by diffusion and has a concentration of 10% inside the cell which shows the cell to be placed in a hypertonic environment.
