energetics of activity

Question 1

energy budget measurement

Answer 1

a method of measuring aerobic activity by characterizing an animals activities and the cost of those activities and then observing the animal to calculate an energy budget

Question 2

doubly labeled water measurement

Answer 2

a method of measuring aerobic activitywhere isotopes of H and O2 are in the water and H2 18O is lost through water and respiration while D2O is only lost through water so the difference in D and 18O= field metabolic rate; must be measured on a 24 hour basis

Question 3

cost of transport

Answer 3

energy cost per unit of distance at a particular speed; energy/distance=(energy/time)/(distance/time); swimming is the cheapest while walking is the most expensive

Question 4

cost of drag

Answer 4

shape of organisms is so specialized for their locomotion that any small edition can create significant effects

Question 5

influences on maximum oxygen consumption

Answer 5

circulatory system and symmorphosis

Question 6

symmomorphosis

Answer 6

all organ systems with common functions develop approximately the same limits, multiple organs reach max oxygen consumption simultaneously

Question 7

aerobic scope

Answer 7

MMR/BMR; how far an organism can rise above their BMR
