Unit 2 - KA3 - Metabolic Rate Flashcards
The top chambers of the heart which receive blood entering a vertebrate heart
Atria
Double circulatory system which completely separates oxygenated and deoxygenated blood (Birds & Mammals)
Complete Double Circulatory System
When the blood flows around the body it passes through the heart twice
Double Circulatory System
Double circulatory system where oxygenated and deoxygenated blood are not completely separate Amphibians & Reptiles)
Incomplete Double Circulatory System
The rate of energy consumption in an organism
Metabolic Rate
During a full circulation of the of the body, blood passes through the heart once
Single Circulatory System
Lower chamber of a vertebrate heart that distributes blood.
Ventricle
One method by which metabolic rate can be measured
Oxygen Consumption
Another method by which metabolic rate can be measured
Heat production
Found in vertebrates, require large quantities of oxygen and efficient gas exchange systems
High metabolic rate
Equipment to measure heat given off during metabolic processes
Calorimeter
Two measurements made by a respirometer
Oxygen consumption / CO2 production
