Document Summary

Have an animal that"s not in a respirometer. Want to be able to feed it specific amounts of food. So you know how much energy it takes in, then you check how much energy is lost in the feces. Bomb calorimeter can be used to find the energy by completely combusting the feces and measure the heat produced. Used to measure metabolic rate over a number of days. Don"t need an animal to be enclosed. D is going to get into the water pool in the body, radioactive o2 gets into both o2 and co2. Radioactive levels increase in blood, then you get some d loss, and that"s the water loss. The o18 loss is more rapid bc its lost in water and co2. One way to get rid of d and 2 ways to have loss of o18. At any time on the 2 curves, the difference between them will reflect the co2 loss.
