Document Summary
Biol 373l study questions experiment 5: bmr change with animal size. Without considering bmr per gram, the rate is expected to increase as the size increases. If bmr per gram is taken into account, then the rate will increase as size decreases: define bmr. The amount of energy that is expended daily while at rest to keep vital functions working: o2 consumption = co2 production. Ratio of co2 and o2 varies with composition of the diet. This ratio is known as the respiratory quotient: hcg for pregnancy indication. It is a good substance to use because it is secreted right at pregnancy and peaks around the ninth week of pregnancy. It can be found in urine so it makes it easy to test for pregnancy: false positive pregnancy test. Hcg and lh are both glycoproteins (look similar) If there is enough lh in the urine, you may get a false positive on the pregnancy test: pregnancy test for later term.
