Lab #10 part BIn order for chemical reactions to occur: • Molecules must collide - • They collide w/ a certain impact
In order for chemical reactions to occur: • The greater their kinetic energy… • The greater their force of collision
The greater the kinetic energy… the greater the force of collision
leads to an increase in collisions… Increase in temperature …
Living organisms need the proper temperature for proper amount of collisions
Living organisms have a temp. dilemma: • Must have increased temperature for proper molecular collisions
Temperatures too high (about 40oC or higher) • May denature proteins and ultimately kill an individual
Evolution has solved this problem: • 1) Enzymes
Evolution has solved this problem: • 2) Behavioral, morphological and physiological traits designed to maintain a warm body…
Ectotherm vs. Endotherm Rapid Metabolism produces much heat… Metabolism is soooooo slow, their bodies produce little heat… every animal besides a bird or mammal
What is the ADVANTAGES of ectothermy??? require very little energy… b/c their metabolism is soooo slow. do not have enough energy for sustained exertion. do not have to eat as often.
How does a terrestrial endotherm thermo regulate? Insulating fat, feathers, or fur Maximize blood flow
What is the ADVANTAGES of endothermy??? elevated, constant body temperature, despite changes in environment maximize metabolic rate. can live in colder climates... HOWEVER, must have a constant food supply!!
Circulationquick review • Water flows over gills as fish swims • Gills are made of thousands of gill filaments • Fish, open their mouths, and H2O flows over the gills
Circulationquick review • Deoxygenated blood flows into the gills • Oxygen flows from the water into the gills and is picked up by the blood. • It goes to the rest of the body.

The lab examines the relationship between metabolic rate & body temp. in ectotherms
We will measure the heart rate (indirectly) to measure metabolism • The rate of metabolism in ectothermic animals increases as the environmental temperature increases • This rise occurs because the reactants in the cell have greater thermal energy, and many cellular enzymes are more active as temperature increases.
What is the effect on a 10oC rise in temperature? • The relationship between temperature changes & metabolic rate is often measured as Q10. • If the metabolic rate doubles with a 10°C increase in temperature, then Q10 = 2.
What is the effect on a 10oC rise in temperature? • Simply choose two points on the graph that are 10 degrees apart, • Determine their respective rates, • and find their quotient.
What is the effect on a 10oC rise in temperature? • The usefulness of calculating a Q10 value is that it suggests whether or not the metabolic reactions being examined are controlled by temperature or by some other factor. IF Q10 IS NOT 2 (aprx.) SOMETHING BESIDES TEMP. IS AFFECTING THE RATE!
If the Q10 = 3… then for every 10oC increase in temp / metabolic rate would TRIPLE • Q10 measures the increase in metabolic activity resulting from an increase in body temperature.
You can measure Q10 indirectly, by measuring heart rate beats min.
(higher temp.) Rate at temperature “X” + 10oC Q10 = Rate at temperature “X” (lower temp)
Q10 is the ratio of the rate of a reaction at one temperature divided by the rate of the same reaction at a temperature 10 C° less. The larger the Q10 the greater the effect the temperature has on the reaction. A value of Q10 = 1 implies temperature has no effect on the reaction.
