If you wanted to measure these animals (the mouse and the insect)and get a similar mass specific metabolic rate for both species, at about what ambient temperaturewould you have to use for the ectotherm? Explain your response.
Mass Specific of O2 Cosumption(mlO2*min-1*g-1)
Values are at STP
Room Temperature mouse: .124
Chilled mouse: .179
Room Temparature insect: .006
warm insect: .011
