According to the data, the crickets at 25oC have greater oxygen consumption per gram of tissue than do the crickets at 10oC. This trend in oxygen consumption is the opposite of that in the mice. The difference in trends in oxygen consumption among crickets and mice is due to their
(A) relative size
(B) mode of nutrition
(C) mode of internal temperature regulation
(D) mode of ATP production

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

Oxygen consumption is the amount of oxygen used by all the cells and tissues during cellular respiration.

The oxygen consumption is a measure of the metabolic reactions taking place in the cell. The increased consumption of oxygen indicates that the high production of ATP is required to maintain the internal temperature.

In the given question, since the consumption of oxygen is higher in crickets at 25° C than mice at 10 °C indicates that rate of cellular respiration process has increased to maintain the internal temperature as a mechanism of the Homeostasis.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

When there is difference in trends in oxygen consumption among crickets and mice is due to their option c.

What is Oxygen consumption?

It is the oxygen amount that should be used by all type of cells and the tissues at the time of  cellular respiration. It determined the  metabolic reactions that considering by taking the place in the cell.

Also, if the oxygen consumption should be increased so it represents the  high production of ATP i.e. needed for maintaining the internal temperature.

hence, the correct option is c.
