A respirometer is used to indirectly measure basal metabolic rate by measuring oxygen consumption at different temperatures.
What is oxygen?
- The chemical element with the atomic number 8 and symbol O is called oxygen.
- It belongs to the periodic table's chalcogen group, is a very reactive nonmetal, and an oxidising agent that easily produces oxides with most elements as well as other compounds.
- After hydrogen and helium, oxygen is the third most plentiful element in the universe and the most abundant element on Earth.
What is temperature?
- Temperature is a numerical expression of how hot a substance or radiation is.
- There are three different types of temperature scales: those that are defined by the average translational kinetic energy per freely moving microscopic particle, like an atom, molecule, or electron in a body, like the SI scale; those that rely only on macroscopic properties and thermodynamic principles, like Kelvin's original definition; and those that are defined by practical empirical properties of particula rather than theoretical principles.
