Respirometer
apparatus used to measure the rate of respiration of an organism through changes in gas volume (o2) and allows one to determine metabolic rate and energy expenditure

New cards
Limitations of Respirometer
specimen might has a very low metabolic rate → changes may not be detected
too much co2 → Not absorbed by KOH

Main Concept of Respirometer
as organism takes up o2 gas volume decreases so fluid moves
drop in pressure is detected by manometer
water bath can be used to investigate the effect of temperature.
