(choose chapter or problem)

Biology The metabolic rate of an ectothermic organism increases with increasing temperature within a certain range. Experimental data for the oxygen consumption (in microliters per gram per hour) of a beetle at certain temperatures can be approximated by the model where is the air temperature in degrees Celsius.
