I am running trials right now on the Red-Sided Garter Snake. I just calculated an RQ of .794 for my latest trial.
The ration of the carbon dioxide produced to the volume of oxygen consumed
Where does the R value, respiratory quotient or RER come from.
The quotient is the result of dividing two numbers. So if you need to find the quotient of 20 and 5, you would divide 20 by 5. That means that your answer (4) would be the quotient.
The quotient would be 11/s
155
If you mean 81/3 then the quotient is 27
Lime is not recommended for snakes as it can be harmful to them. The acidity of lime can irritate a snake's skin, eyes, and respiratory system. It's best to avoid using lime in snake habitats or for cleaning purposes.
RQ may stand for a number of things but in science it means respiratory quotient. This is a measure which is used in calculations of basal metabolic rate.
Let the number be 'x'. Quotient of 80 and x would be : 80/x
Normal saw dust shouldn't be used it can cause respiratory problems. There is a form of saw dust called aspen shaving which is suitable for snakes
Calculating the respiratory quotient (RQ) in plants is challenging due to the simultaneous processes of photosynthesis and respiration occurring in different parts of the plant. During daylight, photosynthesis produces oxygen and consumes carbon dioxide, which can skew RQ measurements. Additionally, the RQ can vary depending on factors such as plant species, environmental conditions, and developmental stages. These complexities make it difficult to isolate and accurately measure the respiratory processes in plants.
It is a unitless number used in calculations of basal metabolic rate (BMR) when estimated from carbon dioxide production.
