what effect that has on each specimen on a biological level. The respiratory system’s main function is gas exchange as oxygen enters the lunges and travels to the alveoli for most reptiles and mammals. Insects however, do not have a gas transport system, leading to air traveling directly to the tissues carrying out respiration. The energy expenditure is directly linked to gas exchange in both humans and animals. Indirect calorimetry is used to determine the total metabolic rate by measuring both
