An increase of body temperature of 1 degree Celsius will necessitate an increase in metabolism of approximately:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the Q10 biological principle, a 10°C increase in temperature results in approximately a doubling of metabolic rate. Using this principle, an increase in body temperature of 1°C would result in an increase in metabolic rate of approximately 1.13-fold (i.e., 13%) assuming a Q10 of approximately 2. Therefore, the best choice is (C) 13%.
