Would temperature affect the respiration of a 25 g mammal more than a 25 g 
reptile? Why? For instance, if we were to put a 25g mammal and a 25g 
reptile into separate big test tubes with cotton balls soaked with 
potassium hydroxide (KOH), stopper the tops with respirometers, and 
submerged both in a tub of filled with water of 25°C, which one would have 
a higher respiration rate?
