Relations between Oxygen Consumption, Carbon Dioxide Elimination, and Heat 



Production. 



The ratios as expressed by the oxygen thermal quotient, carbon dioxide 



thermal quotient, and respiratory quotient for the different periods of the 



experiment are given in table 44. Noticeable fluctuations appear in the 



quotients for the different periods. On the other hand, the quotients for 24 



hours are nearly constant.

 quotients Metabolism experiment No. 69.
