Carbon Dioxide Production and Duration of Life of Drosophila Cultures
نویسنده
چکیده
The total CO(2) produced by aseptic Drosophila cultures during the entire duration of life has been determined at 15 degrees , 26 degrees , and 30 degrees C. in the dark and at 22-26 degrees C. in the light. The total amount of CO(2) produced is not constant but is greater at 15 degrees than at 26 degrees or 30 degrees , and is much greater in the light than in the dark. The total duration of life, therefore, is not determined by the time required to produce a limiting amount of CO(2).

متن کاملInduction of euthanasia using carbon dioxide in rat: an overview of the available practical guidelines
Background and aims: Euthanasia is used to define ending an animal's life in a way that results in rapid anesthesia and death without pain or distress. One of the most common methods of performing euthanasia in rats is the administration of carbon dioxide (CO2). The aim of this study was to review the available practical guidelines for inducing euthanasia in rats by administrating CO2. M...
متن کاملMetabolism as Related to Chromosome Structure and the Duration of Life
This paper presents the rates of CO(2) production for four groups of Drosophila which differ in their chromosome constitutions. The four groups have metabolic rates which correlate with the balance of their chromosomes, the balanced chromosome groups of flies producing less CO(2) than the unbalanced chromosome groups. It is concluded therefore that genic balance plays a prominent part in metabo...
