25 g Reptile and 25 g Mammal are both in a environment with 10 deg C. Which would have a higher rate of Cellular Respiration? Reptiles are cold blooded, and mammals are warm blooded... Please help? This is for AP Biology Lab. :P

Hey I am doing that very same lab right now. I believe that the answer would be because mammals are more active in colder temperatures than reptiles, they will require more energy. In order to produce more energy, they will need to respirate at a faster rate than the reptile and therefore consume more oxygen.

Mammals will still be active and will be using respiration to generate heat to maintain their body temp. Mammals will have a higher rate of cellular respiration.
Cold-blooded reptiles will have their body processes slowed considerably and will require less energy. Their respiration rate will be much lower.

Did anyone else notice that the question incorrectly calls frogs reptiles? Correct answer: distinct and specialized, rotating and sliding, unspecialized and undeveloped, hinge-like

Well, because the warm-blooded mammal is warm-blooded, it would respire more so that it could maintain its body temperature.
And i'm only in regular biology =p
