6. You are wandering in the wilderness, naked, hungry, and cold. You find two caves of the same dimensions. In one cave there is 600 kg moose and in the other cave are 100,000 6-gram mice. Both species are very friendly and they have an unlimited supply of food.

a. Which cave would you enter to warm up quickly? (you cannot eat the animals!!). Why?

b. If you were to isolate mitochondria from the liver of the moose and livers of the mice, how would the State 4 respiration rates differ? How does this relate to your answer in question 6a? It is to your advantage to give as detailed an answer as possible because it will help you integrate the material from the subcellular to the whole-animal level.
