3 types of aggregated chemical transformations • Assimilation: X(substrate)+M E(reserve) + M • linked to surface area • Dissipation: E(reserve) +M M • somatic maintenance: linked to surface area & structural volume • maturity maintenance: linked to maturity • maturation or reproduction overheads • Growth: E(reserve)+M V(structure) + M • Compounds: • Organic compounds: V, E, X and P • Mineral compounds: CO2, H2O, O2 and Nwaste

Dissipating heat Steam from a heap of moist Prunus serotina litter illustrates metabolic heat production by fungi
Heat increment of feeding • Definition: • O2consumption that is associated with assimilation per unit of ingested food • Strange name relates to common practice to take pT+ JOwhich generally does not hold true • Exercise: What is the relationship between O2 consumption and heat production
