b. indirect calorimetry

Direct Calorimetry is the process of measuring heat production to determine metabolic rate in living organisms.

Indirect calorimetry involves the measuring of heat that living objects create from producing carbon dioxide and nitrogenous wastes. It also deals with calculating the heat from oxygen consumption. From calculating these figures, we can determine the percentage of carbohydrates and fatty acids being metabolized and the amount of energy being produced.
