Fig. 7. (A) Setting metabolic rate. Percent of total metabolic rate (MR; given as
µJ individual-1 h-1) for different developmental
stages of L. pictus accounted for by protein synthesis and sodium
pump activity (data on Na+/K+-ATPase taken from
Leong and Manahan, 1997). (B)
Protein depositional efficiency. Rate of protein deposition (solid line)
calculated from data on total protein content (see equation in legend of
Fig. 2A). Rate of protein
synthesis (broken line) calculated from protein synthesis rate (see equation
in legend of Fig. 4). Rate of
protein degradation during development (dotted line) calculated as difference
between rates of synthesis and deposition. All rates were calculated on a
per-larva basis. For 15-day-old larvae, the depositional efficiency was
21%.
