Summary. The process of cell division in echinoderm eggs has under normal conditions no effect upon the rate of oxygen consumption. If the nucleus plays any direct role in the oxidative processes in the cell it does so independently of any particular phase of nuclear activity. The development of the egg is associated with an acceleration in the rate of oxygen consumption.
