In the 2015 census, Albertans spent 30% of their budget on food purchased from restaurants. A lot of the food purchased is in the form of fast food. Fast food is often high in fatand sodium and low in nutrients and minerals such as calcium.Hypocalcemia, or low levels of calcium, may result in brittle nails, broken bones, muscle cramps, mental confusion, and seizures.Select the actions below that would help the body to maintain homeostasis if blood calcium levels are low.1. Low levels of blood calcium are detected by thyroid gland.2. Low levels of blood calcium are detected by parathyroid gland.3. Parathyroid hormone is released.4. Calcitonin is released.5. Bone is broken down to release calcium.6. Muscle is broken down to release calcium.7. Calcium uptake by the kidneys and intestines increases.8. Calcium uptake by the kidneys and intestines decreases.Record your answers in ascending (lowest to highest) order.

A study of the effects of vitamin D in the body has shown that persons with lower levels of vitamin D are more likely to have chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, colds, and flu. Can you conclude that vitamin D prevents these chronic diseases? What other possible explanations for this correlation can you suggest?
Regulating blood glucose levels is important. When the concentration of glucose in the blood is too high, it can cause damage. When the concentration is too low, it starves the body of energy. The concentration of blood glucose is regulated according to the diagram above. This homeostatic system can be disrupted by a number of different disorders. For each statement, select TRUE if it is consistent, or FALSE if it is not consistent with the information presented in this diagram and in reference to the three hypothetical disorders provided in the table above. Disorder 1 would result in blood glucose concentrations that are too low (hypoglycemia). Question 2 options: True False After fasting (not eating) for two days, an individual with disorder 3 would have blood glucose concentrations that are too high. Question 3 options: True False The main effector that helps restore blood…

Animals that use metabolic heat to maintain body temperature are at lower risk of overheating than animals that do not use metabolic heat to maintain body temperature D. Relative to their body size, large animals lose more metabolic heat to the environment than small animals E. All of the above are true
DOCUMENT D: Read the document below and answer the following question Zach is entering his 10th grade year of high school. He played on the 9™ grade football team last year, however, he really wants to play on the varsity team this year. He knows that if he is going to be competitive he must put on muscle mass during the summer. He convinces his parents to buy him protein powder so that he can start drinking 3 protein shakes a day. In addition he is also eating 100 grams of protein a day from various sources of food such as peanut butter, greek yogurt, grilled chicken, and hard-boiled eggs. The recommended amount of protein for a teenage boy is 50 grams. He is sure that with all this extra protein in his diet that he will gain muscle quickly. However, the summer is almost over and Zach still has not seen any gains in muscle mass. His mom takes him to the doctor to see if there is a medical reason for this. The doctor runs some tests and tells Zach that he has a rare disease that…
A tumour on the parathyroid glands will result in excessive production of parathyroid hormone (PTH) called hyperparathyroidism. PTH has a significant role in calcium homeostasis. Hyperparathyroidism will result in all the following EXCEPT Select one: a. the increase in blood calcium levels b. the breakdown of bones and teeth to release calcium into the blood c. the deposition of calcium into bones and teeth, making them strong and healthy d. the increase in absorption of calcium ions by kidney nephrons, leading to kidney stones
Answer Human Nutrition If you consume more protein than you need, the excess amino acids are stored as fat. What is one thing you CAN do to change your body so that your protein stores are greater? Hormones + exercise: Be able to explain the connection between epinephrine and fat. Where is epinephrine secreted? How does epinephrine help a person who has been exercising for longer than 20 minutes continue exercising? Hormones + exercise: Is insulin needed for exercise activity? Does your body make more or less insulin while you exercise? Be able to summarize effects of hormones + exercise: As blood glucose levels drop during exercise, there is less glucose in the blood available to enter cells and provide energy. The body needs to bring glucose into the blood, so glucose can travel to and enter the cell. What signals the liver and fat cells to release stored energy as glucose? What is the form of that stored energy in the liver? in fat cells? Be able to list the factors that…
Which of the following best describes an example of negative feedback? The body starts shivering to generate heat when you detect you are too warm.

A decreased heart rate in response aerobic exercise. The body sweating when the temperature gets too cold.
