You have a friend who lost 7 kg (about 15 pounds) of fat on a "raw food" diet. How did the fat leave his body? [Select the best answer.] It was converted to urine and eliminated from the body. It was broken down to amino acids and eliminated from the body. It was converted to ATP, which weighs much less than fat. Chemical energy was converted to heat and then released. It was released as CO₂ and H₂O.

Rabbits' intestines help in the digestion of cellulose, which is a time-consuming and complex process. To digest cellulose, rabbits require enzymes produced by bacteria living in their intestines. These bacteria break down the cellulose into simple sugars that rabbits can digest. Which of the following is an accurate statement about the survival needs of both rabbits and the bacteria that live in the rabbits' intestines? Both the bacteria and rabbits get energy A from sugars, and both must eliminate wastes. Both the bacteria and rabbits get energy from sugars, but only rabbits need to eliminate wastes. Both the bacteria and rabbits need nutrients, but only rabbits need water. Only rabbits need nutrients and water; the bacteria do not need nutrients or water.
The thermoneutral zone is the range of body temperatures over which an animal can maintain a constant basal metabolic rate. Which of the following patterns about thermoregulation is true? A. Below the lower critical threshold, animals must decrease their metabolic rate in order to maintain body temperature B. Animals living in the arctic have higher critical temperatures than do animals in the tropics C. When outside temperatures are below the lower critical temperature for an animal, animals in the arctic increase their metabolic rate faster than do animals in the tropics D. All of the above E. None of the above
After a meal that contains carbohydrates, blood glucose levels usually rise gradually as carbohydrates are digested and the resulting monosaccharides are absorbed into the bloodstream. Suppose you run a test on a human with no lactase production. You would provide a dose (e.g., 25 grams) of lactose and measure changes in blood glucose levels over the next three hours. Predict how blood glucose levels would change from fasting to three hours. Justify your response using the results from the above simulation.
Hello, May I get help with this physiology question? Question: Zoe S has been feeling really tired lately and so she went to the medical doctor to see what's wrong. The medical doctors run some tests and tell her that she's developed a disorder where many of her enterocytes have started using glucose as the main substrate for glycolysis. She knows a little bit of cell biology, and she doesn't understand how this could possibly be a bad thing. Zoe asks you for some guidance. You tell her… (see image)
NADH is more____ than NAD+, which means it has ____ energy. When NAD+ is converted to NADH, it is____, and when NADH is converted to NAD+ it is_____ . *Please use the answer key options in the attached image below.
3. Olivia is a wilderness tour guide and spends her day hiking in the mountains. She uses 412 moles of ATP over the course of an 8 hour work day. How much fat did she burn to do this. Assume the following: • 1 kg of fat contains 6700 kcal • 1 kcal = 4.18 kJ 32 % of energy from cellular respiration makes ATP 1 mole of ATP releases 31 kJ of energy when broken down • Olivia only burns fat as an energy source
You are designing an experiment to determine if you can make desert kangaroo rats active at noon. At noon the ground and air are warmer than the internal temperature of the rats. You decide to provide the kangaroo rats with enough water to ensure they can maintain body temperature homeostasis. Based on a simplified model, you determine that at noon, kangaroo rats: - Absorb 8 watts of radiation - Generate 1 watt of metabolic heat - Re-radiate 1 watt - Exchange a total of 2 watts with the surrounding desert ground and air via conduction - Exchange 4 watts through convective processes The kangaroo rat is not in energy balance. Since kangaroo rats lose 1 watt through latent heat (i.e. evaporative cooling) with each 2 ml of water consumed, how much water would you need to provide the kangaroo rat so that it can reach homeostasis? 04 8. O 12 O24 O 28 32
In the 1930's a chemical known as DNP was touted as en effective diet pill. Weight loss was dramatic in patients taking this drug. However, to quote Efraim Racker (A New Look at Mechanisms in Bioenergetics, Academic Press, 1976, p. 155), ..."the treatment eliminated not only the fat but also the patients,...This discouraged physicians for awhile..." This drug works for weight loss, by causing the leakage of H+ across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Which of the following would you expect to see in patients taking DNP? Select the best answer. Question options: decreased ability to produce ATP increased ability to produce ATP decreased ability to use Krebs cycle to produce ATP slowing down the citric acid cycle.
