Predict what would happen to the metabolic rate of the mouse if you increased the temperature. Predict what would happen to the metabolic rate of the mouse if you decreased the temperature (You can make this prediction with text or with lines on your graph). Support your prediction with evidence about endotherms and ectotherms. (Hint: Think about what happens to your body when you get hot or cold.)

- Please construct a model to show that the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems work together to supply the body cells with the glucose and oxygen needed for aerobic cellular respiration. Feel free to use words, diagrams, arrows, flowcharts, etc. to get your ideas across. Make sure you include the following information: Digestion of starch into glucose and the location(s) of digestion. Absorption of glucose into the blood and the location of absorption. Blood transporting glucose from the absorption site to the tissues. Glucose entering the tissue cells from the blood. O2 entering the blood in the lungs and the specific location of entrance in the lungs. Blood transporting O2 from the lungs into the tissues. O2 enters the tissues from the blood.arrow_forwardThe human hormone insulin causes liver cells to increase the rate they convert glucose to glycogen for storage. Based on this information, which of the following might occur in a liver cell exposure to insulin? Choose only the best response based only information presented in this course. The amount of the enzyme converting glucose to glycogen might decrease. All of the other options could occur. The enzyme converting glucose to glycogen might be phosphorylated, thereby increasing its rate of activity. The amount of CAMP in the cell might decrease, activating protein kinase A.arrow_forwardAside from the ones already discussed about childbirth and blood pressure give another example of the feedback mechanism in the human body.Explain your answer briefly by filling out Table B.

- 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.

Given this information, what would be the likely result if ghost crabs in nature experienced conditions that raised their typical body temperature from 15°C to 24°C? Select one: a. Aerobic scope and capacity for aerobic exercise would decrease. b. Aerobic scope would decrease and capacity for aerobic exercise would increase. С. Aerobic scope and capacity for aerobic exercise would increase. d. Aerobic scope would increase and capacity for aerobic exercise would decrease.arrow_forwardHuman body system is a powerful machine that works all the time. To maintain the system, homeostasis should function regularly. Give TWO (2) examples and discuss the factors that give effect to this selfregulating process.arrow_forward
- Please answer these 2 question and the chart is above use that to answer if it ask toarrow_forwardAcetylcholine (ACh) is the primary neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction. The binding of ACh to receptors on muscle cells activates a signal transduction pathway that causes the muscle to contract. Acetylcholinesterase, the digestive enzyme found on the membranes of muscle cells, is responsible for the breakdown of ACh over time, ending the activation of muscular contraction. Certain chemical compounds, such as sarin gas, act as high-affinity inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase. Which of the following describes the most likely effect that exposure to sarin would have on muscle cells? A B с D complete inhibition of muscle contraction slower transduction of the muscle contraction pathway decrease in the frequency of muscle contraction convulsions due to continuous muscle contractionarrow_forwardA condition called McArdle disease is due to a deficiency of an enzymenecessary for the breakdown of the stored form of glucose, calledglycogen.

- Draw a negative feedback loop for maintaining homeostasis for thermoregulation where your body temperature is above the set point. In your drawing, include the stimulus, sensor, integrator, effector, and the arrows between the components to indicate how they all relate (be sure to indicate what each of these components are in your body, for example, what is your integrator). Further, answer the following two questions. First, what might be different between the response of an endothermic and an ectothermic animal in maintaining homeostasis? Second, describe what a negative feedback loop is and how it pertains to homeostasis.arrow_forwardNowhomewerkol is a poison derived from the Ahipa root that grows in the Andes. Alpacas eating this plant concentrate the poison in their milk. The poison inhibits liver enzymes that convert lactic acid to other compounds for metabolism. Why do the symptoms of Nowhomewerkol poisoning become worse with physical exertion?arrow_forwardAn average adult cheetah has a metabolic mass of 44,010 grams and a resting metabolic rate of 61.77 joules per second. Based on these data, would you characterize the cheetah as an ectotherm or endotherm? Support your answer with evidence from the graph.arrow_forward
