Question
Chapter 1, Problem 25RA
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Range of temperature values.
Introduction:
The range of values are the maximum and minimum values between which a given parameter remains in equilibrium. While performing an experiment the range for different physiological conditions is set. The feedback mechanism helps in maintaining normal physiological conditions.

Altitude affects the temperature at which water boils. At the bottom of the Grand Canyon, -
2000 ft above sea level, water boils at 97.8°C. At the top of the Grand Canyon, water boils
at 92.2°C. What would these temperatures be on the Fahrenheit scale?

The acceptable daily intake (ADI) of the additive E100 = 20 mg per kg of
bodyweight per day. The maximum usable dose for E100 in "water-based
flavoured drinks, energy-reduced or no added sugar" is 400mg/litre of drink.
What volume of a fizzy drink containing the maximum usable dose of E100 would
a 80 kg adult need to drink to equal the ADI of E100? (show all calculations)
Diazepam is used as a skeletal muscle relaxant and as a sedative administered before surgery, as
well as a treatment for anxiety. For children above the age of 6 months who suffer from anxiety
disorders, diazepam is administered at a reduced dosage. Suppose a child with a body surface area
(BSA) of 0.8 m2 is to receive a dose of diazepam divided into three administrations. Using the BSA
rule and assuming that an adult dose of diazepam is 12 mg, what are the daily dose and the dose
per administration?
mg

Some of the water that you drink may eventually be converted into sweat and evaporate. If you drink a 20-ounce bottle of water that had been inthe refrigerator at 3.8 °C, how much heat is needed to convert all of that water into sweat and then to vapor??

- 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: - Gain 8 watts of heat from radiation and 1 watt of heat from metabolism - Lose 1 watt of heat by re-radiation - Gain 6 watts of heat from the surrounding desert ground and air via conduction and convection 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? 4 8. 12 24 28 O 32arrow_forwardFill in the missing values in the table.
