The effects of exercise, ambient temperature, and food assimilation on the metabolic rate.
Introduction:
Energy is essential to maintain constant expenditure of the living tissue. It can be obtained in two forms, either directly from the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) or indirectly by the cellular respiration of glucose, ketones, fatty acid as well as amino acids. Food is the source of these molecules, but the energy can also be obtained from glycogen, protein, or stored fat.
Explanation of Solution
Any change in body temperature affects the total metabolic rate. All the things the body does that turns food into energy and keep the body functioning is included in metabolism. A lot of energy is required by muscle cells for doing exercise. Hence, the metabolic rate increases while exercising.
The temperature of the body plays a significant role in the metabolic rate of the body. The hypothalamus has temperature-sensitive cells as well as the temperature centers that act on the instruments for change in body temperature. Any deviation in body temperature from the set point stimulates the hypothalamus to automatically correct the deviations and maintain the correct body temperature. The metabolic rate slows down in case the body temperature decreases.
The metabolic rate of a person is the total rate of the body’s metabolism. It can be measured in two forms, either via the amount of heat generated by the body or the consumption of oxygen by the body per minute. The food assimilation leads to an increased level of BMR or basal metabolic rate.

- One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardIf a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardHow do i know which way the arrows go?arrow_forward

Please note that the focus of this assignment are the (biological) scientific issues associated with rewilding. As will be discussed in class, there are a number of non-scientific issues involved or implicated in rewilding, all ultimately affecting the public acceptability of rewilding. Although these issues are important – indeed, critical – in this assignment you should focus on the biological science issues and questions. Details: You must enumerate at least two pros and at least two cons. Your answer should be no more than 500 well-chosen words, excluding references. Think carefully about how best to organize and structure your answer. Aim for high information density: say a lot, but say it succinctly.
