To review:
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.

- What is this?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology A-C components of the question are corresponding to attached image labeled 1. D component of the question is corresponding to attached image labeled 2. For a eukaryotic mRNA, the sequences is as follows where AUGrepresents the start codon, the yellow is the Kozak sequence and (XXX) just represents any codonfor an amino acid (no stop codons here). G-cap and polyA tail are not shown A. How long is the peptide produced?B. What is the function (a sentence) of the UAA highlighted in blue?C. If the sequence highlighted in blue were changed from UAA to UAG, how would that affecttranslation? D. (1) The sequence highlighted in yellow above is moved to a new position indicated below. Howwould that affect translation? (2) How long would be the protein produced from this new mRNA?

- Molecular Biology You discover a disease causing mutation (indicated by the arrow) that alters splicing of its mRNA. This mutation (a base substitution in the splicing sequence) eliminates a 3’ splice site resulting in the inclusion of the second intron (I2) in the final mRNA. We are going to pretend that this intron is short having only 15 nucleotides (most introns are much longer so this is just to make things simple) with the following sequence shown below in bold. The ( ) indicate the reading frames in the exons; the included intron 2 sequences are in bold. A. Would you expected this change to be harmful? ExplainB. If you were to do gene therapy to fix this problem, briefly explain what type of gene therapy youwould use to correct this. Please help. Thank youarrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question Please help.
