Textbook Question
Chapter 23, Problem 12P
Understanding Human Energy Consumption During Exercise Energy production in animals is related to oxygen consumption. The ruby-throated hummingbird consumes about 250 mL of oxygen per hour during its migration across the Gulf of Mexico. Use this number and the data in problem 11 to determine a conversion factor for energy expended per liter of oxygen consumed. If a human being consumes 12.7 kcal/min while running 8-minute miles, how long could a human run on the energy that the hummingbird consumes in its trans-Gulf flight? How many 8-minute miles would a person have to run to lose 1 pound of body fat?

Biochemistry Question. Please help. Thank you.
You are studying pyruvate utilization in mammals for ATP production under
aerobic conditions and have synthesized pyruvate with Carbon #1 labelled with radioactive C14.
After only one complete cycle of the TCA cycle, which of the TCA cycle intermediates would be
labeled with C14? Explain your answer.
Interestingly, you find C14 being excreted in the urine. How does it get there?
