Introduction:
The metabolic rate is the maximum amount of energy that the body produces and consumes per unit of time. A molecule of ATP exists for less than 1minute before it is degraded back to ADP and inorganic phosphate. For this reason, ATP is produced in cells at about the same rate as it is used. Thus, in examining metabolic rate, ATP production and use can be roughly equated. Because most ATP production involves the use of O2, metabolic rate is usually estimated by measuring the amount of oxygen used per minute.

PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.
How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?
Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?
Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
