Chapter 30, Problem 1SA
Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The sensation is defined as the detection and interpretation of stimuli. Pain is the unpleasant and undesired sensation which may occur due to organ or tissue damage. There are various chemicals which are released by damaged tissue. These chemicals act as stimuli, and the stimuli of pain are dependent on duration, quality, location, and intensity.

Answer to Problem 1SA

Correct answer:

The pain of a stomachache is an example of visceral sensation. Hence, the correct answer is option b.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct answer:

Option b. is given as “visceral sensation.”

During stomachache, the sensory receptors present in the wall of the stomach receive the stimulation of pain, so the pain during the stomachache is classified as a visceral sensation

Reason for incorrect answer:

Option a. is given as “somatic sensation.”

During somatic sensation, the receptors present in the skin receive the stimuli, but during the stomachache, the pain is in the internal organ. Hence, option a. is incorrect.

Option c. is given as, “sensory adaptation.”

Sensory adaptation is the phenomena defined as a gradual decrease in the responsiveness of the sensory system as time passes. Hence, option c. is incorrect.

Option d. is given as, “spinal reflex.”

A spinal reflex is a pathway associated with simple behavior of the central nervous system that lies inside the spinal cord. Hence, option d. is incorrect.

Hence, the options a., c., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion

Stomach ache occurs inside the organ, and the receptors present in the walls of the stomach receive the stimuli, so it is called visceral sensation. Thus, the correct option is b.

For each of the following problems calculate the following: (Week 6-3 Video with 6-1 and 6-2) Consult the total catabolic pathways on the last page as a reference for the following questions. A. How much NADH and FADH2 is produced and fed into the electron transport chain (If any)? B. How much ATP is made from oxidative phosphorylation (OP), if any? Feed the NADH and FADH2 into the electron transport chain: 3ATP/NADH, 2ATP/FADH2 C. How much ATP is made by substrate level phosphorylation (SLP)? D. How much total ATP is made? Add the SLP and OP together. 1. Aerobic respiration using 0.5 mole of glucose? NADH FADH2 OP ATP SLP ATP Total ATP Show your work using dimensional analysis here:
Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. 18 carbons fatty acids 12 carbons glycerol . Glycerol is broken down to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a glycolysis intermediate via the following pathway shown in the figure below. Notice this process costs one ATP but generates one FADH2. Continue generating ATP with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate using the standard pathway and aerobic respiration. glycerol glycerol-3- phosphate…
