Introduction:
Metabolic process in human body includes both catabolic and anabolic process. It means the metabolic process involves both breaking down and buildup of substances. These processes are important for converting food into ATP. ATP is used by cell for carrying out all its functions.

In the 1930's a chemical known as DNP was touted as en effective diet
pill. Weight loss was dramatic in patients taking this drug. However, to
quote Efraim Racker (A New Look at Mechanisms in Bioenergetics,
Academic Press, 1976, p. 155), ..."the treatment eliminated not only the
fat but also the patients,... This discouraged physicians for awhile..." This
drug promotes weight loss by causing the leakage of H* across the inner
mitochondrial membrane.
Which of the following would you expect to see in patients taking
DNP?
[Select the best answer.]
decreased ability to produce ATP
increased ability to produce ATP
decreased ability to use the Citric Acid Cycle to produce ATP
slowing down the Citric Acid Cycle.
1) Why you heat up when you exercise?
2) Why is exercising said to “burn calories”?
in few sentence explain why is the importance of warming up? What physiological changes occur?

- It is important for the body to be able to cool itself even during moderate exercise. Suppose a 70kg man runs on a treadmill for 30min and at a (total) metabolic energy expenditure rate of 1000W remembering that the human body has a 25% efficiency. Suppose also that the man cannot perspire; and cannot lose any heat viaconduction, convection, and radiation. By how much would the man’s body temperature increase at the end of the 30min exercise?

- Fill in the blanks using the words provided, each word will only be used onceCellular respiration, energy, ATP, Glucose, Oxygen, Chemical, stored, heat. Directions: Complete the paragraph below to explain why your body gets warm during a workout. Using the words above When you workout, your cells need ____ for muscle contraction. In order to get this, your body will carry out a process called ____. During this process, _____ (from food) is broken down in the presence of _____ to make the usable form of energy for cells, called ______. This process converts ______ energy from the bonds of food molecules into energy that is _____ (potential energy) in ATP molecules. The process also releases _____ (thermal) energy, which is why you feel warm. Your body carries out this amazing process to fuel your workouts!arrow_forwardhGH is an important part of fat metabolism, muscle development, and bone growth. Synthetic hGH can be used to treat children and adults suffering from hGH deficiency. More recently, competitive athletes have began taking hGH in an attempt to improve athletic performance. The use of hGH for athletics is banned by many major sporting organizations. A recent study of 44 athletes who took daily injections of hGH over 20 days showed that, on average, the athletes gained 4.2 lbs of muscle, but the gain in muscle did not translate to increased athletic performance.Evaluate each statement regarding the use of hGH by competitive athletes to determine whether the statement is an example of an ethical, economical, societal, or environmental issue. Athletes who play professional sports should be encouraged to take synthetic hormones to improve performance because their job is to win.

Almost immediately, the man noticed that his lips and tongue felt numb. Within a few minutes, the man began to show a lack of coordination and skeletal muscle control. Within several more minutes, the man experienced difficulty breathing and symptoms of cardiac arrest. Eventually, the man dies. The newt's skin has tetrodotoxin in it. Tetrodotoxin is produced by rough-skinned newts as a form of defense against predation. Tetrodotoxin specifically blocks the sodium pore in voltage-gated sodium channels. It does not affect the gates of a voltage-gated sodium channel. The toxin has no other effects.We will use one bipolar neuron to answer the following questions. This neuron has a resting membrane potential of -65mV. 1) true/false While under the effect of tetrodotoxin, the man's neurons would be able to reach threshold potential at their initial segments. 2) true/false The…arrow_forward*our body is tightly regulated to maintain an internal (core) temperature of 98.6 degrees F. Your body does not function properly if you get too hot or too cold, partially because protein enzymes get too "stiff" (cold temperatures) or denatured (hot temperatures). If blood temperature rises too high, this is sensed by specialized neurons in the brain. They signal other herve centers, which in turn send signals toʻthe blood vessels of the skin. As these blood vessels dilate, more blood flows close to the body surface and excess heat radiates from the body. If this is not enough to cool the body back to its set point, the brain activates sweating. Evaporation of sweat from the skin has a strong cooling effect, as we feel when we are sweaty and stand in front of a fan.
