Question
Chapter 32.2, Problem 1ET
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The symptoms of using 2,4 DNP and also determine why it will lead to death.
Introduction:
There are two types of fats: brown fat and white fat. Brown fat is present in babies which allows them and some other mammals to produce heat without shivering. As the baby becomes an adult the amount of brown fat decreases and the white fat increases. Brown fat contains mitochondria and lipids. The mitochondria have a membrane covering known as UCP 1 which utilizes this energy in the form of heat instead of storing it in the form of ATP.
