Summary Introduction

To discuss: The relationship between exercise intensity and bioenergetic pathways that produces ATP during various types of exercise.

Introduction: Exercise includes all the bodily activities that help to enhance or maintain physical fitness for overall health and wellness. Exercise can be performed for various reasons such as to aid growth, improve strength, prevent aging, develop muscles, weight loss, and also for enjoyment.

Explanation of Solution

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the primary source of energy in most of the cells. The three major sources of energy systems that are involved in ATP production during exercise are ATP-PC system, aerobic, and anaerobic pathways. The sources of ATP during different types of exercise are summarized as follows:

  • The energy source for high intensity short-term exercise is from anaerobic metabolic pathways.
  • The adenosine triphosphate-phosphocreatine (ATP-PC) system provides energy for various movements or exercises like quick reactions, sprints, and other exercises that last for about 1‑5 seconds.
  • Glycolysis supplies most of ATP for intense exercise like long distance sprints; however, all three energy systems are involved in energy production.
  • Intense exercise that lasts about a minute uses all the energy systems; however the ratio of anaerobic to aerobic pathway is 70% to 30%.
  • For prolonged exercises and beginning of incremental exercising, the aerobic metabolism supplies most of the energy.

Question #3: In the KeyGene paper, the authors state that it would be useful if pollen from an apomict would transmit apomixis-inducing genes to the female in the cross (assuming the pollen is viable). Assuming there was just one gene conferring gametophytic obligate apomixis, and that the two parents are inbreds, what would be the consequences of such a cross if: a) The apomixis was a dominant trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the parental cross. b) The apomixis was a recessive trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the…
Question #5: Assume that two genes are identified that confer gametophytic facultative apomixis in soybean. The genes show independent assortment. Recessive alleles at both loci are required for the facultative apomixis. Facultative apomixis is triggered when the temperature at pollination is above 20 degrees C. At temperatures below 20 degrees C, all reproduction is sexual, independent of genotype. A facultative apomict male, capable of producing viable pollen, was crossed with a sexually reproducing female. Assuming the parents are completely inbred, what are the predicted phenotypic ratios (apomict: non-apomict) for the F1, F2, and DH (F1-derived) generations at each of the following temperatures*: a) 15°C? b) 25°C? *for full credit, show crosses and genotypes where appropriate. Remember to position the female first (left side) in the cross. Type your answer here:
a. What percentage of a drug is eliminated after 4 half-lives? Please round to the nearest percent.  b. What will happen to elimination of the drug in the previous question if the system is saturated? explain and show any math involved
