Chapter 6.2, Problem 1CSC
Energy Unleashed
Marathoners rely on glycogen stored in their muscles and liver for much of the energy to power their run. Glycogen consists of long, branched chains of glucose molecules. When energy is needed, glucose molecules are cleaved from the chain and then broken down into carbon dioxide and water. This exergonic reaction generates the chemical energy in ATP that will power muscle contraction. The carbon dioxide is exhaled as the runners breathe rapidly to supply their muscles with adequate oxygen. The water generated by glucose breakdown (and a lot more that that runners drink during the race) is lost as cooing sweat.
The glucose molecules In muscle and other cells do not need to be ignited and do not literally bum as they are broken down, so how do cells provide activation energy and control the release of chemical energy to allow it to do work?

Find the dental formula and enter it in the following format:
I3/3 C1/1 P4/4 M2/3 = 42 (this is not the correct number, just the correct format)
Please be aware: the upper jaw is intact (all teeth are present). The bottom jaw/mandible is not intact. The front teeth should include 6 total rectangular teeth (3 on each side) and 2 total large triangular teeth (1 on each side).

Goal 1: To alleviate the client's overall level, frequency, and intensity of anxiety and PTSD symptoms so that daily functioning remains unimpaired. Objective 1: The client will learn and regularly use at least two anxieties management techniques to reduce anxiety symptoms to less than three episodes per week. Intervention 1: The therapist will provide psychoeducation about anxiety and PTSD, including their symptoms and triggers. The therapist will also teach and assist the client in adopting relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation, to better manage anxiety and lessen PTSD symptoms.arrow_forward
