Unit 2: The Psychology of Fitness Assignment 1: The Body’s Response to Acute Exercise Introduction: As a health and fitness instructor I need to be able to apply my anatomical and physiological knowledge to practical activities and exercises. I have conducted practical assessments to explore how the body responds to physical activity and exercise. I have then written a report‚ including all the anatomical and physiological changes that occur within each of the bodily systems. Acute exercises

bacteria that reduces sulfate is also important in aerobic environments and for the ecology‚ for example‚ in oceanic sediments and aerobic black water treatment Sulfate reducers such as thermosulfobacteria have a wide range of cellular forms‚ some are rods‚ vibrios‚ ovals‚ spheres and tear dropped shaped cells. Some are motile‚ others aren’t. Many sulfate reducing bacteria are mesophilic‚ and only a few thermophilic bacteria are known. In conclusion‚ thermosulfobacteria

P7 describe the three different energy systems and their use in sport activities What is ATP? ATP stands for Adenosine triphosphate. It is often referred to as the ‘‘molecular unit of currency’’. They transport energy within cells for metabolism. One molecule of ATP contains three phosphate groups. How ATP is produced in the 3 energy systems? The first system ATP is produced in is the Phosphagen System. This system is the quickest way to gain back ATP after intense exercise. In this process‚ no

Plants play an essential role within the earth’s eco-system‚ being primary producers of chemical energy‚ to gain a greater knowledge on how plants are essential to all living things‚ cellular structure must first be understood. Cellular Structure of a Plant: The cellular structure of a plant is instrumental in shaping the overall construction of a plant and the way in which life functions are performed. The cells found within a plant are known as Eukaryotic Cells‚ as they

Respiration: How Cells Harvest Chemical Energy 1. A cell must work just to maintain its complex structure‚ for order is intrinsically unstable. Because of entropy (the second law of thermodynamics)‚ which states that any enclosed system tends toward disorganization‚ cells must constantly use energy to keep themselves in order. If the cell was to stop using energy and let itself go then it would eventually get so disorganized that it wouldn’t function properly. 2. With the help of enzymes‚ the

Increased production of CO2 is a result of increased temperatures acceleration of the rate of fermentation. Abstract: We have tested the affects of increased temperature above room temperature on the rate of fermentation of yeast. We had 6 flasks filled with 6mL DI water‚ 2mL Yeast suspension and 6mL glucose of which 3 were at 25°C and 3 were at 37°C. The flasks at 37°C had each mixture pre-heated at 37°C for 2 minutes before being combined and then added to the flask where it was put into the

Aging‚ “The accumulation of diverse deleterious changes occurring in cells and tissues with advancing age that are responsible for the increased risk of disease and death.” (Tosato‚ 401). This major aspect of our life is still a mystery to scientists‚ however there are many theories behind the process‚ and reason humans and all living organisms age. Many studies have been performed to understand more about this phenomenon‚ yet no definitive theory has been stated. Free radical theory has been a popular

ATP Synthase: The World’s Smallest Motor Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a coenzyme produced in cellular mitochondria and is not only integral to cellular metabolism but also to life. The mitochondrial production of ATP‚ which occurs through a complex process called oxidative phosphorylation‚ has been determined to rely heavily on the enzyme ATP synthase. This determination was the result of a complex experiment that attempted to prove not only that ATP synthase was responsible for production
