states that there are several beneficial consequences to sleep. For example‚ it allows for energy conservation; it provides a period of time where there is no activity‚ thus allowing the conservation of energy which is essential for animals with high metabolic rates. Webb suggested that everyday sleep is similar to hibernation - sleep conserves energy at times when it’s harder to get resources (i.e at night time). Meddis suggested that sleep helps keep animals safe. By being quiet and still‚ they’re less

Experiment Results Predict Question: Predict Question 1: Make a prediction about the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of the remaining rats compared with the BMR of the normal rat you just measured. Your answer : c. The BMR of both remaining rats will be lower than the normal rat’s BMR. Predict Question 2: What do you think will happen after you inject thyroxine into the three rats? Your answer : a. The normal rat will become hyperthyroidic and develop a goiter. Predict Question 3: What do you think

questions refer to Activity 1: Determining Baseline Metabolic Rates. 1. Which rat had the fastest baseline metabolic rate? -------------------------The normal rat 2. Compare the baseline metabolic rates for the thyroidectomized rat and the normal rat and explain your results. The thyroidectomized rat had a lower baseline metabolic rate beause the removal of its thyroid gland prevented it from producing any thyroxine. 3. Compare the baseline metabolic rates for the hypophysectomized rat and the normal

Hyperthermia and Homeostasis Definition of homeostasis is the attempt to keep equilibrium of the internal organisms despite the external environment. Homeostasis is everywhere in your body‚ think of the heart for a second. If you have a high blood pressure your cells send signals to your brain to slow the heart rate down to keep equilibrium‚ or if you have low blood pressure your heart will beat faster. Hyperthermia relates to homeostasis through numerous different systems in the body. In

Hypertention Hypertension is a common disorder characterized by a sustained elevation of systolic arterial pressure of 120 mm Hg or higher‚ or a diastolic arterial pressure of 80 mm Hg or greater or higher‚ or both. Hypertension is divided into two categories: essential hypertension and secondary hypertension.

The disorder is usually a loss of metabolic enzymes or incomplete formation of the enzyme. This disorder can be dangerous and even fatal‚ but usually does not cause significant disruption in children. Examples of metabolic disorders is Tay-Sachs disease (a fatal disease of the central nervous system) and phenylketonuria. Other causes of inherited disorders are: Use of alcohol by pregnant women Use of alcohol by pregnant women can cause fetal alcohol syndrome and certain drugs taken by pregnant

In 2015‚ Anthem has announced their biggest data breach yet‚ 80 million people were at risk in having their personal data exposed which may cause identity fraud. This was not the case in just losing a credit card it was much more personal because of the information it contained. Everyone’s social security numbers‚ previous health records‚ previous employees and previous address that is the biggest issue in this case. This was called “sophisticated attack” because someone has impersonated as administrator
