more branches translate to more ends‚ and more glucose that can be released at once. Now‚ this may lead to numerous advantages in animals such as energy is not released from fat as fast as from glycogen‚ glycolysis provides a mechanism of anaerobic metabolism which is important in muscle cells that cannot get oxygen as fast as needed‚ and glycogen provides

P5. Homeostasis is the process by which a constant internal environment is maintained by our body. For instance‚ this means that in our body‚ temperature‚ blood sugar levels‚ etc must be kept within a narrow range even when we are in a freezing climate‚ or while doing vigorous exercise etc. All homeostatic control mechanisms have at least three interdependent components which are: The receptor responds to changes in the environment‚ for example‚ detects temperature change. Then‚ after the receptor

Sugar – All Sweetness and Light? Sugar in all its forms is officially a simple carbohydrate. This means the body will convert is into glucose which is then available as energy. Then it gets less simple. Depending on the type of sugar used our health will be impacted rather differently‚ sometimes bad‚ sometimes very bad depending on using either natural or refined types of sugar. Whereas the usual over use of any sugar is likely to add fat and body weight and also play havoc with blood sugar levels

itself but an indication of some disease. Infections and malnutrition are the main causes of fever. FACTORS AFFECTING NUTRITION Factors affecting nutrition during fever are as follows: *Increase in temperature during fever increases the rate of metabolism in the body. * Energy is stored as glycogen in the body. Amount of glycogen is gradually depleted in fever. *Loss of tissues in fever leads to increased demand of proteins. * Acute deficiency of water & minerals is caused in fever due to

caloric intake affects performance‚ growth and health. The benefit of protein for a dancer is essential for muscle and tissue repairment. A dancers diet should be composed of 12-15% of protein. In addition‚ protein provides amino acids necessary for metabolism. Examples of good protein sources for dancers are tofu‚ beans and meat. The benefit of carbohydrates is to provide energy production to the body. The muscles are stored with glycogen through the

1. Which rat‚ A‚ B or C has no thyroid gland? Rat A (1 pts) 2. Justify your answer. (what data convinced you of your answer) (1 pts) T3 and T4 regulate the metabolism‚ so when more is available it increases the baseline metabolic rate. TSH causes the release of T3 and T4‚ so if the rat is injected with TSH‚ in theory we would suggest that the levels of T3 and T4 are also higher than the baseline metabolic rate. 3. In a further experiment‚ all 3 rats were given a drug that inhibits the production

Mitochondria are the cell’s power producers. They convert energy into forms that are usable by the cell. Located in the cytoplasm‚ they are the sites of cellular respiration which ultimately generates fuel for the cell’s activities. Mitochondria are also involved in other cell processes such as cell division and growth‚ as well as cell death. They convert oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the chemical energy "currency" of the cell that powers the cell’s metabolic activities

are all very specific as each enzyme just performs one particular reaction. Catalase is an enzyme found in food such as potato and liver. It is used for removing Hydrogen Peroxide from the cells. Hydrogen Peroxide is the poisonous by-product of metabolism. Catalase speeds up the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide into water and oxygen as shown in the equations below. It is able to speed up the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide because the shape of its active site matches the shape of the

with the same ratio as water. The ratio 1:2:1. Lipids are basically fats. They are unable to be dissolved in water or any liquid but can dissolve in organic solvents. The configuration of cells are composed of a variety of chemical molecules. Cell metabolism involved the construction and obliteration of numerous diverse sorts of molecules. (Packet‚ Crafton 2014) Proteins are highly varied organic molecules establishing a large percentage of the mass of every organism. Proteins are an essential nutrient
