Question
Human Adipose (Fat) cells:
a. store glycogen as a long-term energy reserve
b. store triglycerides as a long-term energy reserve
c. release triglycerides when the human body is in prolonged “energy deficit” (more
calories used than calories eaten)
d. increase or decrease the size of their lipid droplet depending on how many calories you
eat, but never go away
e. store large amounts of NADH to support
cannot get enough oxygen to carry out oxidative phosphorylation

O a. boxer O b. marathon runner O c. football player O d. sprinterarrow_forwardAfter infection, some T cells (a particular type of immune cell) may persist as memory T cells (TMcells). When they re-encounter the same pathogen, TM cells rapidly divide to produce more T cells to help fight off the infection. This rapid cell division requires substantial energy. One way that this energy is provided to TMcells is via increased activity of the ETC. One standard type of experiment for analyzing oxidative metabolism is measuring the oxygen consumption rate OCR in the presence of different compounds. The lines indicate the time at which the different ETC/OxPhos inhibitors were added. Note that the inhibitors are never removed. Complete the table below. Time Period 1 2 3 4 Inhibitor added None Oligomycin (inhibits ATP Synthase) FCCP (Uncoupler) Rotenone + Antimycin (Complexes I and III) Can electrons flow? If so, from which compound to which compound? If not, what is preventing it? Can H+move through the membrane? If so,…arrow_forwardThe previous answers were wrongarrow_forward

List the major steps of aerobic cellular respiration and describe the major events of each step.c. Explain the role of an electron carrier in cellular respiration.d. Predict what would happen to the process of cellular respiration if oxygen was not present. In your answer, specifically state the role that oxygen plays in cellular respiration.arrow_forwardIn muscle, glycogen phosphorylase is stimulated (activated) by a. Glucose b. AMP c. Glucose 6-phosphate d. ATParrow_forwardAfter a meal that contains carbohydrates, blood glucose levels usually rise gradually as carbohydrates are digested and the resulting monosaccharides are absorbed into the bloodstream. Suppose you run a test on a human with no lactase production. You would provide a dose (e.g., 25 grams) of lactose and measure changes in blood glucose levels over the next three hours. Predict how blood glucose levels would change from fasting to three hours. Justify your response using the results from the above simulation.arrow_forward
