Question
- Consider a 96 kg adult, who is overweight.
Weight loss would improve their general health and wellbeing.
If 35 % of the body mass of this 96 kg adult consists of TGs (in adipose tissue), what is the total available fuel reserve, in kJ and kcal, in the form of TGs?
- Assume energy value of TGs = 37.4 kJ/g
- 1 kJ = 0.239 kcal

- NADH and succinate are substrates that can be oxidized and will consume oxygen. Rotenone and cyanide are inhibitors of the electron transport chain and can block oxidation. Match each description of the effector to the appropriate oxygen consumption. A plot may match more than one description. Some plots will not match any description.

- After 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.

All valuesgiven are expressed at Standard Conditions of Temperature andPressure (see Appendix C) and therefore can be legitimatelycompared. Average rate of O2 consumption of a human maleduring ordinary daily activities: 25 L/h. Number of years afterhis birth when Caesar was mortally stabbed near the RomanForum: 56 years. Number of liters of O2 per mole: 22.4 L/mol.Number of moles of O2 in Earth’s atmosphere: 3.7 × 1019 mol.Number of molecules per mole: 6 × 1023 molecules/mol. Amountof O2 per liter of air at sea level (20°C): 195 mL/L. Be prepared tobe surprised!
