Question
Chapter 32.2, Problem 1TC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The symptoms of using 2,4 DNP and also determine why it will lead to death.
Introduction:
There are two types of fats: brown fat and white fat. Brown fat is present in babies which allows them and some other mammals to produce heat without shivering. As the baby becomes an adult the amount of brown fat decreases and the white fat increases. Brown fat contains mitochondria and lipids. The mitochondria have a membrane covering known as UCP 1 which utilizes this energy in the form of heat instead of storing it in the form of ATP.

Bodybuilders that take anabolic steroids such as androstenedione and testosterone often suffer from gynecomasty (enlarged breasts) as a side effect. Knowing that in women breast growth is stimulated by estrogens, explain why this happens to bodybuilders using the law of mass action. Again, make sure to mention the substrate and product of the reaction.

- Figure 37.11 Pancreatic tumors may cause excess secretion of glucagon. Type I diabetes results from the failure of the pancreas to produce insulin. Which of the following statement about these two conditions is true? A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will have the opposite effects on blood sugar levels. A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will both cause hyperglycemia. A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will both cause hypoglycemia. Both pancreatic tumors and type I diabetes result in the inability of cells to take up glucose.arrow_forwardYou are a researcher seeking to determine if an experimental drug can effectively treat hyperglycemia, a condition characterized by excess glucose in the blood, often associated with Type I diabetes. You select 24 hyperglycemia patients to study, and you give half of them a pill containing the drug you are testing and the other half a placebo (a pill that lacks the drug ingredient). After an evening of fasting, you measure the amount of glucose in their blood the next morning. Write the null and alternative hypotheses appropriate for your study. Which treatment is your control group, and why does your experimental design require a control group? Describe the structure of a carbohydrate, and what are the functions of carbohydrates in the body? What test that we have used before in lab could you use to measure the amount of glucose in their blood? Describe how you would use this test to measure the amounts of glucose in their blood serum samples.

Insulin results in dephosphorylation and subsequentactivation ofglycogen synthase. II. cAMP is a second messenger that triggers an increase in glycogensynthesis. III. Release of epinephrine leads to increased glycogen breakdown. IV. Glucagon promotes glycogen breakdown. V.

- Which of the following statements about glucose metabolism is correct? A. Glucagon increases the rate of glycolysis B. Glycolysis requires NADP+ C. In glycolysis, glucose is cleaved into two three-carbon product D. The end-product of glycolysis in red blood cells is pyruvate E. Glycogen is synthesized in the liver in response to insulin and exported to other tissues for use as a metabolic fuelarrow_forwardSuppose you are an intern working in a small rural emergency room in Bumblescum, SC. Your hospital is short on nurses and you have to prepare IV fluids for all of your patients. One of your patients is suffering from an insulin overdose and you are trying to regulate her blood sugar back to normal. You decide to administer an intravenous drip of 5% dextrose over an extended period with monitoring. Normally IV bags containing 5% dextrose are available, but due the current healthcare crisis the hospital administrators have decided to order standard bags of 0.9% NaCl. This means you will need to remove a calculated volume of the 0.9% NaCl from the bag and add back the calculated volume of dextrose. A container of 50% dextrose is available in the ER stockroom. How much of the 50% dextrose should be added to the bag if the total IV bag volume will be 1000 mL and a 5% solution is desired?arrow_forwardIslet cells in the pancreas are actively synthesizing and secreting insulin into the bloodstream. A scientist purifies different membranous fractions of these islet cells. In which fraction would she find insulin or its intermediates?arrow_forward
- Corticosteroids (a type of hormone), and Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are non-narcotic pain relievers. Both medications are prescribed to reduce inflammation in the body. NSAIDs such as aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen are able to reduce pain, fever, and inflammation by blocking the action of the cyclooxygenase enzyme (COX) that catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. Common corticosteroids include prednisone, cortisone, and methylprednisolone. Choose one of these three corticosteroids. The corticosteroid that you choose and then explain how the drug works to reduce inflammation.arrow_forwardThe first step of gluconeogenesis takes place in mitochondria.

- Lactose intolerance is caused by reduced production of the enzyme lactase. A variety of digestive system problems, such as celiac disease and Crohn’s disease) can also lower the production of lactase. If an individual produces low levels of the enzyme lactase, explain why they might be able to tolerate eating dairy products that contain lower levels of lactose (e.g., hard cheeses, feta cheese, and cottage cheese), but will not be able to tolerate foods with high levels of lactose (e.g., milk).arrow_forwardCan you answer all the parts to following question, true or false: Q23: A: The breakdown of a fatty acid produces more energy than the breakdown of glucose (True or False) B: Acetyl-CoA can be directly converted to pyruvate through the TCA (True or False) C: Glucagon stimulates the liver to store energy by performing glycolysis (True or False) D: The keto diet is dangerous due to the risk of developing ketoacidosis (True or False)arrow_forwardLactose is found in milk products. It is converted by the body into a usable form in a series of chemical reactions. The diagram shows the series of reactions that convert lactose into a usable form. Enzyme 1 Enzyme 2 Enzyme 3 Enzyme 4 galactose- 1-phosphate Lactose galactose glucose- 1-phosphate glucose- 6-phosphate If enzyme 2 is denatured (destroyed), the levels of which substance will increase?arrow_forward
