Summary Introduction

To draw: The graph that would represent the results from the “study of the correlation between the activity levels of brown fat tissue in research participants, following exposure to cold and their percentage of body fats.”

Introduction:

Brown fat cells generate heat during cellular respiration, instead of ATP. Brown fat keeps infants warm. The mitochondria of brown fats have channels that disperse the H+ gradient that the electron transport chain had produced.  In this case, the H+ ions do not pass through the ATP synthase. Therefore, ATP is not produced.

Summary Introduction

To propose: The two hypotheses that can explain these results.

The regulation of temperature in mammals and birds is an example of homeostatis. Design an experiment to observe and measure processes involved in temperature homeostatis in sedentary versus athletic humans during exercise.
Predict what would happen to the metabolic rate of the mouse if you increased the temperature. Predict what would happen to the metabolic rate of the mouse if you decreased the temperature  (You can make this prediction with text or with lines on your graph).  Support your prediction with evidence about endotherms and ectotherms.  (Hint: Think about what happens to your body when you get hot or cold.)
According to your hypothesis about the relationship between temperature and the rate of cellular respiration (as temperature increases, rate of cellular respiration increases and vice versa), answer the following questions: What was the reason that you thought your independent variable would affect the dependent? That is, what cell structures do you think would be affected by the independent variable you chose? (Think of enzymes, membranes, organelles, etc.) What was the reason for the relationship you chose? That is, why did you think the independent variable would make the dependent increase or decrease? What would the results (and graph) look if they did NOT support your claim/hypothesis?
