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

- You are designing an experiment to determine if you can make desert kangaroo rats active at noon. At noon the ground and air are warmer than the internal temperature of the rats. You decide to provide the kangaroo rats with enough water to ensure they can maintain body temperature homeostasis. Based on a simplified model, you determine that at noon, kangaroo rats: - Absorb 8 watts of radiation - Generate 1 watt of metabolic heat - Re-radiate 1 watt - Exchange a total of 2 watts with the surrounding desert ground and air via conduction - Exchange 4 watts through convective processes The kangaroo rat is not in energy balance. Since kangaroo rats lose 1 watt through latent heat (i.e. evaporative cooling) with each 2 ml of water consumed, how much water would you need to provide the kangaroo rat so that it can reach homeostasis? 04 8.

Justify your response with evidence from the text.arrow_forwardAfter a long, hot run together, your friend tells you that you should dunk your head into a cooler of water to lower your body temperature more rapidly, rather than sitting and waiting to cool down. What do you think? Form a hypothesis, about how the ice-cold water might affect the rate at which your body temperature returns to normal. How could you test your hypothesis? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- Think of a common saying, perhaps something your family used to say to you, that is health-related (like you must not swim for 30 minutes after you eat, or you’ll get a stomach ache, or if you go outside with wet hair, you’ll catch a cold). What information you would need to have in order to support or refute these claims. For example, what questions would you need to investigate?arrow_forwardWhen it comes to living beings, how does the adage "the whole is more than the sum of its parts" apply? Give an examplearrow_forwardChapter 3 discussed the importance of increasing your walking pace to achieve optimal health benefits. The chapter even discussed how walking at such increased speeds could help you burn calories like a runner. Was this information surprising to you? That is, were you surprised to learn that by just increasing your pace, you could burn the same amount of calories as someone running as their physical activity?arrow_forward
- Which statement best describes the diagrams shown? https://images.app.goo.gl/xAnVmHYPHudXsoYj7arrow_forwardIn a study published in Science, Premack and Woodruff asked: "To what extent does the chimpanzee comprehend the elements of a problem situation and potential solutions?" An adult chimpanzee (Sarah) was shown 30-second videotapes of a human actor struggling with one of several problems (for example, not able to reach bananas hanging from the ceiling, a record player not playing). Then Sarah was shown two photographs, one that depicted a solution to the problem (like stepping onto a box, plugging in the record player) and one that did not. She was then instructed to pick one of the photos and place it under the television monitor. (Sarah had been raised in captivity since age one and had extensive prior exposure to photographs and television.) The order in which the scenes were presented to Sarah was randomized, as was the left/right position of the photos presented to her. Sarah was shown eight different scenarios. For each scenario, researchers recorded whether Sarah selected the…arrow_forwardAside from the ones already discussed about childbirth and blood pressure give another example of the feedback mechanism in the human body.Explain your answer briefly by filling out Table B.

- Give also explanation.arrow_forwardTay–Sachs disease is a devastating genetic neurological disorder caused by the lack of an enzyme that degrades a specific lipid molecule. When this molecule accumulates in brain cells, an otherwise healthy child undergoes motor and mental deterioration within months after birth and dies by the age of 3 years. In general terms, describe how a system biologist evaluates this phenomenon?arrow_forwardBotox is a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When ingested with tainted food, Botox can kill by paralyzing muscles needed for breathing and heartbeat. Physicians inject small quantities of diluted Botox into facial muscles to paralyze them and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Some people have expressed concern about a trend in which people come together for “Botox parties” at hair salons and other nonmedical settings. What are the risks of getting injections in such a setting?arrow_forward
