Summary Introduction
To determine:
Human
Introduction:
Metabolic process in human body includes both catabolic and anabolic process. It means the metabolic process involves both breaking down and buildup of substances. These processes are important for converting food into ATP. ATP is used by cell for carrying out all its functions.

This drug works for weight loss, by causing the leakage of H+ across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Which of the following would you expect to see in patients taking DNP? Select the best answer.

- It is important for the body to be able to cool itself even during moderate exercise. Suppose a 70kg man runs on a treadmill for 30min and at a (total) metabolic energy expenditure rate of 1000W remembering that the human body has a 25% efficiency. Suppose also that the man cannot perspire; and cannot lose any heat viaconduction, convection, and radiation. By how much would the man’s body temperature increase at the end of the 30min exercise?

Directions: Complete the paragraph below to explain why your body gets warm during a workout. Using the words above When you workout, your cells need ____ for muscle contraction. In order to get this, your body will carry out a process called ____. During this process, _____ (from food) is broken down in the presence of _____ to make the usable form of energy for cells, called ______. This process converts ______ energy from the bonds of food molecules into energy that is _____ (potential energy) in ATP molecules. The process also releases _____ (thermal) energy, which is why you feel warm. Your body carries out this amazing process to fuel your workouts!arrow_forward

Synthetic hGH can be used to treat children and adults suffering from hGH deficiency. More recently, competitive athletes have began taking hGH in an attempt to improve athletic performance. The use of hGH for athletics is banned by many major sporting organizations. A recent study of 44 athletes who took daily injections of hGH over 20 days showed that, on average, the athletes gained 4.2 lbs of muscle, but the gain in muscle did not translate to increased athletic performance.Evaluate each statement regarding the use of hGH by competitive athletes to determine whether the statement is an example of an ethical, economical, societal, or environmental issue. Athletes who play professional sports should be encouraged to take synthetic hormones to improve performance because their job is to win. Athletes who took hGH did not improve their sport performance but did improve their appearance and marketability.…arrow_forward
