To calculate RER is an RER of 0.70 is mostly fat is the fuel source, RER of 0.85 is a mix of fat and carbohydrates, 1.00 or above is carbohydrate as the fuel source. During the warm up of the VO2 test, there was a slight elevation of RER the first 30 seconds, probably due to nervousness. I ran myself pretty hard during the test and my RER max was 1.20 during the exercise. On the cool down my RER rose to 1.25, but that is due to trying to replenish oxygen

Procedure: Have you made any changes to the procedure? Please explain. If you made no changes, state so. (1 point)

2. The subject who was diagnosed with secondary hypothyroidism was given levothyroxine (synthetic Thyroxine). After 6 weeks of

Why are spindle fibers important for mitosis? (5 points) Chromosomes use spindle fibers as pathways to daughter cells during mitosis.

P6- follows guidelines to interpret collected data for heart rate, breathing rate and temperature before and after a standard period of exercise

Lab 2.1 consisted of an assessment that evaluated my overall health and whether I was healthy enough to begin a fitness program. Based off of the information in this lab it was determined that I have no physical or health related conditions that prevent me from beginning a fitness program. I determined from this lab that since I am already active I would benefit the most over the course of this class from increasing the duration and intensity of my activities (Fahey, Insel & Roth, 2013, pg.48) and to maintain an overall healthy diet. The area I saw that needed a change was the amount of alcohol I consumed over the weekend. I have since cut that down to 1-2 drinks per week. I still workout five days a week and maintain a healthy diet. The changes

4) This line is much like a line on a geologic topo map. Explain the similarity.

Nutrition has always been a big part of my life even prior to becoming a nurse. On a daily basis I am using nutrition in some way or another to teach my patients or learn something about myself. I usually follow the latest nutritional news because and I am a firm believer that diet is key in health and healing.NS325 has been a very useful and knowledgeable course because I can personally relate to it and can apply much of the information learned to my own life and career. The Diet Analysis project was wonderful because it gave me a first hand look at my own diet habits.

The objective of Day 1 of this lab was to create a liquid fertilizer with 10% phosphorous by mass, 80% nitrogen by mass, and 50% potassium by mass using soluble compounds containing those elements. Additionally, a goal of Day 1 was to attempt to keep the pH of the final fertilizer within 6 and 7, although if the pH was outside this range it was not necessary to adjust the pH of the fertilizer to fit within this range.

After putting the CH2Cl2 to a beaker containing the drying agent anhydrous sodium sulfate, a sticky white solid was recovered.

Resting metabolic rate is the energy requirement to sustain dynamic tasks while lying silently in a supine position. The resting metabolic rate could be measured by using an indirect calorimetry because it measures the energy expenditure from oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production. The ideal purpose of the lab is to predict a person’s resting metabolic rate by measuring oxygen uptake with the determination of RMR via estimation

Notice the list of deliverables toward the end of the information. Part 1 includes deliverables 1-4.

A negative energy balance is the goal for weight loss. For weight loss, the BMR, caloric intake, and caloric expenditure are analyzed. It is necessary to determine the kilocalorie adjustment needed for weight loss (see Table 2). For proper energy balance during weight reduction ½ of the reduction should come from a reduction in caloric intake, and ½ should be derived from increased physical activity. A neutral energy balance must be met for weight maintenance.

Carry out an experiment to measure the heart rate and ventilation rate before, during and after moderate exercise.
