Question
Chapter 12, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The difference in the composition of the body fat of hibernators and non-hibernators needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The hibernators are essential to feed on plants and it includeslow melting points so it can tolerate low melting points. Lipids are used as energy in hibernation because lipids have low melting points.

Before vigorous exercise (at rest) the level of blood lactate is at its normal level (about 25 mM). During a 400 m sprint, the value rises sharply in less than a few minutes to about 200 mM and then declines slowly to around 40 mM over 60 mins after the sprint. a. Discuss (or illustrate) the pathway and reactions that cause the rapid increase in lactate concentration during the sprint. b. What causes the slow decline in lactate concentration after the sprint? Why does the decrease occur more slowly than the rapid increase? c.

The energy for ATP synthesis from ADP and Pi is provided by the downhill transport of protons through the rotary FoF1 ATP synthase (lecture 22). The enzyme has 3 a-b and 12 ‘c’ subunits.
