Question
Chapter 27, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the statement, adipose tissue is not only the storage site of fat, should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Adipose tissue is a connective tissue, which is composed of adipocytes. Its main function is to store fat in it and insulate and cushioning the body. This tissue is located below the skin, bone marrow, internal organs, and breast tissue. Adipose tissue helps in maintaining glucose, sex hormones, and cholesterol.

. Liver is primarily a gluconeogenic tissue, whereas muscle is primarily glycolytic. Why does this division of labor makegood physiological sense?
Sports physiologists at an Olympic training center wanted to monitor athletes to determine at what point their muscles were functioning anaerobically. For this purpose, new biosensors, applied like a temporary tattoo to the skin, were developed and can alert endurance athletes that they are about to "hit the wall" and will find it difficult to continue exercising. These biosensors monitor lactate present in sweat during strenuous exercise. Propose a hypothesis to explain how lactate can be used as an indicator of exercise capacity.
adipokines with osteoblast activity are in which of the following types of adipose tissue?
- Beige adipose tisuue
-white adipose tissue
-Bone marrow adipose tissue
-Brown Adipose

- Adipose tissue easily and frequently converts glucose to what?arrow_forward(b) The GLUT system is highly selective for glucose. It also speeds up the rate of glucose transport across the membrane by as much as 100-fold when compared to the passive diffusion of glucose across a bilayer in the absence of any transport system. While impressive, this rate of transport is much slower than purely diffusion limited rate of movement (ie. the fastest a molecule can move by diffusion). Given this fact, on the blank plot below draw the expected relationship between the rate of GLUT-mediated transport and increasing [glucose]? Use the space below the graph to explain your answer. fast Transport Rate slow low [glucose] high (c) Next, use a dashed line on the same plot above to draw the shape of the curve when the amount of GLUT transporters in the membrane is cut in half.

- Protein is essential to the building block of muscles. Muscle protein synthesis is a naturally occurring process in which protein is produced to repair muscle damage caused by intense exercise. It is an opposing force to muscle protein breakdown (MPB) in which protein is lost as a result of exercise.

For example, you are an athlete, and you want to maintain the strength and mass of your muscles. 1. How important is protein synthesis in your body?2.
