Question
Chapter 50.4, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The predictions related to the synthesis of an active form of vitamin D in mammals using the energy of sunlight.
Introduction: Skin cells in the mammals that are receiving regular exposure to sunlight produces vitamin D from the precursor 7-dehydrocholesterol. This reaction in skin cells for the production of vitamin D requires UV light also.

Small mammalian hibernators can withstand body temperatures of 0° C to 5°C without injury. However, the body fats of most mammals have melting temperatures of approximately 25° C. Predict how the composition of the body fat of hibernators might differ from that of their nonhibernating cousins.

B: Aerobic respiration primarily uses carbohydrates to produce energy, while anaerobic respiration uses lipids
C: Aerobic respiration produced ATP as the primary energy molecules, while anaerobic respiration produces ADP
D: Aerobic respiration requires enzymes to facilitate its biochemical reactions, whereas anaerobic respiration does not use enzymes

- When young rats are placed on a completely fat-free diet, they grow poorly, develop a scaly dermatitis, lose hair, and soon die. These symptoms can be prevented if linoleate or plant material is included in the diet. What makes linoleate an essential fatty acid? Animals lack the enzymes required to synthesize long-chain fatty acids with 14 or more carbons. Animals lack the enzymes required to synthesize odd-number fatty acids. Animals lack the enzymes required to synthesize polyunsaturated fatty acids. Animals lack the enzymes required to introduce double bonds into fatty acids beyond the A9 position.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is an example of negative feedback in animals? A. a mother in labor B. ripening of fruit C. human body at 37 degrees celsius D. photosynthesis in plantsarrow_forwardYeast have mitochondria and can perform cellular respiration. What would you expect to be consumed and produced during the process of cellular respiration in yeast?A. Glucose and O2 consumed; C02,H20, and energy produced B.

- How does cellular respiration differ in prokaryotes and eukaryotes? A. Eukaryotes perform reactions in mitochondria; prokaryotes use the plasma membrane. B. Eukaryotes use substrate-level ATP synthesis; prokaryotes use oxidative phosphorylation. C. Eukaryotes do not use oxygen; prokaryotes only use oxygen. D. Eukaryotes use NAD+/NADH as electron acceptors; prokaryotes use FAD+/FADH2.arrow_forward49arrow_forwardWhat impact might a substance that blocks the binding of NAD+ to electrons have on cellular respiration and metabolism (weight). The substance has no effect on hunger and only impacts the rate of cellular respiration and the fuel sources already available in the body! Group of answer choices Will promote weight loss because cellular respiration would increase because more fuel would need to be metabolized to generate the needed ATP Will promote weight loss because cellular respiration would slow down because there is nowhere for the electrons to go Will promote weight gain because cellular respiration would slow down because there is nowhere for the electrons to go Will promote weight gain because cellular respiration would increase because more fuel would need to be metabolized to generate the needed ATParrow_forward
- Why are cattle able to survive, grow, and reproduce on a plant diet which does not contain most of the essential amino acids required for their health? Select one: a. Their saliva has cellulase and can therefore digest cellulose present in plant cell walls b. Like rabbits, cattle can re-ingest their feces c. Bacteria in their rumen synthesize essential amino acids from digested plant material d. They are unique in that they can synthesize all essential amino acids in their liver from a variety of metabolic precursors e. They are autotrophsarrow_forwardWhat is the molecule produced by mitochondria that is the source of energy for living things?

Both cell types have an abundance of mitochondria for ATP production- the chief cells need energy to synthesize pepsinogen, and the parietal cells need energy to transport hydrogen ions. (H+) and chloride ions (Cl-) from the blood into the stomach lumen. Only one of these cell types has an extensive rough endoplasmic reticulum and abundant Golgi stacks. Would this be the chief cells or the parietal cell? parietal cells.arrow_forward
