To draw: The graph that would represent the results from the “study of the correlation between the activity levels of brown fat tissue in research participants, following exposure to cold and their percentage of body fats.”
Introduction:
Brown fat cells generate heat during
To propose: The two hypotheses that can explain these results.
Introduction:
Brown fat cells generate heat during cellular respiration, instead of ATP. Brown fat keeps infants warm. The mitochondria of brown fats have channels that disperse the H+ gradient that the electron transport chain had produced. In this case, the H+ ions do not pass through the ATP synthase. Therefore, ATP is not produced.

- The hormone insulin enhances the transport of glucose (sugar) from the blood into most body cells. Its secretion is controlled by a negative-feedback system between the concentration of glucose in the blood and the insulin-secreting cells. Therefore, which of the following statements is correct? A decrease in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn further towers blood glucose concentration. An increase in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn lowers blood glucose concentration. A decrease in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn increases blood glucose concentration. An increase in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn further increases blood glucose concentration. None of the preceding is correct.arrow_forwardBiting flies can transmit diseases and cause loss of blood for animals in nature. Horses have developed behaviors to repel biting flies such as ear twitching, head tossing, leg stomping, and tail swishing. Which statement best describes the interaction between body systems that allows horses to repel biting flies?arrow_forwardResearch the behaviours of a specific ectothermic animal. How do specific behaviours allow for the animal to control its body temperature in cool and hot conditions? How do specific parts of the animal’s anatomy help with thermoregulation? Use a feedback diagram to show how this animal uses thermoregulation in one of these conditions: ectotherm in cool conditions ectotherm in hot conditions Be sure to use ⊕ and ⊝ symbols in the feedback diagram to add important details.arrow_forward
- Assess the way fat accumulates on you or someone you know. Include the following: Describe the way fat accumulates on the body Explain at least two health risks of this fat distribution and two specific ways that you can prevent these risks through diet and exercisearrow_forwardThe range of regulated body temperatures in mammals is about 36 to 40°C , while in birds it is slightly higher, 38 to 42°C, close to the limit compatible with life. Why do you imagine birds maintain higher body temperatures thanmammals? Do you think eagles and hummingbirds maintain the same body temperatures? Explain.arrow_forwardin few sentence explain why is the importance of warming up? What physiological changes occur?arrow_forward
- How does the size of an endotherm change their metabolic rate? 1. Make a claim that answers this question. 2. Describe evidence that supports this claim. 3. Offer possible reasoning that explains the evidence and claim using biological ideas.arrow_forwardBody temperature is homeostatically regulated around a set point. Given your knowledge of negative feedback and homeostatic control systems, predict whether narrowing or widening of the blood vessels of the skin will occur when a person exercises strenuously?arrow_forwardAccording to one hypothesis about the expansion of brain size, what tissue might have been sacrificed so energy was available to grow our larger brain? Based on what you know about that tissue and nervous tissue, why would there be a trade-off between them in terms of energy use?arrow_forward
- Muscles are made of a) Silica b) Polyesters threads c) Calcium and phosphorous d) Groups of cells called Fibersarrow_forwardYou are studying a large tropical reptile that has a high and relatively stable body temperature. How do you determine whether this animal is an endotherm or an ectotherm? (A) You know from its high and stable body temperature that it must be an endotherm. (B) You subject this reptile to various temperatures in the lab and find that its body temperature and metabolic rate change with the ambient temperature. You conclude that it is an ectotherm. (C) You note that its environment has a high and stable temperature. Because its body temperature matches the environmental temperature, you conclude that it is an ectotherm. (D) You measure the metabolic rate of the reptile, and because it is higher than that of a related species that lives in temperate forests, you conclude that this reptile is an endotherm and its relative is an ectotherm.arrow_forwardThe process of digesting food requires work from the body. Why would you expect the body temperature to rise slightly after eating a big meal?arrow_forward
