You have a friend who lost 7 kg (about 15 pounds) of fat on a "raw food" diet. How did the fat leave his body? [Select the best answer.] It was converted to urine and eliminated from the body. It was broken down to amino acids and eliminated from the body. It was converted to ATP, which weighs much less than fat. Chemical energy was converted to heat and then released. It was released as CO₂ and H₂O.

Your body stores energy in the form of fat and other organic molecules. When your body needs extra energy, it breaks apart the molecules of fat to release that energy (sometimes called "burning fat"). That energy is used to power cellular reactions or is lost as heat. The total amount of energy used by your body or lost as heat equals the amount of energy the molecules of fat originally stored before breaking apart. This process is an example of the _________law of thermodynamics. A. first B. second
During cellular respiration, organic molecules (e.g., glucose) and oxygen are consumed, and carbon dioxide (CO2) and ATP are produced.What is happening to the energy in this system?1.Energy is being transformed from glucose into CO for immediate use in the body.2.Energy is being transformed from glucose into COy for long-term storage in the body3.Energy is being transformed from glucose into ATP for immediate use in the body.4. Energy is being transformed from glucose into ATP for long-term storage in the body
We should all know that a calorie is the measure of energy required to raise 1 g of water by 1°C. We all know that energy off our food is measured in Calories and that to lose weight we just need to use more than we take in. So how come this isn't a good strategy for weight loss: drink cold water. For every degree you heat up each gram, you'll burn a calorie. If a pound of fat is 3500 Calories, just drink 3500 g of water (3.5 liters) and for every degree it gets warmer in the stomach, you lose a pound. ?
Another student places some of the bread from their sandwich near these objects and leaves them overnight. The next day, they notice that some of the bread is gone and decide that these are living things and they ate the bread. Which is the best evaluation of their argument? (a) They are wrong, some living things eat food, but others get energy in other ways. (b) they are mostly wrong. Plants don’t need energy or food, they survive off of heat from light. These could be plants (c) They are somewhat correct. Some living things eat food, but others don’t need energy to survive (d) They are correct. All living things need energy and they must have eaten their bread.
The human body contains a large amount of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Which of the three would the body break apart for energy first, and why?
Birds undergo prolonged migratory flights, with some birds flying constantly for hours to days at a time. Flight is a highly energetically intensive activity. Which fuel (carbohydrates, fats, or lipids) do you think is the primary energy source?
Each day Aaron power-walks for 45 minutes. Which fuel source provides energy to the body’s cells during his activity? Question 11 options: a) Fatty acids and glucose b) Amino acids and glucose c) Glucose only d) Amino acids and fatty acids
Predict what would happen to the metabolic rate of the mouse if you increased the temperature. Predict what would happen to the metabolic rate of the mouse if you decreased the temperature (You can make this prediction with text or with lines on your graph). Support your prediction with evidence about endotherms and ectotherms. (Hint: Think about what happens to your body when you get hot or cold.)
An athlete is running a marathon. Her muscles are using ATP faster than it can be produced by aerobic cellular respiration. How does the runner continue the race? Select the best answer. Her muscle cells use lactic acid fermentation so that glycolysis can continue producing ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation. Her muscles fatigue and she has to stop. She should have carbohydrate-loaded the night before She should breath into a paper bag.
A high metabolic rate warms the animal from within, and insulation (such as fur and body fat) slows heat loss. Birds for example are warm-blooded animals that have high metabolism. During the winter, how do birds keep their body warm? The answers are found in their parts, their feathers, legs and feet, and their behavior like fluffing, shivering and roosting. How do their feathers, legs and feet help them regulate their body temperature? How do fluffing, shivering and roosting regulate bird's body temperature?
A student is sitting in class drinking a 16.9 fl oz bottle of arizona tea. The student isnt doing any activity, so the students body doenst need the sugar right away. What happens to all the sugar? USE THIS SENTENCE STARTER: the students body doesnt need the sugar so it will..
Some animals adjust their temperature by absorbing heat from their environment. These ectotherms ("cold blooded"), such as a snake or turtle, control temperature by moving to the sun or into the shade. As a result, their temperature fluctuates considerably through the day and night. Other animals generate heat internally. These endotherms (mammals and birds) burn fat and sugar to convert them to heat and so stabilize their body temperatures.
