(3) Convection is the process of replacing the warm air around the body with cooler air and thus removing body heat. (4) Evaporation cools by removing large amounts of heat as water changes state from liquid to gas.

What is the significance of the fact that monosaccharides are phosphorylated immediately upon entry into cells? Answer: Monosaccharides are phosphorylated immediately upon entry into cells so that entry into metabolic pathways is possible. Additionally, phosphorylation, to change the structure of glucose, allows the maintenance of a diffusion gradient for simple glucose. Phosphorylation also prevents glucose from leaving the cell.

Gregor, a large beefy man, came home from the doctor's office and complained to his wife that his blood tests "were bad." He told her that the doctor said he would have to give up some of his steaks and butter. He went on to mourn the fact that he would have to start eating more cottage cheese and olive oil instead. What kind of problem was revealed by his "bad" blood tests? How should his wife respond to his choice of food substitutes and why? What foods should she suggest?

Gregor's blood tests probably revealed high cholesterol and high triglyceride levels. Cutting down on saturated fats such as steak and butter is a good idea. The fat in cottage cheese is also saturated and should be ingested in moderation. Gregor should increase his intake of the unsaturated fats such as olive oil and also add omega-3 fatty acids from fish. Gregor can replace the animal proteins with soy proteins to further lower his cholesterol levels. In addition to dietary changes Gregor needs to begin exercising to further lower his levels and help with his "bad" blood results.

In the 1940s some physicians prescribed low doses of a chemical called dinitrophenol(DNP) to help patients lose weight. This drug therapy was band after a few patients died. DNP uncouples the chemiosmotic machinery. Explain how this causes weight loss.

The chemiosmotic machinery concerns the operation of the electron transport chain and generation of the proton gradient during which most ATP is harvested in the mitochondria. If uncoupled, cells will use more and more nutrients in an effort to generate needed ATP, leaving fewer "calories" for protein synthesis and tissue maintenance.

Which portion of the small intestine is the longest?

The ileum is the longest part of the small intestine.

Calculate the number of ATP molecules that can be harvested during the complete oxidation of an 18-carbon fatty-acid.

The number of ATP molecules resulting from the complete oxidation of a particular fatty acid can be calculated easily by counting the number of carbon atoms in the fatty acid and dividing by two to determine the number of acetyl CoA molecules produced. For our example, an 18-carbon fatty acid yields 9 acetyl CoA molecules. Because each of these yield 12 ATP molecules per turn of the Krebs cycle, a total of 108 ATP molecules is provided from the oxidative pathways: 9 from electron transport oxidation of 3 NADH + H+, 2 from the oxidation of 1 FADH2, and a net yield of 1 ATP during the Krebs cycle. Also, for every acetyl CoA released during beta oxidation, an additional molecule each of NADH + H+ and FADH2 is produced, which, when reoxidized, yield a total of 5 ATP molecules more. In an 18-carbon fatty acid, this would occur 8 times, yielding 40 more ATP molecules. After subtracting the ATP needed to get the process going, this adds up to a grand total of 147 ATP molecules from that single 18-carbon fatty acid!
