You are working as exercise physiologist for a company and your job includes tests to measure fat oxidation rate (lipid metabolism) during exercise. One individual, who is on a normal diet, did not follow recommendations for fasting and consumed a high fat meal 1-2 hr prior to testing. The fat oxidation response of the individual during prolonged moderate intensity exercise was 30% higher than normal compared to subjects of same age, sex, exercise capacity, and daily diet.

What are possible causes for higher rate of fat oxidation during exercise? Explain the mechanisms involved. Focus on determinants of lipid utilization during exercise

1. The three-dimensional shape of a protein determines its function. Briefly explain these terms as they relate to protein shape and provide a supporting example for each: denature, conformational change, genetic mutation. Each example must include a specific protein.

2. Compare and contrast simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion. In other words, how are they similar and how are they different? Provide supporting examples for each.
