Cellular Respiration Questions
questsion 1.
Energy output. The Gibb’s free energy value for glucose is -2870kJ/mol or -686kcal/mol. If the one molecule of ATP releases 30.5 kJ/mol or 7.3 kcal/mol, calculate the theoretical efficiency (showing your work) for cellular respiration and for anaerobic respiration.
Explain the difference between metabolic rate and basal metabolic rate (BMR).
What happens to BMR with age?
I would highly appreciate if it was in a text form not handwritten.( I have difficulty reading handwritten)
Thank you very much.

Explain what type of mechanism will be used to transport glucose from your intestine to your muscles. The relative levels of glucose are provided below.
a. Intestinal epithelium cell: high glucose to Interstitial fluid between intestinal cell and blood vessel: very low (blood vessels have “clefs” that glucose fits through to enter blood by bulk flow.)
b. Na+ is required for the transport into the intestinal epithelium cell. Why? How is the level of Na+ kept low in the intestinal cell?

You are on a clinical rotation at a local hospital and are
shadowing Nurses and hanging out at the nursing station. One of the
nurses who had just came out of the restroom from his third or
forth trip to the restroom collapsed at his desk. He has been
looking very pale and has been losing weight. You run to get the
attending physician. The physician took one look and said something
that sounded like "see dif" to the nursing instructor. She said he
has been taking antibiotics for a nasty sinus infection. You are
asked to prepare a written report on his condition, but are afraid
to ask what it is. Where do you look first? What is it? How is it
spread? Why is it hard to kill? Who is most affected by it?

In your own words, define each level of prevention.
Mammograms, which are x-rays used to detect breast cancer, are a classic example of secondary prevention. Do mammograms prevent breast cancer? Why or why not? What is the point of screenings such as mammograms?
Give 3 examples of interventions at each level of prevention (that are NOT listed on the website/chart above). Be specific about what intervention you are discussing and what disease it will prevent.
If a person has diabetes and you are educating them on the importance of limiting processed foods, which level of prevention would this fall into and why?
At which level should medical care/public health focus our efforts and why?
