Discuss the components of the energy drinks mentioned in the article (pg. 5-8) and evaluate which component contributes most to

calories?
What is a calorie?-A calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. Our bodies’ store and "burn" calories as fuel.

Some ingredients (such as caffeine) do not have a metabolic energy source, but provide the perception of increased energy after consumption. How?

With a partner, use reasoning skill to reach conclusion about caffeine, an important component of energy drinks.

Answer:

caffeine is a stimulant of the central nervous system

Explanation:

Caffeine is a substance that acts on the central nervous system to increase the resting metabolic rate, thereby energy drinks with caffeine can increase the number of calories burned at rest. Energy drinks are generally composed of stimulants such as, for example, caffeine, taurine and glucuronolactone, in addition to substances associated with mental alertness (e.g., B vitamins, panax ginseng root extract, L-carnitine, etc). It has been shown that the overdose of caffeine may be associated with palpitations, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes (caffeine reduces insulin sensitivity), etc. Moreover, it is also important to highlight that energy drinks generally contain high sugar levels (around 40 grams of sugar for each beverage). In consequence, well-reputed health organizations discourage the use of energy drinks in order to avoid stimulant ingredients and reduce the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages.

Why is it important to prevent gorillas from becoming extinct?
krek1111 [17]
Gorillas are a predator. They eat food and rarely ever get killed for food. But if we take away their habitat by making buildings and houses then they will die for other causes like hunger. If the gorillas go extinct then the food change will get all messed up. The food they normally eat will over populate meaning the food gorillas eat (like fruit) will over populates and take over the area. That means it will start to take up the space that other plants need to grow. The other plants that other animals will need to eat will slowly start moving away because their food is dying. They will start to go somewhere else and mess up that habitat too. Those animals will eat the food needed by the animals that lived there originally and food will become scarce for animals that all need the same type of resources.

8-4 Discounting the Transverse Carrier Model. At one time, membrane biologists thought that transport proteins might act by bind
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The two main reasons are nonpolar core of the bilayer and the active transport.

Explanation:

The membrane is structured to have two outer layers that are polar and an inner layer that is nonpolar.

If a membrane protein is exposed to the solvent, i<em>t will also have a polar side. It would be very difficult for the polar face of the membrane to move through the nonpolar core of the bilayer.</em> Therefore, this model is not feasible.

One major form of transport, active transport, moves solutes up the concentration gradient. <em>The binding of a solute and then release on another side of the membrane would only work for facilitated diffusion because it would cause a net movement of solutes down the concentration gradient.</em> It is unclear how energy could be expended to drive this process in the transverse carrier model.<em> Therefore, the transverse carrier model does not explain active transport.</em>
