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.

14. What two things limit the size of cells?
sergiy2304 [10]
14. Surface Area , and Volume Area limits the size of cells.

15 .A cell is a metabolic compartment where a multitude of chemical reactions occur. The number of reactions increase as the volume of metabolic volume within a cell increases. (The larger the volume the larger the number of reactions)  
All raw materials necessary for metabolism can enter the cell only through its cell membrane.  
The greater the surface area the larger the amount of raw materials that can enter at only one time.  
Each unit of volume requires a specific amount of surface area to supply its metabolism with raw materials. The amount of surface area available to each unit of volume varies with the size of a cell.  
As a cell grows its SA/V decreases.  
At some point in its growth its SA/V becomes so small that its surface area is too small to supply its raw materials to its volume. At this point the cell cannot get larger.

16. Cells only divide when they receive specific signals from proteins called mitogens,the presence of mitogens can limit cell division. Mitogens are needed for cell division in healthy cells and are released depending on what cells the body needs.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

The gravitional pull of the Earth

Explanation:

Anything that has mass also has gravity. Objects with more mass have more gravity. Gravity also gets weaker with distance. So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is. Since the earth has more it will cuase you to be, almost attracted by it.

Also, Gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates the two bodies. Hence gravity will decrease as one will go higher in altitude, and hence away from the center of mass.

But since your falling from a plane, or some other type of aircraft, your moving closer to the center of mass, hence your gravitational pull get stronger as you falling closer-and-closer to the ground.
