During exercise, epinephrine and norepinephrine are released from the adrenal medulla. Epinephrine and norepinephrine have the s

ame effect on plasma glucose levels as glucagon. Explain how epinephrine and norepinephrine affect plasma glucose and why this is important during exercise.

Answer and explanation:

Epinephrine and norepinephrine are two hormones that are released from the adrenal medulla when the body is under stress (like during exercise, for example) as a part of the sympathetic response.

These hormones have many functions and they all work together to prepare the individual for a fight or flight response -<em> like increasing heart rate and producing bronchodilatation</em>. One of these functions is the rise of glucose levels in blood which is important for this substance to reach several tissues, like the skeletal muscle. The skeletal muscle will make use of this glucose to produce ATP and generate the required energy for muscle contraction through a process called glycolysis, which is key for the fight or flight response mentioned above.

When we exercise, glucose levels rise thanks to these hormones so the skeletal muscle can have enough energy to contract and move as we want. If the exercise is too intense or prolongued, glucose levels will drop and other fuels will be needed to sustain this activity, like stored glycogen and fat.

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Hyphae: Cell filaments,mostly septate

Mycelium: Mass of hyphae

Molds: mostly filamentous, Yeasts: non-filamentous,unicellular fungi

Budding yeasts divide asymmetrically.

Dimorphic fungi: yeast-like at 37°C, mold-like at 25°C.

Fungal spores are reproductive spores (unlike bacterial spores). Used to differentiate fungi.

Growth in acidic, low-moisture, high osmotic pressure environments.

The thallus (body) of a mold or fleshy fungus consists of long filaments of cells joined together; these filaments are called hyphae. Hyphae can grow to immense proportions. The hyphae of a single fungus in Oregon extend across 3.5 miles.

In most molds, the hyphae contain cross-walls called septa (singular: septum), which divide them into distinct, uninucleate (one-nucleus) cell-like units. These hyphae are called septate hyphae. In a few classes of fungi, the hyphae contain no septa and appear as long, continuous cells with many nuclei. These are called coenocytic hyphae. Even in fungi with septate hyphae, there are usually openings in the septa that make the cytoplasm of adjacent "cells" continuous; these fungi are actually coenocytic organisms, too.

Mycelium a mass of long filaments of cells that bring and intertwine, typically found in molds.

A normal breath takes in about 1.0 L of air. If air has an average molar mass of 28.8 g per 1 mol and has a density of 0.97 g/mL
Ann [662]

Taking into account the definition of density and Avogadro's Number, you take 2.0286×10²⁵ molecules of air.

<h3>What is density</h3>

Density is defined as the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress into a given space.

In other words, density is a quantity that allows us to measure the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance.

Then, the expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

<h3>What is Avogadro's Number</h3>

Avogadro's Number or Avogadro's Constant is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023×10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.

<h3>Amount of molecules of air</h3>

In this case, you know that:

  • Density= 0.97 \frac{g}{mL}
  • Volume= 1 L= 1000 mL

Replacing in the definition of density:

0.97 \frac{g}{mL}=\frac{mass}{1000 mL}

Solving:

mass= 0.97 \frac{g}{mL}  ×1000 mL

<u><em>mass= 970 g</em></u>

Air has an average molar mass of 28.8 g per 1 mol. Then 970 grams are contained in 33.68 moles.

Now, considering the definition of Avogadro's number you can apply the following rule of three: If 1 mole of air contains 6.023×10²³ molecules, 33.68 moles contains how many molecules?

amount of molecules = (33.68 moles× 6.023×10²³ molecules)÷ 1 mole

<u><em>amount of molecules= 2.0286×10²⁵ molecules</em></u>

Finally, you take 2.0286×10²⁵ molecules of air.
