Question
True or false: Old people also have less effective regulation, due in part to their reduced ability to dissipate heat. One reason for this is sweat gland atrophy.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 9

Question
True or false: Old people also have less effective regulation, due in part to their reduced ability to generate heat. One reason for this is sweat gland atrophy.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 12

Question
True or false: Metabolism is defined as all the chemical processes involved in energy production, energy release, and growth.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 13

Question
Anabolic vs Catabolic:
Answer
  • Anabolic = FORMATION of substances
  • Anabolic = BREAKDOWN of substances
  • Catabolic = FORMATION of substances
  • Catabolic = BREAKDOWN of substances

Question 14

Question
Metabolic Rate (MR) = the rate at which energy is consumed during: (select all that apply)
Answer
  • internal work
  • external work
  • energy expenditure / unit of time
  • energy expenditure (independent of a unit of time)

Question 15

Question
BMR vs RMR The difference between BASAL metabolic rate and RESTING metabolic rate is:
Answer
  • Both are idling, but Basal is during minimal part of the day
  • Both are idling, but Resting is during minimal part of the day

Question 16

Question
Metabolic Rate (MR) depends on: (select all that apply)
Answer
  • Muscle activity (voluntary)
  • Muscle activity (involuntary)
  • Certain hormones
  • A rise in tissue temperature itself

Question 17

Question
Hormones that can influence Metabolic Rate (MR) include Thyroxine and Adrenaline. What effect can they have?
Answer
  • Adrenaline increases MR; Thyroxine decreases MR.
  • Adrenaline decreases MR; Thyroxine increases MR.
  • Both DECREASE MR.
  • Both INCREASE MR.

Question 18

Question
Under resting conditions, the rate of heat production is:
Answer
  • ~80 kcal/h
  • ~400-600 kcal/h
  • ~80-120 kcal/h
  • ~120-160 kcal/h
  • ~800 kcal/h

Question 19

Question
During a fast walk or jog, Metabolic Rate (MR) is increased to 400-600 kcal/h. In the absence of compensatory heat loss (sweating etc), this extra thermal load would increase Body Temperature by how much?
Answer
  • 1°C every 8-10 minutes
  • 1°C every minute
  • 1°C every hour
  • 1°C every 10-20 minutes
  • 1°C every 1-2 hours

Question 20

Question
The most common method to measure metabolic rate is:
Answer
  • Indirect calorimetry
  • Guesswork?

Question 21

Question
Animals including the stripe-faced dunnart (Sminthopsis macroura) are heterothermic. Heterotherms are:
Answer
  • Able to maintain homeothermic thermoregulation, but sometimes can enter torpor.
  • Animals which maintain thermoregulation collectively.

Question 22

Question
Torpor vs Hibernation. What's the difference?
Answer
  • Torpor lasts less than a day; Hibernation lasts longer than a day.
  • Torpor lasts less than a day; Hibernation is a multiday series of torpor bouts.

Question 23

Question
Torpor and hibernation use are found in which groups: (select all that apply)
