J is desperate to drop 45 pounds before her wedding day in 3

J is desperate to drop 45 pounds before her wedding day in 3 months. She plans to only eat one salad a day and exercise at least twice a day everyday.

1. Would the nurse consider this a good plan? Why or why not?

2. What is the role of ATP in cell metabolism?

3. Describe the difference between anaerobic and aerobic metabolism?

J comments, “I just want to get rid of all this fat on my body. I want to be skinny.”

      4. What is adipose tissue, and what are some functions of adipocytes?

Solution

Qu-1. Would the nurse consider this a good plan? Why or why not?

No, this \"diet plan\" is not a good plan to get rid your fat or adipose from the body to lose 45 pounds of the total body weight before wedding day in 3 months because \"eating one salad\" a day is going to provide extreme hypoglycemia with inadequate supply of brain glucose to function. Exercising at least twice a day with diet plan of eating \"one salad\" produce low levels of active glucose for both muscle and brain may lead to severe hypoglycemia and shock

que-2. What is the role of ATP in cell metabolism?

Adenosine-5’-triphosphate is potential nucleotide molecule that has a ribose sugar with three phosphate groups and in aqueous environment it acts as coenzyme and allosteric modulator for the both prokaryotic and eukaryotic metabolism via fermentation, cellular respiration and photosynthesis (cell metabolism). In eukaryotes, ATP produced as energy currency of the cell in mitochondria

Qu-3. Describe the difference between anaerobic and aerobic metabolism?

Aerboic respiration takes place in the presence of O2 and performs its cellular respiration in the presence of oxygen,

Citric acid cycle and electron transport are going to takes place in the presence of oxygen in mitochondria to generate ATP

The overall balanced reaction of cellular respiration in the presence of O2 is:

CHO + 6O 6CO + 6HO + ATP                   

Glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water + energy

Anaerobic respiration is going to takes place in the absence of oxygen result in generation of ATP, an example of anaerobic metabolism is \"glycolysis\" & fermentation

Each glucose molecule undergoes glycolytic fermentation and result in two pyruvate molecules by pyruvate decarboxylase

C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose)+ 2 ADP + 2 Pi (inorganic phosphate) + 2 NAD+ 2 CH₃COCOO (pyruvate) + 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2 H₂O + 2 H+

Through substrate level phosphorylation, glycolysis of glucose delivers 2 NAD+ molecules into NADH through reduction, two ATP molecules will be produced along with water molecules.
