Answer #1

Ans 9) The correct option is "b" . Brown fat poduces a great deal of heat as a result of the presence of thermogenin (Thermogenin is the uncoupling protein and thus mitocondria can produce heat instead of ATP when thermogenin is active).

Option "c" is incorrect. Hibernating bears have infact high amount of Brown fat adipose tissue which helps to keep them warm in cold conditions by the generation of heat. It also plays insulator role and avoid the loss of of heat into the envirnonment. This is how they can tolerate cold conditions by maintaining heat inside the body.

Option "a" and "d" are incorrect

    please answer all 1. A type of adipose tissue in many organisms is called brown fat. Which of the following statements is correct for brown fat? Hibernating bears have very little of this type of adipose tissue. It produces a great deal of heat as a result of the presence of thermogenin. The efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation is high in this tissue. Its color is derived from high blood supply. 2. What statement illustrates the role of Ca2+ in regulation...

    Most newborn mammals, including human infants, have a special type of adipose tissue called brown fat, in which a naturally occurring uncoupling protein called thermogenin is present in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Thermogenin uncouples ATP synthesis from electron transport so that the energy released as electrons flow through the electron transport chain is lost as heat instead. What kind of an experiment can you suggest to test your hypothesis? Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on...

    Hibernating animals and human infants contain brown fat deposits, so-called because of the presence of large numbers of mitochondria, the site of electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation. In brown fat, given the appropriate stimulus, oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport can be uncoupled, causing energy to be dissipated as heat. The protein responsible for the uncoupling is a brown fat inner mitochondrial membrane protein previously named UCP (for uncoupling protein), but now referred to as UCP1, since a second uncoupling protein...

    CODE 102_8 Welding Many welding processes require the application of heat and/or pressure to produce a suitable bond between the two parts being joined. There are a number of conventional and commercially practiced welding processes, which possess limitations in relation to material type and thickness, and in addition, the cost analysis may not allow for a process to be used on a specific application. The selection of suitable welding consumable (electrode or wire) is also an important factor in producing...

    Name: Integumentary System Case Study: Jon's Story (Each question is worth 0.5 pts) At 63 years old, Jon was retiring early by most people's standards, but he felt it was time and he was looking forward to it. His mind wandered as he raked the dry remnants of his front yard. The African summer had been hotter than usual but he had always worked outdoors and the warmth of the sun on his face felt good. Jon had grown up...

    10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...

    2. A dominant allele H reduces the number of body bristles that Drosophila flies have, giving rise to a “hairless” phenotype. In the homozygous condition, H is lethal. An independently assorting dominant allele S has no effect on bristle number except in the presence of H, in which case a single dose of S suppresses the hairless phenotype, thus restoring the "hairy" phenotype. However, S also is lethal in the homozygous (S/S) condition. What ratio of hairy to hairless flies...
