What determined metabolic rate?
Hormones and the amount of E. Coli in the intestines, which help regulate the digestion process, are some of the things responsible for the metabolic rate.
Why do some people put weight on more easily than others?
Because they have a higher metabolic rate.
What can affect metabolic rate?
Your metabolic rate is the rate at which chemical reactions like respiration take place. Factors which affect your metabolic rate are things like excersise, the proportion of muscle to fat in your body and inherited factors such as gender, age and weight. The more energy you need to use, the higher your metabolic rate. This means that things which need more energy such as excersise, will increase your metabolic rate. Over weight people usually have higher metabolic rates than slim people because their bodies are larger so they need more energy to work. The more muscle you have, the more muscle cells you have. Muscle cells require lots of energy to contract and move limbs. So the more muscles you have the higher your metabolic rate. Your gender is important because men have more muscle than fat in their bodies meaning they need more energy and will therfore have higher metabolic rates. People under the age of 20 have higher metabolic rates because their muscles are still growing and need more energy to do so.
What leads to the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction?
Many things lead to an increase in the rate of chemical reactions. These factors include: - Addition of Catalysts - Light (only in some reactions) - Increase in temperature - Increase in Pressure - Increase in amount of reactants
What are some things you can do to increase the rate of dissolving a solid in a liquid?
heat
If propylthiouracil was injected what change in metabolic rate would you see in a hypophysectomized rat?
Purely guessing here, I'd assume a slowdown in overall metabolic rate. You've excised the pituitary gland, and adminsitered a thryoid antagonist. Unless there's some weird sympathetic reaction, a slowdown seems emminent.
What is the function of some enzymes is a seed during photosynthsis?
To increase the rate of photosynthesis
How do i increase respiratory minute volume?
in order to increase the amount air moving through the lungs every minute, you need to perform some sort of acute exercise which will also increase your breathing rate and heart rate.
Are Mice Nervous?
Not particularly, but depending on nutritional opportunities, some mice have a higher metabolic rate than others, with correspondingly higher levels of energy.
Which is a function of the thyroid gland?
The thyroid hormone regulates the basal metabolic rate. Your body is consuming some energy at rest. The amount of that energy is decided by the thyroid hormone. In hypothyroidism, you become lethargic. In hyperthyroidism, you become hyperactive.
Does going on a diet make your metabolic rate go high?
Depends on the diet. Whenever a person skips a meal, the metabolic rate goes down drastically. If a person eats three balanced meals a day with 2 healthy snacks in between (including lots of veggies and fruit), the metabolic rate will stay up. The breakfast should be the biggest meal including protein and some fat, the lunch should be smaller, and the supper should be the smallest meal of the day. Its important to eat more frequent, smaller meals, and to try not let your body feel hungry for more than a half hour. Exercise will boost the metabolic rate even more.
Is it possible for your marijuana count on a ua to go up without smoking it?
Yes if you engage in sudden activity, it will cause your metabolic rate to increase and your body will purge a higher concentration of the by-products of the drug in your urine. The bright side? Some people have reported that they were found to be clean in a week from vigorous exercise alone.
