METABOLISM AND NUTRITION
STUDY QUESTIONS
1. How does vasoconstriction help increase the core temperature of the body?
2. Insulin is released when food is ingested and stimulates the uptake of glucose into the cell. Discuss the mechanism cells employ to create a concentration gra- dient to ensure continual uptake of glucose from the bloodstream.
3. If a diabetic’s breath smells like alcohol, what could this mean?
4. How can the ingestion of food increase the body temperature?
5. Explain how glucose is metabolized to yield ATP.
