A deer eats 25kg of herbaceous material per day. The herbaceous material is approximately 20% dry matter(DM) and has an energy content of 10MJ. (kg DM^-1). Of the total energy ingested per day, 25% is excreted as undigested material. Of the 75% that is digested, 80% is lost to metabolic waste products and heat. The remaining 20% is converted to body tissue. How many MJ are converted to tissue on daily basis? Calculate the percentage of energy consumed that is converted to body tissue. Draw a schematic of energy balance.

How can you relate the Concept of Thermoregulation to your future professional clinical practice (I'm un nursing school), explain in ~ 150 words.?
When you jog, most of the food energy you burn above your basal metabolic rate (BMR) ends up as internal energy that would raise your body temperature if it were not eliminated. The evaporation of perspiration is the primary mechanism for eliminating this energy. Determine the amount of water you lose to evaporation when running for 32 minutes at a rate that uses 400 kcal/h above your BMR. (That amount is often considered to be the "maximum fat-burning" energy output. The latent heat of vaporization of water at room temperature is 2.5 106 J/kg.)The metabolism of 1 gram of fat generates approximately 8.65 kcal of energy and produces approximately 1 gram of water. (The hydrogen atoms in the fat molecule are transferred to oxygen to form water.) What fraction of your need for water will be provided by fat metabolism?
Explain the phrase “diet-induced thermogenesis” and relate it to the problem of obesity in some people. What other factors may contribute to human obesity?
The apparent digestibility, if the nutrient consumed is 95, and nutrient excreted is 35, is: use following equation Apparent digestibility = (Nutrients intake -nutrients in feces)/(nutrients i intake ) ×100 = ---- (%) 76% 17% 63.15% 35%
Describe thermoregulation in humans (i.e. what happens when body temperature falls or rises beyond the tolerance range?)
During extended fasting (≥ 4 days), what is/are the purpose(s) of tissue protein breakdown? Circle ALL that apply. a. Dispose of excess nitrogen groups so ammonia doesn't accumulate b. Provide precursors to the Liver, Kidney, Sm. Intestine for gluconeogenesis c. Provide precursors to the liver for ketogenesis d. Provide energy to the skeletal muscles through Amino Acid oxidation e.

State and recognize the three basic nutritional needs an organism’s diet must satisfy. List the basic stages of nutrition. Predict how perturbations in the hormones leptin and ghrelin influence appetite. Use the concept of pressure to describe the movement of water and nutrients in plant xylem and phloem and blood in vertebrates. Trace the flow of a drop of blood through the four chambers of the heart, the great vessels, lungs, and the blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries) in the systemic circulation in healthy people and people with various malformations of the heart or great vessels. Distinguish between systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Predict how perturbations in body posture or baroreceptors would affect homeostatic control of blood pressure.
