Purpose
ENERGY.... We have the ability to break down organic compounds from the foods we consume. As a result, energy is transferred from the bonds of those compounds to manufacture high-energy compounds (e.g., ATP) that can be used for a wide variety of reactions in a cell. In this post, you will demonstrate an understanding of how energy is released from organic compounds.
Task
This week's discussion involves two parts. Be sure to completely respond to the prompts in your post.
Part 1: Discuss the various ways in which diet and physical fitness influence and connect with the processes of cellular respiration.
Part 2: What healthy (or unhealthy) habits do you practice that could affect your body's cellular respiration-related processes?
Example for Part 2: You may be passionate about running, lifting weights, or eating specific foods; How would that influence cellular respiration? On the flip-side, you may be willing to share an unhealthy habit you're trying to break. Why? How would changing that affect your health as it relates to your metabolism (cell respiration)? By not changing an unhealthy habit, how does it affect you?
NOTE: In order to create discussion "threads" or a continual discussion among groups of students, be sure to add a question at the end of each post. And don't forget to reply to at least 2 peers.
