Document Summary
Body cannot tell diference between orange and blue, coninuously metabolized by the body. Exponenial decline of sampling for orange molecules, geing used up. Length of infusion is dependent on size of animal, to get to plateau. Faster metabolism would result in a lower raio of hot:cold molecules. Redundant feature of insulin & glucagon, but safety feature to maintain control. What has to happen in order for glucose to be metabolized. Go from extracellular luid (ecf) to intracellular (icf), cross cell membranes to be metabolized. Follows michaelis-menten kineics: not a straight line, curve that reaches a maximum because it gets maxed out by the number of glucose transporters that are present in the membrane o o. E+ s es p v = K m+[ s : describes saturaion curve, vmax describes how much protein there is, km is a dissociaion coeicient for the.
