Why was Heinemann’s hypothesis that a metabolic oscillator might set the pace for cell division a good bet? (Hint: What does a cell need to carry out cellular work?)​

In this week’s forum article, Nutrient Utilization in Humans: Metabolism Pathways,(http://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/nutrient-utilization-in-humans-metabolism-pathways-14234029) the types of molecules and the mechanisms by which the potential chemical energy in those molecules is transformed into the type of energy capable of powering cellular work is discussed. After reading the article, answer the questions listed below. ( Read the article and answer the following questions)

1. What was Antoine Lavoisier’s major contribution to our understanding of energy metabolism in living organisms?

2. Max Rubner showed that carbohydrates and proteins produce approximately 4 Kcal/g of energy when oxidized, whereas lipids generate up to 9 Kcal/g. How can this difference be explained?

3. This article points out that a major misconception, especially for many undergraduates, is that human cells only use glucose as a fuel source. In fact, all three major absorbed end products of the digestion of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins can be utilized by most cells for the generation of ATP. What serves as the major entry point (mechanism) for these different classes of molecules that makes it possible for them to serve as fuel for ATP production? Why does this mechanism not work in the absence of oxygen? Hint: consider glycolysis and fermentation.

4. Although many of the approximately 200 cell types in the human body can utilize all three major classes of food molecules for energy, not all can. Why? Provide an example.

. Find a science news report, from either a science-specific or mainstream media news source. The report must present findings from an experimental study. After reading/watching/listening to the piece, summarize the content. In your summary:

• Cite the news source and provide a link to the story

• Summarize the report •

In a paragraph, evaluate the science and the accuracy of the science reporting. Use the chart provided in the assignment link to determine:

o Does the science appear to be well designed and executed?

o Statement supported (questions Science accurate?What is the basis for the story?What is the affiliation of the scientist?What is the funding source for the study?If the hypothesis test is a correlation?Was the sample of individuals in the experiment a good cross selection of the population?Was the data collected from a relatively large number of study subjects?Were participants blind to the group they belonged to and/or the “expected outcome” of the study?)

o Is the science reporting balanced and accurate?

o Statement supported (questions Were data collectors and/or analysts blinded to the group membership of participants in the study?Is the science reporting balanced and accurate?Did the news reporter put the study in the context of other research on the same subject?)

• What audience is this article addressed to – who would care about this topic? Why did this topic gain media attention? • Writing and grammar

Important Notes

• The news report must be insect related!

• The news report must present science! (A story about someone’s home being overrun by a pest insect species is not science.)

• The news report must be about an experimental study! (If in doubt, email me and ask!) • The news report must be from the last 12 months.

-Please do not use direct quotes from the article-

2. Hypotheses:

a) What are the hypotheses? (list all hypotheses proposed)

b) Is the reasoning behind the hypotheses explained? What is the logic behind each hypothesis?

3. Introduction:

a) Does the introduction provide appropriate background for the study? Why or why not?


b) Is the introduction missing useful information that would have been helpful? If so, explain. For example, did you have to look up any additional information?

c) Is the relevance of the work clear? What is the relevance of the work?

4. Methods:

a) Summarize the methods that were used.

b) Were the methods appropriate? {Was this the best way to test the hypotheses? Were there problems with the methodology (if so describe them)?}

5. Analysis:

a) Were there any problems with the data analysis, including use of statistics?

b) Did the authors present quantitative data in a clear way (use of graphs/tables)?

6. Your OWN assessment of the results:

a) List YOUR conclusions from the DATA presented?

b) Do you feel that the author's conclusions are reasonable and justified? If there are any problems with the author’s conclusions, explain them.

c) Does the author ignore any aspects of the results?

7. Discussion:

a) Did the authors compare their results with previous published papers? If so, provide at least 1 example.

b) Are the implications of the results properly discussed (how do these results relate back to the “big picture” of what is being studied)? What are the implications?

c) Are the conclusions clearly stated? If so, what are they?

d) In addition to what the authors discussed, what further studies would YOU find interesting to pursue?

8. Abstract (if there is one):

a) Does the Abstract really give an appropriate summary of the paper?
