Question

Describe the normal biochemical and/or physiological process and identify how it confers a benefit to an organism in dealing with an environmental stressor. Next, explain why an over-active response could become a biochemical or physiological issue. Give an example of an organism that this issue of “too much of a good thing” relates to, specifying the benefits and costs. Does the example organism you chose successfully deal with the potential for an over-active response, or not? What is the outcome?

3) Heat shock protein expression

Answer 1

The best organism to describe dealing with an environmental stressor is a Human being.

The process of oxidative phosphorylation in the human being is best understood which is required to produce ATP from the energy reserves of NADH and FADH2.

ATP uncouplers such as thermogenin are used to release heat during the process of thermogenesis.
