Question

CONNECT WITH THE CONCEPTSs 1. The three-dimensional structure of proteins is critical to maintaining its function. Explain what is the effect of high fever on human body and why is it considered so dangerous. 2. Cellulose is a polysaccharide and is commonly found in high fiber foods. Humans cannot digest cellulose. Search the internet and find out why not? In spite of the fact that we cannot digest cellulose, foods rich in high fibers are recommended for good health. Explain why. Mary is 50 years old and she just got diagnosed with diabetes -the "sugar" disease. She claims that she does not consume desserts and does not add sugar to her coffee. List what other foods may be causing her sugar levels to rise and why? 3. Search the internet to find out what is produced (or not produced!) by the body that may also be the cause of her disease.

Explanation / Answer

1. the high fever is caused due to many reaseons such as severe infections .hyperexia is the exterme elevation of the temperature .the most common cause may be due to inetrnal heamorrage .exterme tempearture in the body causes associated with the heat stroke .temparture in the body is controlled by the hypothalamus ,a trigger of high fever will cause production of prostagladins which furthuer increase the body temperature by systemic response .hypothalamus is called theromstat of the body .high fever causes the denaturation of the proteins bond there by effecting the protein structure ,without proper structure the protein cannot function properly .

2. cellulose is a polysacharride which has the beta linkages , beta 1-4 linkages ,there is no enzyme which can be digest cellulose in the human body .cellulase enzyme can digest the beta 1-4 linkage and forms the monomers of the glucose which is present in the cattle and also some anerobic bacteria will also have cellulase enzyme . humans lack cellulase enzme to digest cellulose

3. the high sugar can be due to food which has sugar content in it such as rice ,bread , milk , banana or any fruit ,high fructose corn syrup, ripened . rice ,bread banana has high content of complex sugars such as glucose monmers which furthur lead to the increase in high sugar in the body .milk contain a lactose which is also causes the high sugar in the body . body produces the two main hormones glucagon and insulin to regulate the high sugar in the body , improper fuctioning of these two hormones lead to the high sugar .insulin and glucagon works antagonist to each other
