Question:
What is the name for the active form of vitamin D?
Answer:
Calcitriol
Calcitriol, also called 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, is the active form of
vitamin D. Vitamin D can be absorbed and metabolized through sunlight and/or dietary intake. Cholesterol
is a precursor for vitamin D metabolism. To metabolize vitamin D by sunlight, first our skin absorbs
previtamin D in the form of 7-dehydrocholestrol to become precalciferol (previtamin D3). Thermal
isomerization occurs to produce cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Cholecalciferol is the form of vitamin D
found in animal food products. Then, cholecalciferol goes to the liver and converts to 25-OH-D3
(calcidiol), which is the storage form of vitamin D. This form travels to the kidneys to become
1,25-OH2-D3 (calcitriol), which is the active form of vitamin D.

The moving average model is a time series method of forecasting where a group of past records are
averaged and used as the forecast. The next forecast (second) is calculated by dropping the first number
and adding the next. To solve for the second forecast (total of days 2 through 8): 54+60+56+53+63+69+62

HCl stomach secretion in the elderly.

Maggie uses a systems approach by considering both the external and internal environments that can
impact her company before making a decision or allocating resources. Ted uses a traditional or classical
approach by administering work in a scalar principle, where authority and responsibility flow in a one-way
direction from high to low. Martha uses a human relations or Theory Z approach by preaching to her
employees that everyone is involved in the decision-making process and that employee involvement is the
key to productivity. Jeff uses a transformational management style where he uses activities to transform
inputs to outputs to link, manage, and build functional systems by inspiring agents of change.
Question:
Greg is a marathon runner who weighs 63 kilograms and is 65 inches tall. During his last marathon, he lost
3.5 pounds of sweat. How much fluid should he have drunk during the race?
, Answer:
Correct answer: 56 oz.
During endurance exercise, athletes should replace 100% of fluids lost during moderate to vigorous
activity. For example, Greg lost 3.5 pounds (3.5 pounds = 56 ounces) so he should have drunk 56 oz. of
fluid to replace 100% of his loss.
Question:
84 oz 56 oz 63 oz
3.5oz
Answer:
The amount of fluids required during exercise can increase for high heat, high altitude, and/or high
humidity situations. After endurance exercise, athletes should replace 100-150% of fluids lost during
moderate to vigorous activity with carbohydrates and electrolytes (Na) to rehydrate. For example, Greg
lost 3.5 pounds during exercise so he should drink 84 oz. to replace 150% of his losses (3.5 pounds = 56
ounces x 1.5 = 84 oz.).
