A person will gain weight if he/she consumes food with more calories than he/she needs to provide the energy for body activities. Which explanation is correct? • The amount of ADP builds up in fat cells and muscle cells.
• Excess calories (energy) in the food are converted to fat molecules and stored in fat cells.
• Food molecules that are not needed for cellular respiration are converted to fat molecules and stored in fat cells.

Female luna moths (actias luna) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. a male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. the sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comblike antennae visible in the photograph shown here. each filament of an antenna is equipped with thousands of receptor cells that detect the sex attractant. based on what you learned in this chapter, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. what predictions does your hypothesis make? design an experiment to test one of these predictions.
