Question 2

A friend of yours wonders out loud, I wonder why we grow older? Enlighten them by comparing and contrasting the rate-of-living, cellular, and programmed cell death theories of aging. In your discussion, be sure to describe the role of telomeres, cross-linking, and free radicals in the process.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 2

The rate-of-living theory postulates that organisms have only so much energy to expend in a lifetime. The rate of a creature's metabolism is related to how long it lives. The three cellular theories state that aging occurs at the cellular level. The first postulates that the number of times that cells can divide limits the life span. Telomeres are the tips of chromosomes that play a major role in aging by adjusting the cell's response to stress and growth stimulation based on cell divisions and DNA damage. A second cellular theory is based on a process called cross-linking, in which certain proteins in human cells interact randomly and produce molecules that are linked in such a way as to make the body stiffer. A third type of cellular theory proposes that aging is caused by unstable molecules called free radicals, which are highly reactive chemicals produced randomly in normal metabolism. Programmed-cell-death theories propose that aging is programmed into our genetic code. Programmed cell death appears to be a function of physiological processes, the innate ability of cells to self-destruct, and the ability of dying cells to trigger key processes in other cells.

Did you know?

The types of cancer that alpha interferons are used to treat include hairy cell leukemia, melanoma, follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma.

Did you know?

A cataract is a clouding of the eyes' natural lens. As we age, some clouding of the lens may occur. The first sign of a cataract is usually blurry vision. Although glasses and other visual aids may at first help a person with cataracts, surgery may become inevitable. Cataract surgery is very successful in restoring vision, and it is the most frequently performed surgery in the United States.

Women are 50% to 75% more likely than men to experience an adverse drug reaction.

Individuals are never “cured” of addictions. Instead, they learn how to manage their disease to lead healthy, balanced lives.

Did you know?

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
