Explain Nutrition: Body Weight and Energy Balance and describe what learning techniques you used to master the material.

Nutrition: Body Weight and Energy Balance
Research suggests that all animals have a metabolic set point that determines how much energy we need in a day. This is determined by a number of factors, including genes and lifestyle. Studies from behavioral genetics suggest that 30 to 50 percent of the variability in weight is due to genetics. In terms of lifestyle, the level of activity influences how metabolically active our cells are. Body weight will remain stable so long as the calories consumed are equivalent to the calories expended. In the short term, the body will cope with too many or too few calories by changing the metabolic set point, so overeating during the holidays is not a problem, but, in the longer term, these set points can get adjusted to new levels based on changes in lifestyle or diet.

African American History

Choose one of the questions for your main post. Respond to at least one student who answered a different question from you. The answers should come from your textbook, the book of primary source documents, the assigned website, the lecture, videos, and the research you conducted in the APUS Library. Respond as many times as you wish. Your two best responses will be graded. The initial post with well referenced facts is due by Wednesday, 11:55 p.m. ET and 2 peer responses are due by Friday, 11:55 p.m. ET. Do not research on the Internet.

1.) What explains the different shifts in ideology among some leading black political figures in the early twentieth century? Why did some become more nationalist and others more socialist? Were these two currents incompatible? Why was progressivism largely for whites only? How did the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) respond to the conditions during this era?

2.) Describe the “new Negro” of the 1920s. How were they new? How successful were African Americans in achieving independence and equality in the 1920s?

3.) To what extent do you think that the Ku Klux Klan’s philosophy was consistent with other American ideas and principles of the era?

4.) How did African Americans express their freedom through the Harlem Renaissance?

5.) The “New Negro” of the Harlem Renaissance was many things. W. E. B. Du Bois attempts to express it one way as a “double consciousness” — where the black man wants white America to appreciate his African roots, and where he wants to be American. Langston Hughes expresses it in poetry with his 1925 poem, “I, Too, Sing America,” in which he reminds his readers that while darker, he too is America. How did the Renaissance celebrate being black and American?
