In Zimbabwe, there are two seasons- the wet and dry season. Regardless, the temperatures are rather moderate and less arid and humid than in the Northern part of Africa. The dry season generally is from May to October. At the tail end of the dry season, it is the least desirable time to visit Africa. In fact, October and November are known as âsuicide monthsâ because the temperatures remain high through the night as well.
metabolic equivalent (MET) metabolic equivalent (MET) expresses the approximate energy cost (in terms of oxygen consumption) of a particular activity relative to the energy expenditure at rest, i.e. at rest MET = 1, equivalent to oxygen consumption of about 3.5 mL O2 kg-1.min-1.
What Are Metabolic Pathways? The term 'metabolism' comes from the Greek word metabole, which means change. It refers to the total of an organism's chemical reactions. A metabolic pathway is a series of steps found in biochemical reactions that help convert molecules or substrates, such as sugar, into different, more readily usable materials. These reactions occur inside of a cell, where enzymes, or protein molecules, break down or build up molecules.
