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.
Catabolic and Anabolic Reactions. The sum of all chemical reactions within a living organism is known as metabolism. Metabolic pathways are a series of chemical reactions in which the product of one reaction is the substrate for the next reaction.nabolism refers to chemical reactions in which simpler substances are combined to form more complex molecules. Anabolic reactions usually require energy. Anabolic reactions build new molecules and/or store energy. The energy of catabolic reactions is used to drive anabolic reactions.
