<span>Since oxygen is required in the electron transport chain the cell is unable to break down glucose past pyruvate. This means that both pyruvates and acetyl-CoA are unable to help produce further ATP. The cell is still able to break down the 5 glucose molecules using glycolysis however instead of producing pyruvate its final product is lactic acid. Since each glucose is can create 4 ATP (net 2 ATP) five glucose molecules would produce 20ATP net (10ATP).</span>

Doctors do not administer vaccinations to people who are too sick. Which best explains why?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

D, The white blood cells of sick people may not be able to efficiently handle the weakened or dead form of the pathogen.

Explanation:

Vaccinations are essentially just weak diseases we use to create antibodies so the body can protect itself from the full disease. If it sees it once, it can defend itself, is the theory. This is choice D.

  • Why not A: The weakened form will be attacked by the immune system, but maybe not enough, because the person is so sick that the immune system is busy elsewhere.
  • Why not B: The medication is not what combines with the vaccine to cause problems. It is the body being overworked.
  • Why not C: The digestive system isn't the issue. You don't eat diseases.

Nuts are a good source of vitamin E. <br> a. True<br> b. False
mixer [17]
Nuts indeed are a good source of vitamin E. This is true. However, when talking about nuts we have to consider that not all nuts have the same nutritional information nor do all of them have plenty of vitamin E. While we can say this for most, it is necessary to be wary of making such statements.
