Answer:
A. If the aerobic pathway—cellular respiration—cannot meet the energy demand, then the anaerobic pathway—lactic acid fermentation—starts up, resulting in lactic acid buildup and "oxygen debt."
C. After about 90 seconds of intense exercise, the muscles become depleted of oxygen, and anaerobic respiration can no longer function to produce ATP, resulting in "oxygen debt."
Explanation:
There are two sources of carbohydrates in the human's body for energy (ATP) production. 1) Creatine phosphate and 2) Glycogen. Creatine phosphate metabolizes easily and yields ATP quickly. Whereas glycogen is stored form of carbohydrate which yields energy more slowly. Therefore, initially, our bodies use creatine phosphate and then shift to glycogen. Within 60-90 seconds, the creatinine phosphate in the body is mostly utilized and then energy is produced by the use of glycogen in aerobic pathway. During areobic pathway, oxygen supply is sufficient and per cycle, it produces 32 molecules of ATP. However, when oxygen supply is limited or absent, the body will metabolize glycogen to lactic acid via fermentation and produce only 2 molecules of ATP.
Now consider the example: Kenny hikes all day at a steady pace therefore the supply of oxygen is sufficient for aerobic cellular respiration for ATP production. In this scenario, the oxygen debt is minimal and Kenny relies on aerobic respiration pathway to obtain energy. On the other hand, Janelle runs fast (100 meters in 13.5 seconds) and her cellular respiration would be on the compense of aerobic pathway initially which will be shifted to anaerobic pathway after the supply of oxygen is reduced/minimum. Janelle will heavily rely on the anaerobic pathway because running fast needs energy which cannot be provided via aerobic pathway easily. Therefore, Janelle's body will produce lactic acid and suffer from oxygen debt.
The wall of the left ventricle is thicker than that of the right - True
The left ventricle pumps more blood than the right - False
<u>Explanation:</u>
Heart has 4 number of chambers. One among these chambers is the left ventricle. Among the four cambers of the heart, the thick one is the left ventricle. It appears below the left atrium. The left ventricle is present in the bottom left part of the heart. When the contraction of heart occurs the blood from the valve called mitral enters the left atrium from the left atrium.
The left ventricle transports the oxygenated blood to the human body. The left ventricle needs along these things for pumping the blood. The right ventricle can function by itself and is more powerful than left ventricle. The right ventricle is responsible in pumping blood to the lungs on its own.
Answer:
Over our lifetime, our DNA can undergo changes or mutations that result in differences in the DNA sequence and may affect the proteins that are made. Mutations can occur as a natural consequence of errors in DNA replication or as a result of exposure to environmental factors such as smoking, sunlight or radiation.
Explanation:
Answer:
pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs
The respiratory system is what allows us to breathe and exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. The human respiratory system is a series of organs responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. ... The lungs work with the circulatory system to pump oxygen-rich blood to all cells in the body.
The respiratory system does not work alone in transporting oxygen through the body. The respiratory system works directly with the circulatory system to provide oxygen to the body. Oxygen taken in from the respiratory system moves into blood vessels that then circulate oxygen-rich blood to tissues and cells.
