Explain why glucose consumption must increase in hypoxic tissues to provide the same amount of atp that could be produced from g

When the body hypoxic it means that it has low oxygen level and could not doing the aerobic respiration chemical reaction. To produce energy the body will do the anaerobic reaction instead. 
When doing the aerobic respiration, the body can get up to 38 ATP per molecule of glucose but it only gets 2 ATP for anaerobic respiration. Since the net yield of ATP is lower in hypoxic/anaerobic, you will need a higher amount (up to 19 times) more glucose to get the same amount of energy produced by aerobic/normoxic.

Glucose consumption must increase in hypoxic tissues to provide the same amount of ATP that could be produced from glucose in normoxic (normal O2 levels) tissues. This is because the net yield of ATP in anaerobic condition is less as compared to aerobic condition.

Further Explanation:

The lactose and glucose are the energy source. The breakdown of glucose involves fewer steps and comparatively less energy, therefore glucose is the prime source of energy. In glucose absence, the bacteria use lactose for energy.

When the tissue is hypoxic, it means that it has a low level of oxygen and could not precede the aerobic respiration and chemical reaction. To produce energy the body will do the anaerobic reaction instead. The anaerobic reaction allows the breaks down of glucose and provides energy without consuming oxygen.

When doing aerobic respiration, the body can get up to thirty-eight ATP per molecule of glucose but it only gets two ATP for anaerobic respiration. Since, the net yield of ATP is lower in hypoxic or anaerobic condition. The aerobic condition means breakdown of glucose in the presence oxygen and it yield high amount of ATP. In anaerobic conditions, to get equal amount of energy as an aerobic reaction, then require large amount of glucose in comparison to aerobic reaction.

What is the sequence of events that occur in order for the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland to release hormones into the bl
alina1380 [7]
  1. The anterior pituitary gland's endocrine cells are in contact with hormones that are released.
  2. Neurosecretory cells in the hypothalamus secrete hormones that are released.
  3. Release of a specific hormone into the bloodstream by endocrine cells in the anterior pituitary gland.
<h3>What is the main function of the hypothalamus?</h3>

Your body's sophisticated control and coordination center is located in your hypothalamus, a structure deep inside your brain. Its major job is to maintain homeostasis, a constant state of equilibrium in your body. It carries out its function through controlling hormones or by directly affecting your autonomic nervous system.

<h3>What are the endocrine cells?</h3>

The gut's endocrine cells are a significant source of the hormones that regulate metabolism, digestion, and appetite. They are mostly found in two places: islets in the pancreas and sporadic clusters in the mucosal epithelium of the gut.

Question in the photo
Arisa [49]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

From reading what the process is, I think the answer should be C. The definition always says that you get energy from a chemical reaction and the products are CO2 and water. That can only mean that you have a hydrocarbon burning.

Chemically it looks like

C6H12O6  +  6O2 ====> 6CO2 + 6H20

A zonkey comes from a zebra(46 diploid chromosomes) and a donkey (62 diploid chromosomes).
MAVERICK [17]
Q1. The answer is 53 chromosomes

Zebra has 44 diploid chromosomes (2n = 44). Zebra's gametes are haploid, so they will have 22 chromosomes (n = 22).
Donkey has 62 diploid chromosomes (2n = 62). Zebra's gametes are haploid, so they will have 31 chromosomes (n = 31).
After fusion of zebra's gamete (n = 22) and donkey's gamete (n = 31), the zonkey's zygote will have 22 + 31 = 53 chromosomes


Q2 and Q3. In the meiosis, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half. Since zonkey has 53 chromosomes, after meiosis it should have 53/2 chromosomes, which is not the whole number. This is the reason why they cannot produce normal gametes that will result, after the fusion, in the production of normal diploid zygote
