Question

Explain why 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.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.
