Ductus Arteriosus is a blood vessel normally present in fetuses during development. The blood vessel is designed to bypass the pulmonary artery and brings blood to the Descending Aorta, as the fetus cannot breath through the lung (being as they are fluid filled). This is normally not a problem because oxygenated blood comes from the mother's blood supply.

Patent Ductus Arteriosus, is what happens when that vessel does not close. While not as dangerous as other congenital defects. However, because there is still a bypass, blood that normally need to be oxygenated by going through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs, can be diverted and placed into the blood stream without vital oxygen. This condition may eventually lead to CHF (congestive Heart Failure) and Pulmonary Hypertension if not treated.

In the complete oxidation of glucose, six CO2 molecules are formed per glucose molecule. The number of CO2 molecules released by
Serga [27]

Answer:

0, 2, 4

Explanation:

The process of cellular respiration takes place in for phases which oxidizes the glucose molecule to the provide energy molecule called ATP.

Along with ATP, the process releases the metabolic water and carbon dioxide gas. In the oxidation of one glucose molecules, about 6 molecules of CO₂ are released. These CO₂ molecules are produced in the following manner:

1. Glycolysis: CO₂ gas is not produced during this reaction but only ATP and NADH are produced.

2. Pyruvate decarboxylation: the process converts the pyruvate produced by glycolysis to Acetyl-CoA. Formation of 1 Acetyl-CoA produces 1 CO₂ and since 2 Acetyl-CoA is produced therefore produces 2 CO₂ molecules.

3. Citric acid cycle: The cycle converts 2 Acetyl-CoA and produces 4 CO₂ in two cycles converting each Acetyl-CoA.

Thus, 0, 2, 4 is correct.
