Ulcers and infection in the edematous area are the symptoms should the nurse assess for in a client with lymphedema as a result of impaired nutrition to the tissue. Lymphedema can be a result of scarring injury, removal of lymph nodes, radiation or chronic infection. Peripheral arterial disease is caused by decreased arterial blood supply. Venous stasis is due to blood not moving which puts the client at risk for varicose veins.

The most basic definition of cellular respiration is that it is cells breaking down food to make energy. True or false?

fredd [130]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In cells, energy is obtained from food through the process of cellular respiration. In mitochondria, this occurs through aerobic respiration- here, cells breakdown sugars like glucose into carbon dioxide and water and energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate.

In cellular aerobic respiration:

C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP
