Answer:

The correct answer is epiglottitis.

Explanation:

Swelling and inflammation of the epiglottis is known as epiglottitis. It is generally caused due to an infection, however, can sometimes also result due to a throat injury. Some of the symptoms of the condition are difficulty and pain at the time of swallowing, severe sore throat, difficulty in breathing that may get better when leaning forwards, breathing sounds becomes high-pitched and unusual, hoarse or muffled voice, and drooling.

Which describes the process of fermentation?
xxMikexx [17]

Explanation:

<u>anaerobic process that restores NAD+ supply </u>

<u></u>

Within cells, aerobic respiration may not occur due to several factors:

  • - a lack of inorganic, final electron acceptors
  • -incomplete or lack of a complete electron transport system
  • -missing genes for enzymes within the Kreb's cycle

Thus, they utilize other means for the generation of energy in the form of ATP and to replenish NAD+ an oxidized form of NADH, the main electron carrier in glycolysis. Pyruvate is produced in the cytoplasm via glycolysis- it is also used as an electron acceptor in a process called fermentation.

Further Explanation:

overall: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).

Oxidative phosphorylation describes a process in which the NADH and FADH2 made in previous steps of respiration process give up electrons in the electron transport chain these are converted it to their previous forms, NADH+ and FAD. Electrons continue to move down the chain the energy they release is used in pumping protons out of the matrix of the mitochondria.

This forms a gradient where there is a differential in the number of protons on either side of the membrane the protons flow or re-enter the matrix through the enzyme ATP synthase, which makes the energy storage molecules of ATP from the reduction of ADP. At the end of the electron transport, three molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water...

  • Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules. (2 ATP are utilized for a net ATP of 2)
  • The Citric acid or Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate, 2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
  • The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.

What problems might result from the prolonged administration of cortisol to a person with severe inflammatory disease?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

The prolonged exposure to cortisol hormone may cause different health problems including anxiety, depression, muscle atrophy, hypertension, metabolic problems, diabetes, myopathies, osteoporosis, etc.

Explanation:

Cortisol is a stress hormone secreted by the adrenal glands, it is a steroid hormone that is involved in diverse functions including the control of metabolic and immune responses, salt balance (blood pressure), etc. Moreover, cortisol hormone also has anti-inflammatory properties. However, prolonged exposure to stress hormones like cortisol is associated with different health problems, especially anxiety and depression.

For the reaction C6H 1206C02+ H208 428 g of C6 H 1206 is consumed producing a 3.1 M solution of CO2 what is the volume of CO2 pr
timofeeve [1]
I think it’s m(C6H12O6) = 856 g

M(C6H12O6) = 12*6+1*12+16*6 = 180 g/mol

n(C6H12O6) = m/M = 856 g / 180 g/mol = 4.756 mol

n(CO2) = 6*4.756 = 28.536 mol

M(CO2) = 12+16*2 = 44 g/mol

m(CO2) = n*M = 28.536mol*44g/mol = 1255.584 g
