This patient both has left-sided heart failure and right-sided heart failure. In left-sided heart failure, this patient exhibits increasing shortness of breath on exertion as well as three pillow orthopnea which indicates pulmonary congestion. This is because of pooling of blood in the pulmonary circulation. Bipedal edema, in this patient is a grade 2 bipedal edema, reflect right-sided heart failure as there is pooling of blood in the systemic circulation, causing transudation in the most dependent areas of the body.

Answer:

No, it wouldn't provide all the elements needed to assemble lipids, nucleic acids or proteins.

Explanation:

As it can be seen from the diagram, the breakdown of glucose molecules will release hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. All these elements are needed to make lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. But apart from these elements, other elements are also required for the making of these compounds. For example, nucleic acid would require the elements nitrogen and phosphorus apart from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen for its making. Proteins would need nitrogen, sulphur and selenium apart from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
