Answer: True

Explanation:Carbon dioxide is transported is transfer in 3 basic ways to human cells.

About 20 % of C0 2 is transported as Carbaminohemoglobin to reach the lungs carbon dioxide binds directly to the amino acid moieties on the globin portions of the haemoglobin to form carbaminohemoglobin. This is a reversible reaction as shown below.

                                        CO2 + Hb ↔ HbCO2.

The reversible binding of C02 to the haemoglobin is due to the   the partial pressure of carbondioxde. In  the  lungs the partial pressure of C02 is low. Therefore C02 is unbounded from the HB and leaves in the lungs, thus the blood   leaving the lungs for the body tissues has low partial pressure C02. Compare to the blood in the tissues with high partial pressure of C02 from metabolic activities of cellular respiration. The C02 therefore diffuses from the tissues to bind with HB to form Carbaminoheamologbin.

In addition C02 is transported by other means.

1. As bicarbonate 70% of the Co2 in the blood is transported and  bicarbonate buffer.

              CO2 + H2O CA ↔ H2CO3↔H+ + HCO3

2, As  soluble carbon dioxide which  dissolves directly  in to the blood stream; this is about 7-10%

In the absence of oxygen, a yeast cell undergoes fermentation and uses 100 molecules of glucose. How much net ATP will be genera
vredina [299]

Answer:

200 ATP molecules

Explanation:

Yeast is a fungus that undergoes fermentation instead of cellular respiration when there is an absence of oxygen. In the fermentation process undergone by yeast, which produces an alcohol as product (alcohol fermentation), two (2) ATP molecules are produced as net ATP.

However, if a yeast cell undergoes fermentation and uses 100 molecules of glucose, the yeast cell will generate a net ATP of 2 × 100 molecules = 200 molecules.

Explique de que forma a obstrução dos vasos da planta hospedeira pelos biofilmes de bactérias pode levar à morte progressiva das
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Os biofilmes são uma comunidade complexa de microrganismos, que pode ser composta por uma única espécie ou uma combinação de espécies. Os biofilmes são geralmente formados nas superfícies de materiais não vivos ou nos tecidos de organismos vivos; que pode estar externamente nos tecidos vivos dos organismos ou dentro dos tecidos vivos do organismo. Quando os microrganismos formam um biofilme, aumentam suas chances de resistir a anticorpos produzidos pelo organismo e aumentam suas chances de colonização completa do organismo. Algumas doenças são caracterizadas pela presença de biofilmes, que são, na maioria dos casos, a causa da doença.

<em>No caso de obstrução de vasos de plantas hospedeiras por biofilmes bacterianos; os biofilmes se formam na superfície do vaso e aumentam gradualmente de tamanho até que haja uma obstrução completa do vaso da planta. Quando o vaso da planta é eventualmente obstruído, o fluxo de materiais e minerais necessários é obstruído; levando à obstrução das células da raiz de receber materiais vitais e minerais necessários para o crescimento, isso eventualmente leva à morte progressiva das células da raiz.</em>
