Answer:

The answer to the statement: At rest, most of the body´s blood supply resides in the pulmonary loop, would be, B: False.

Explanation:

The circulatory system never stops working. Pumping of blood, transportation of oxygen, nutrients and water to and from tissues is a process that does not end, even during sleep. The only moment when this process does not happen, is in death. However, a good question is, where does the blood go, or stay, when the body is not active, like for example, during sleep. And the answer is that most of it will rest on the systemic veins and venules and will slowly circulate back to the heart, but at a much lower rate than when the body activates itself. However, what is not true is that blood will reside mostly in the pulmonary loop, because this loop does not have the capacity to store that much blood.

Answer: program adherence, weight is an indirect measure

Explanation:

Program adherence is also called exercise compliance or adherence and it is used in describing how a patient is sticking to his or her exercise program and following the recommendations by their personal trainer or health professional.

With regards to the question, if the behavior of interest is program adherence, weight is an indirect measure. This is because weight in this case is used as a means to determine the calories burned and other vital components to be known. Weight is an indirect measure because we are really not interested in knowing the weight, it's just a means to an end.

Which of the following is true concerning oxygen in regards to aerobic respiration?

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Correct answer is c. It is the final electron acceptor in the aerobic respiration.

Explanation:

Oxygen is a substrate of the aerobic respiration, but it is not the only one. Glucose is also a substrate.

Oxygen is used in the cells to be the final electron acceptor, this means that receives the electrons from NADH and FADH2. That is why, when there is no oxygen available for aerobic respiration, the NADH and FADH2 cannot be oxidized and therefore remain in their reduced form. As a consequence, they cannot be re-utilized during different cellular processes that are NAD+ and FAD dependant, such as glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation and cellular respiration. This means that the ATP synthesis stops.

Oxygen itself does not transport any electrones, this are transported by the cytochrome complex in the mitochondrial membrane. But oxygen is key in receiving those electrones, therefore a very important piece of the electron transport across the mitochondria.
