Since hemoglobin is attracted more to carbon monoxide than it is to oxygen, what is likely to happen to a person if he breathes

in excessive amounts of carbon monoxide? He would exhale deadly carbon gas. He could go blind. He could suffocate from lack of oxygen in his blood. He could have a massive heart attack.

C. He could suffocate from lack of oxygen in his blood.

Given the statement that hemoglobin (used to transport oxygen throughout our body) is more attracted to carbon monoxide, it is highly likely that most, if not all, the hemoglobin in a human body will be bound to carbon monoxide instead of oxygen when a person inhales too much carbon monoxide. This results in a lack of hemoglobin carrying oxygen to the cells of the body. Oxygen deficiency occurs.

Which statement regarding the mammalian heart is correct? A) In the adult heart, blood in the right chambers of the heart cannot
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

In the adult heart, blood in the right chambers of the heart cannot enter the left chambers without passing through the lungs. (Ans. A)

Explanation:

In heart, heart muscle cells is responsible for the circulating the blood throughout the body. The heart contains four chambers, two upper called as atrium and two lower called as ventricle, 1 atrium and 1 ventricle present on both right and left sides of the heart.

Blood which is returning from other parts of the body and is no longer oxygen rich, enters from the top right chamber of the heart. Than this blood is pumped into the right vertical and through the pulmonary artery into the lungs for absorb more oxygen.This oxygen rich blood is then pumped into the top left chamber present in the heart, and then into the lower left chamber before being pumped out into the body from the aorta.

So, the answer is A.

Which island has the greatest number of unique mammal species?
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Luzon Island, in the Philippines has the greatest number of unique animal species.

Explanation:

Researchers have shown that out of 56 species of non-flying mammal species that are now known to live on the island, 52 live nowhere else in the world. Of those 56 species, 28 were discovered during the course of the project. Nineteen of the species have been formally described in scientific journals, and nine are currently “in the works.” Currently 93% of the island's land land mammals have been found no where else.

For each glucose that enters glycolysis, _____ acetyl CoA enter the citric acid cycle. For each glucose that enters glycolysis,
klio [65]

Answer:

For each glucose that enters glycolysis,  <u>2 </u>acetyl CoA enter the citric acid cycle.

Explanation:

<u>SYNTHESIS OF 2Acetyl CoA -:</u>

The glucose is transformed into 2pyruvate (6 carbon molecules are converted into 2 -3 carbon molecules) during glycolysis. In both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, glycolysis occurs frequently. This process takes place in the cytoplasm (it does not require oxygen or mitochondria), but if both oxygen and mitochondria are present, two molecules of pyruvate join mitochondria and prepare for citric acid cycle.

Until entering this, the molecules go through a mechanism known as the linked (connects glycolysis with citric acid cycle) reaction, in which the pyruvate molecule is transformed into 2 acetyl CoA (meaning 3 carbon molecules are converted into 2 carbon molecules) and a carbon molecule is released in the form of 2CO_2 (waste product).

2NAD+ and NADH are synthesized in the linked reaction, implying that reducing power is produced. It means that electrons from pyruvate are released in the form of hydrogen, which 2NAD+ accepts and reduces to form 2 NADH.          

Glucose → 2pyruvate → 2Acetyl CoA

<u>Linked reaction is also known as oxidative -dicarboxylation.</u>

Hence,  2 Acetyl CoA is required to enter citric acid cycle.
