The shift to anaerobic metabolism in shock results in: a. Metabolic alkalosis b. Decreased oxygen utilization c. Increased lacta

te production d. Decreased hydrogen ion production
Biology
1 answer:
Setler [38]3 years ago

Answer: c. Increased lactate production

Explanation:

The shock causes the deprivation of oxygen, this leads to anaerobic respiration in cells. In anaerobic respiration lactic acid production increases.  The lactate get dissociated into lactic acid and hydrogen ions this makes the pH of blood more acidic. The acidic blood ruptures the blood vessels. This anaerobic process leads to the cell death. If enough number of cells die, the organs fails and death may occur.

Answer:

The swim bladder is located in the body cavity and is derived from an outpocketing of the digestive tube. It contains gas (usually oxygen) and functions as a hydrostatic, or ballast, organ, enabling the fish to maintain its depth without floating upward or sinking.

28. Which statement best explains why cellular respiration in plants and
bazaltina [42]

Answer: Photosynthesis provides the materials that fuel cellular respiration.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis, the process through which green plants convert light to chemical energy. The energy that is gotten from sunlight by green plants, some protistans, and bacteria is used to produce sugar which is then converted to ATP by cellular respiration which is regarded to as the fuel that living things use.

Therefore, the statement that best explains why cellular respiration in plants and other organisms is dependent on photosynthesis is that photosynthesis provides the materials that fuel cellular respiration.

What is the ultimate measure of evolutionary success?
vfiekz [6]

There is only one measure of "evolutionary success": having more offspring. A "useful" trait gets conserved and propagated by the simple virtue of there being more next-generation individuals carrying it and particular genetic feature "encoding" it. That's all there is to it.

One can view this as genes "wishing" to create phenotypic features that would propagate them (as in "Selfish Gene"), or as competition between individuals, or groups, or populations. But those are all metaphors making it easier to understand the same underlying phenomenon: random change and environmental pressure which makes the carrier more or less successful at reproduction.

You will sometimes hear the term "evolutionary successful species" applied to one that spread out of its original niche, or "evolutionary successful adaptation" for one that spread quickly through population (like us or our lactase persistence mutation), but, again, that's the same thing.
