True. isotopes of uranium i.e U 235 is used as nuclear fuel in power plants

OleMash [197]3 years ago

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The following two isotopes of Uranium which are prominently used in a nuclear chain reaction.

a) Uranium-233

b) Uranium-235

Uranium 235 consists of 92 protons and 143 neutrons. When an excited electron hits a Uranium atom, it splits into two smaller atoms and release heat energy under the process of fission.

There is another isotope of Uranium i.e Uranium -238, but it does not break easily and hence is less preferred for a nuclear reaction.

Thus, it can be said that the statement "lsotopes of uranium are used as nuclear fuel in power plants." is true.

Answer:

Person starts to exercise.

Skeletal muscle oxygen demand increase  

Skeletal muscle metabolism increases

.Blood delivery to the skeletal muscle increases is order to provide more oxygen  

Oxygen sensors cause local blood cell vessels to dilate

.

This steps briefly describe the physiology of exercise.

At the onset of exercise,  skeletal muscles cells were sustained with  available oxygen from the Myoglobin. Myoglobin is  oxygen binding and storage  protein found in cardiac and skeletal muscles cells.  it has high storing capacity for oxygen.

However as the exercise becomes intense ATPs supply drops, oxygen  demand increases,cellular metabolisms demand also increase to supply glucose and ATP to the cells.

The liver mediates Gluconeogenesis.  Fatty acid is broken down to glucose for cellular respiration  with' ketone bodies  build up..Exercise also stimulates the breakdown of muscle glycogen to glucose,  Therefore, cellular respiration takes place to break down the glucose to  C02, H20  and energy with rise in temperature.

However, oxygen concentration is  low, therefore muscles cells undergo anaerobic respiration with lactic acid pathway. Lactic  acid  build up in muscles cells.The muscles cells under go oxygen debt to break down  lactic acid  to glucose in muscle.

Therefore to adjust the mechanism oxygen homeostatic sensors increases hyperventilation to increase  oxygen intake through the lungs, and vasodilation. so that maximum volume of blood containing oxygen is transported to muscles cells; to sustain the intense activity

Cells can get energy from water. *<br> True<br> False
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Hydrogen combines with oxygen to make water. The products are energy, carbon dioxide, and water. Some of the energy released during cellular respiration is transferred to other molecules, which then carry the energy where it is needed for the activities of the cell. The rest of the energy is released as heat

True
