Arteriosclerosis is a general term for the hardening of arteries and a loss of elasticity in arterial walls. Atherosclerosis is specifically a condition where arteries harden as a result of plaque buildup on artery walls. Both conditions result in poor and inefficient blood flow through arteries, which can lead to blood clots or ruptures in the blood vessels of the heart or brain. Blockages in the heart can result in heart attacks; blockages and ruptures in the brain lead to strokes.

The Krebs cycle sustains itself as long as ___________ & ____________ are present

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Oxygen and pyruvate.

Explanation:

The krebs cycle is a stage of cellular respiration and occurs in aerobic organisms. In this case, we can say that the Krebs Cycle only occurs in the presence of oxygen, being essential for the completion of cell respiration.

The Krebs cycle only occurs after the completion of glycolysis, as it needs to be initiated by pyruvate, which is a molecule resulting from glycolysis. In this case, in addition to oxygen, the presence of pyruvate is essential for the krebs cycle to occur.
