Answer:

Alcohol fermentation

Explanation:

When oxygen availability is low, the cell can't perform aerobic respiration to breakdown glucose. Instead, anaerobic respiration must be performed. This occurs in cells which consume large amounts of energy, such as muscle cells. Anaerobic respiration produces much less energy than aerobic respiration

One type of anaerobic respiration formed by yeast is called alcohol fermentation (also called ethanol fermentation). This begins with glycolysis, where one molecule of glucose is broke down into 2 molecules of pyruvate. The energy from this reaction generates 2 molecules of ATP, and converts NAD+ to NADH.

Then, the two molecules of pyruvate are further broke down into 2 acetaldehydes (releasing two molecules of carbon dioxide as a by-product). These two molecules of acetaldehyde are then converted into tw molecules of ethanol, using the H ions from NADH, converting it back to NAD+. See the attached picture

This process is taken advantage of to brew beer and wine.

Brut [27]

<u>Answer:</u>

Q: Which skeletal system <u>disorder</u> might she be suffering from?

A: <u>Osteoporosis</u>

Q: What <u>techniques</u> could be used to diagnose her condition?

A: <u>Bone mineral density (BMD) test</u> or <u>dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan</u>

Q: What treatments are available?

A: Medication, healthy food.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>The vertebral discs between vertebrae could shrink with age</u>. Therefore, a height loss up to 1-inch is normal. However, if the height loss is more then it is possibly due to <u>osteoporosis</u>.

A <u>bone mineral density test</u>, also known as <u>dual energy X-ray absorptiometry</u> scan, is a well-adapted test to measure the amount of calcium and other minerals in the bones. It uses <u>X-rays</u> to measure the content of calcium and thus strength of bones.

A person who is already suffering from osteoporosis should be treated with <u>medicine</u> right away so that it <u>stops</u> further <u>deterioration of the bones</u> and <u>avoid any future bone fractures</u>. Further, it can be handled by <u>eating a healthy diet</u> and <u>supplements</u> such as <u>vitamins D</u>. In case some of the bones/vertebrae are <u>already fractured</u>, <u>surgical approaches</u> might be necessary.
