A spinchter (a ring of muscle) guards the opening of the bladder into the urethra and relaxes only at the time of urination under the impulse from the brain.

Explain why glucose consumption must increase in hypoxic tissues to provide the same amount of ATP that could be produced from g
slega [8]

Answer: B. In hypoxic tissues, in contrast to normoxic tissues, ATP is additionally consumed to transform lactate to pyruvate

Explanation:

In hypoxic tissues such as new cancerous cells, the vascular system is still underdeveloped, thus oxygen supply is reduced. To meet energy need, additional glucose is needed to convert lactate (result of anaerobic glycolysis) to pyruvate which can then go into the TCA cycle to yield energy. This phenomenon is very common in muscle tissues during exercise.
