In Texas, a man showed up at a medical facility claiming that he felt drunk when he had not ingested any alcohol. Indeed his blo

od alcohol measured 0.37, many times the legal limit. Although he was a home brewer, he claimed that this intoxication had been happening often without his drinking any alcohol. Which of these hypotheses and actions might be most useful in diagnosing this problem?
a. His home brew concoctions have created a type of alcohol that lasts a long time.
b. Have him refrain from home brewing for a week and recheck his blood alcohol.
c. He might have recently had a round of antibiotics that killed the bacteria that usually live in his gut and allowed a yeast species to overgrow. Put him on probiotics and a low carb diet for a week and recheck his blood alcohol. d. The fumes from the alcohol that he is using as a cleaning solution might be getting into his bloodstream. Ask him if he is using alcohol externally.
e. Maybe he feels drunk because he has been eating mushrooms that have sprouted during this very wet weather. Check him for fungal toxins.

Answer:

c. He might have recently had a round of antibiotics that killed the bacteria that usually live in his gut and allowed a yeast species to overgrow. Put him on probiotics and a low carb diet for a week and recheck his blood alcohol.  

Explanation:

This patient may have taken some antibiotics to contain any infection he was having. Antibiotics are medicines with a high power against bacteria. These medications can only be taken with medical supervision because they can kill all bacteria in the body and our gut has beneficial bacteria that help us during digestion.  Probably the antibiotic that the man took killed all the bacteria present in his gut and this allowed for a proliferation of yeast that started an alcoholic fermentation caused the sensation of being alcoholized to the man.

The ideal thing to do with this patient is to prescribe probiotics and put him on a low-carb diet for a week and recheck the blood alcohol.

Aerobic respiration creates lactic acid as a by prodcut but prodcues far more atp than respiration.
Nonamiya [84]

False, aerobic respiration creates lactic acid as a by product but produces far more ATP than respiration. When lactic acid is ferment by certain bacteria which includes the bacteria in yogurt and also by human muscles cells when they are worked hard and fast.

In aerobic cell respiration which includes glycolysis + the kerbers cycle = respiratory electron transport that produce 36 ATP /glucose consumed. Aerobic respiration cell are 18 times more efficient than anaerobic cell respiration because in aerobic respiration more ATP than anaerobic respiration due to the complete oxidation of glucose to CO2 and water .

Now O2 acts as terminal electron accept in this electron transport chain and gets reduced to water.ATP are produced by oxidation phosphorylation in the electron transport chain.

Explain how a mutation could have no effect on the organism that inherits the mutation
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

A mutation could have no effect on the organism that inherits the mutation because of the chances of the organism's parents/producers. One parent may be dominantly having the mutation while the other parent may have the mutation but does not display its effects, thus labeling this parent as a carrier of the trait/mutation. Drawing a punnet square would best be used to describe the possibilities of each offspring and how each carries or shows the mutation inherited from their parents.

hope this helpsss
