(Question 1):
Oxygen is the key for generating energy in cellular respiration. The cellular respiration is a complex biological process that breaks down sugars, fat and proteins and transforms these materials into energy for the functioning of the organism. Oxygen is needed at the end of this process, when electrons liberated in the respiration are transported through the inner membranes of the cells, and the oxygen "attracts" these electrons (like bees to honey) and makes possible the production of great quantities of chemical energy in the said membranes.

(Question 2):
Earth's natural bodies of water have a low oxygen concentration--much lower than the level of oxygen in air at the earth's surface. Smaller organisms can obtain sufficient oxygen through the skin (e.g. flatworms), but larger organisms require special structures to collect enough oxygen to sustain life. This oxygen comes from molecules of oxygen gas dissolved in the water. The oxygen atom present in the water molecule is not suitable for respiration.

Which of the following stages of cellular respiration involve cytochromes?
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

A. III only

Explanation:

Cytochromes are found only in the mitochondrial membrane as part of the electron transport chain. They are vital to the downward cascade of energy as electrons are passed from the NAD+ and FAD produced during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle into the electron transport chain to eventually produce ATP.

Antibiotic resistance happens when an antibiotic lost its ability in controlling or killing bacterial growth. At this moment the bacteria are already resistant to the antibiotic and are multiplying even though the drug is present. This is a natural phenomenon.

Nina [5.8K]

It can be expected that there will be closure of the patent ductus arteriosus for this is the effect of indomethacin. The adverse effect would include platelet dysfunction, decrease gasto-intestinal motility and an increase in necrotizing enterocolitis. With this, the nurse should anticipate the possible outcomes where there will be increase bleeding time and decrease gastro-intestinal function after giving indomethacin.

g If a person takes a prescribed dose of 10 milligrams of Valium, the amount of Valium in that person's bloodstream at any time
Elenna [48]

Answer:

a. 8.1 milligrams

b. 40.07 hours

c. 8.859 milligrams

Explanation:

If a person takes a prescribed dose of 10 milligrams of Valium, the amount of Valium in that person's bloodstream at any time can be modeled by

A_{t}=10e^{-0.0173t}

Where A(t) = amount of Valium remaining in the blood after t hours

t = time or duration after the drug is taken

a. we have to calculate the amount of drug remaining in the bloodstream after 12 hours

A_{12}=10e^{-0.0173\times12}

A_{12}=10e^{-0.2076}

                = 10×0.81253

                = 8.1 milligrams

b. In this part we have to calculate the time when A(t) = 5 milligrams

5=10e^{-0.0173\timest}

\frac{5}{10}=e^{-0.0173t}

0.5 = e^{-0.0173t}

Now we take natural log on both the sides of the equation.

ln(0.5) = ln(e^{-0.0173t})

-0.69314 = -0.0173t

t = \frac{0.69314}{0.0173}

t = 40.0658

 ≈ 40.07 hours

c. In this part we have to calculate the rate, by which amount of drug will decay in the bloodstream after 7 hours.

A_{7}=10e^{-0.0173\times7}

A_{7}=10e^{-0.1211}

              = 10×0.8859

              = 8.859 milligrams
