Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas that is toxic in high enough concentrations. It can be a by-pr

oduct of burning fossil fuels. CO binds irreversibly to the protein (hemoglobin) that transports O2 throughout your bloodstream. As you are exposed to high amounts of CO over a period of time your available hemoglobin becomes unable to bind to O2 because it is bound to CO. In your own words, explain what would happen to cellular respiration and what overall effect this would have on the organism.

Answer:

Carbon monoxide has much more affinity for the hemoglobin than the affinity of the oxygen to the hemoglobin almost 300 times more, which allows the Hb to bind with carbon monoxide irreversibly. Due to this, the small quantity of CO can also reduce the ability of oxygen transport of the hemoglobin.

Longer exposure of CO to the cHb will lead to reducing oxygen release by the Hb that is bound to oxygen in this T state which causes less oxygen availability. In aerobic oxidation mechanisms like oxidative phosphorylation will eventually stop. It will be shifted to anaerobic cellular respiration. The net production of ATP drastically reduced due to anaerobic glycolysis. Cells will eventually start to die causing the death of an organism.

Relaxin

<span>Relaxin, secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary as well as the placenta, is responsible for helping to inhibit uterine activity and to soften the cervix and the collagen in joints. Softening of the cervix allows for dilatation at birth; softening of collagen allows for laxness in the lower spine and so helps enlarge the birth canal. The effect of estrogen is to cause breast and uterine enlargement. Progesterone has a major role in maintaining the endometrium, inhibiting uterine contractility, and aiding in the development of the breasts for lactation. Human placental lactogen (hPL), also known as human chorionic somatomammotropin, serves as an antagonist to insulin, making insulin less effective, thereby allowing more glucose to become available for fetal growth.</span>

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Gravity would also double

Explanation:

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation says that the force of gravity is directly proportional to the mass.  So if the size of the moon did not change and you were standing at the exact same spot on the moon and the mass of the moon doubled, the force of gravity you would experience would also be doubled.

What was the impact of the use of fossil fuels during the industrial revolution?
IrinaK [193]

Impact of the use of fossil fuels during the industrial revolution was it made possible a huge increase in the amount of productive energy available to humans.

The development of machines, including steam engines and the internal combustion engine, made it possible to exploit vast new resources of energy stored in fossil fuels, specifically coal and oil. The fossil fuels revolution greatly increased the energy available to human societies during industrial revolution.

Contrary to this fossil fuel have some disadvantages like when fossil fuels are burned, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the air. Greenhouse gases trap heat in our atmosphere, causing global warming.
