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

lucose in normoxic (normal O2 levels) tissues.A) Oxygen is the limiting reactant in ATP producing, so ATP is produced in hypoxic tissues slowlier than in normoxic tissuesB) In hypoxic tissues, in contrast to normoxic tissues, ATP is additionally consumed to transform lactate to pyruvate.C) In hypoxic tissues, ATP is produced only by glycolysis, whereas in normoxic tissues, the citric acid cycle + oxidative phosphorylation can be used.D) In hypoxic tissues, ATP is produced only by glycolysis, whereas in normoxic tissues, the citric acid cycle + oxidative phosphorylation can be used.

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.

EOC Biology STAAR Test Prep
Bond [772]

Answer:

D. A, B, AB, or O

Explanation:

We can start by visualizing all the possible genotypes of the offspring by drawing a Punnett square, which is a visual representation of the different possible combinations of alleles:

Individual 1 = AO, Individual 2 = BO

     A   O

B  AB  BO

O  AO  OO

Here we can see that there are 4 possible genotypes: AB, BO, AO and OO based on the alleles of the parents. Now we can match the genotypes to phenotypes to answer the question:

A and B are codominant, meaning that both will be expressed equally if both are present. Therefore the genotype AB will result in an AB phenotype.

Next, since A and B are both dominant over O, they are the alleles that will be expressed in the phenotype if paired with an O. This means that the genotype AO will result in an A phenotype, and likewise, genotype BO will result in phenotype B.

Finally in the genotype OO, although O is a recessive allele, there are no dominant alleles here to mask them, therefore O is expressed in the phenotype.

Hence, from the genotypes AO and BO, the possible offspring genotypes are AB, BO, AO and OO, translating to the possible phenotypes: A, B, AB or O.

Hope this helped!

A ________ is defined as a single, brief contraction period and then relaxation period of a skeletal muscle in response to a sin
faust18 [17]
A twitch is defined as a single, brief contraction period and then relaxation period of a skeletal muscle in response to a single stimulation. Contraction period involves receptive power strokes that pull the thin filaments past the thick filaments shortening sacromeres and muscle tension increases as the sacromeres shorten. Relaxation period begins with or release of cross bridges resulting from the return of Ca2+ back to sarcoplasmic reticulum. The strength of skeletal muscle contractions can be broadly separated into twitch, summation, and tetanus. A twitch is a single contraction and relaxation cycle produced by an action potential within the muscle fiber itself.
