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.

The scientists mapping the SNPs in the human genome noticed that groups of SNPs tended to be inherited together, in blocks known
Over [174]

Answer:

SNPs have shown that only 0.1 % of DNA sequences are different in the human genome between different individuals, thereby all the inherited phenotypic variation observed in our species is associated with only 0.1 % of differences at the genome level  

Explanation:

Haplotypes are block-like sequences of DNA that are inherited together due to low recombination rates. Moreover, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mapping is a very useful methodology used to map the site of SNP mutations (i.e., SNP variants). In this regard, it has been observed that there are approximately 10 million common SNPs in the human genome. These SNPs contribute to the wide range of phenotypic variation observed in human populations for different traits (e.g., eye color, hair, weight, height, etc). Moreover, researchers have determined that SNPs can be clustered into haplotypes, thereby haplotypes can be accurately sampled by as few as approx. 300,000 selected SNPs, which are sufficient to represent all of the genetic variation across different human genomes.
