Answer:
The reason you eat is to ultimately create a molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate) so that your cells have the means to power themselves, and therefore you, along. And not incidentally, the reason you breathe is that oxygen is needed in order to get the maximal amount of cell energy from the precursors of the glucose molecules in that food.
The process human cells use to generate ATP is called cellular respiration. It results in the creation of 36 to 38 ATP per molecule of glucose. It consists of a series of stages, beginning in the cell cytoplasm and moving to the mitochondria, the "power plants" of eukaryotic cells. The two ATP-producing processes can be viewed as glycolysis (the anaerobic part) followed by aerobic respiration (the oxygen-requiring part).
Patient A is suffering from anemia, due to underproduction of hemoglobin
Explanation:
Patient A’s blood cell count:
Hemoglobin: 5g/dL
RBC: 4.6 x 106 cells/ml
WBC: 15,000 cells/ml
Platelets: 250,000
Results inferred from the count: Low hemoglobin, low normal RBC, high WBC, normal platelets count
Hemophilia is an inherited blood clotting disorder, where due to excessive bleeding, blood hemoglobin, RBC, and platelets can go lower. The low hemoglobin is due excessive loss of blood and not due to underproduction of hemoglobin. Moreover, patient A’s platelet count is normal. Hence, hemophilia can be ruled out.
Since the hemoglobin and RBC count is low, it clearly indicates low production of these blood cell components, leading to anemia. However, the increase in WBC leads can be due any other underlying medical conditions like infections, hemolytic anemia, leukemia etc.
A) The amount of insulin produced by the pancreas will increase to reduce the amount of glucose in the bloodstream
Answer:
Not likely to be one that high.
Explanation:
A 7 only every 3,400 years so not likely.
