Explain why fermentation wold take over and not the krebs cycle.how long would it last?

Biology
1 answer:
AleksandrR [38]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Fermentation replaces the Krebs cycle when there is inadequate oxygen and lasts for a much shorter duration, which depends on the individual.

Explanation:

The best way to describe this is when someone is running. While they are exerting their maximum effort, they breathe very heavily to make up for a lack of oxygen. The muscles they are using take up more oxygen than the lungs can obtain, so the cells switch over from the more efficient Krebs Cycle as a last-ditch effort to provide the energy that individual needs.

This is a very inefficient way of producing ATP because it only yields 2 ATP per glucose molecule, as opposed to roughly 26 ATP through the Krebs Cycle.

One common misconception here is that lactic acid buildup occurs during this process, and while that is partly true, the lactic acid would suffocate the cells and lead to death if lactic acid were to build up in the way people believe.

As for how long Fermentation can occur, it depends on the fitness of the individual, as the Fermentation process would likely only last for a few seconds for an out-of-shape individual and over an hour in a long-distance runner.

It also depends on whether or not the person has trained their muscle for endurance or short bursts of strength. A sprinter cannot use Fermentation for long but a marathoner may use Fermentation for the last hour of their run.

What are four characteristics of a good extraction solvent?
ella [17]

A good extraction solvent should have a strong solubilizing capability for the compound of interest, it should be immiscible or only weakly misciblewith the matrix solvent ( the first solution or mixture containing the compound from its natural source, e.g., water/ether. water/ chloroform, etc. If possible the extraction solvent should be non-flammable, non-toxic or of low toxicity, reasonably volatile, and of low eco-impact. Inexpensive and available, of high purity , and shelf stable. If one is determining the compound of interest by UV/Vis spectrophotometry or fluorescence, the solvent should have extremely low absobance or emission at the wavelength of analysis

• high solubility for the solute and low solubility for the carrier liquid.

• density difference vs. the carrier liquid greater than 150 kg/m. ...

• mid-level interfacial tension (5–30 dyne/cm)

• high resistance to thermal degradation.

Through which conversion is energy released?
Stels [109]

Answer: B) ATP to ADP

This reaction is termed as ATP hydrolysis.

ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) conversion to ADP ( adenosine diphosphate) is an energy producing reaction ( exothermic reaction). ATP contains high energy bonds called phosphoanhydride bonds. Thus, when this bond is broken down, ATP is converted to ADP and Pi ( inorganic phosphate) and  releases large amount of energy.
