What is an anaerobic reaction?
it is a metabolic reaction which takes place in the absence of oxygen
Which type of adaptation cells increase oxygen consumption and cellular function?
Hypertrophy
What is the relationship between light intensity and the amount of oxygen produced?
Up to a certain point the relationship between light intensity and the amount of oxygen produced are directly proportional. The more intense the light is the more chloroplast break down water.
What respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen?
According to Biologists, cellular respiration forms an energy source when respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen. Also, this creates aerobic and metabolic respiration.
What do gas cells need in order to release energy from sugar molecules?
to perform its metabolic activities
Why do periwinkles lower their metabolic rates?
They lower their metabolic rates during exposed periods to minimise oxygen consumption.
The rate of oxygen consumption at rest after an overnight fast?
Basal metabolic rate
What is used to measure oxygen consumption?
a respirometer
How the metabolic rate of an animal can be determined by measuring its rate of oxygen consumption.?
Oxygen is needed in ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation.
Which of these is a measure of the amount of oxygen used by the body during physical activity?
Standard metabolic equivalent
Which of the choices below does not describe how recovery oxyen uptake oxygen deficit restores metabolic conditions?
The choice that does not describe how recovery oxygen uptake oxygen deficit restores metabolic conditions is "by decreasing the heart rate." Recovery oxygen uptake oxygen deficit restores metabolic conditions by increasing oxygen consumption and restoring oxygen debt through increased respiration and blood circulation, not by decreasing heart rate.
Metabolic process that require oxygen are called?
Metabolic processes that require oxygen are termed aerobic. Metabolic processes that do not require oxygen are termed anaerobic.
Are metabolic processes that require oxygen called anaerobic?
Metabolic processes that require oxygen are termed aerobic. Metabolic processes that do not require oxygen are termed anaerobic.
Is it true or false that metabolic processes that require oxygen are called anaerobic?
Metabolic processes that require oxygen are called anaerobic is false. Metabolic processes that require oxygen are called aerobic. Metabolic processes that do not require oxygen are called anaerobic.
Function of thyroxin?
Thyroxin acts on many types of cell (muscle, heart, liver, kindney) to increase oxygen consumption, metabolic rate, and raise body temperature.
Does the oxygen consumption of a cell mirror the oxygen consumption of an animal?
yes
Which is not a metabolic waste?
oxygen
