Suppose that a scientist is simultaneously measuring both the amount of oxygen and the amount of glucose that is being used by cells. If a chemical were added that inhibited the electron transport chain?
Oxygen consumption decreases while glucose consumption increases
Why do yeast cells consume glucose much more slowly if oxygen is present than absent?
why do yeast cells consume glucose much more slowly when oxygen is present than when oxygen is absent
What does glucose supply the cell with?
Glucose is a supplier of energy to the cells. Cells use the glucose as well as fats for fuel.
How do your cells get oxygen glucose and the raw materials that they need to respire?
Your cells get oxygen and glucose through protein channels located on their cell membrane the phospholipid bilayer surrounding a cell.
What happen when the body is not producing enough insulin?
When there is not enough insulin produced or when the doorway no longer recognizes the insulin key, glucose stays in the blood rather entering the cells.
How does glucose and oxygen goes to your brain?
Oxygen is moved through the body, bounded to hemaglobine (red blood cells). Glucose is moved through the blood.
Is glucose in a red blood cell?
no oxygen is in your red blood cells
What plants and animal cells use glucose and oxygen to make?
photosynthesis
What do plants and animal cells use glucose and oxygen to make?
photosynthesis
What are the basic needs of all the cells in the body?
water, oxygen, glucose
What is the process in which glucose and oxygen react in cells to release energy?
inhaling
Why do Muscle cells need to be supplied with more food when there is a lack of oxygen than when there is plenty of oxygen?
Lactic acid fermentation, which occurs in muscle cells when there is a lack of oxygen, only produces two molecules of ATP per glucose molecule. Aerobic respiration produces 34-38 molecules of ATP per glucose molecule. So, in order to produce enough ATP to function, there needs to be more glucose available.
