What else can I help you with?
Could an individual unable to absorb oxygen into the body perform cellular respiration?
An individual unable to absorb oxygen into the body is called dead, and is unable to perform cellular respiration.
Why do the dead need oxygen?
We don't know !!!! But i think the "dead" does not need oxygen though
Is oxygen consumed when aerobic bacteria break down dead algae in a pond?
Yes, oxygen is consumed by the aerobic bacteria in degrading the dead algae. Oxygen is used by bacteria in aerobic respiration. Lots of energy needed for degradation of organic matter in to inorganic comes from cellular respiration of bacterial cells.
How does anaerobic respiration make a person feel?
Dead... A person cannot perform respiration without oxygen. Anaerobic means without oxygen or air. A person that is anaerobic for too long will begin to pass out and later die from lack of oxygen. Certain animals, bacteria, and viruses are anaerobic, but humans are not.
What happens to initial glucose that was used to start aerobic respiration if there is a blockage of kreb's cycle?
Such condition is possible only if there is deficiency of oxygen or dead condition. In absence of oxygen it undergoes anaerobic respiration which forms ethyl alcohol & CO2 / lactic acid in plants and animals respectively Sreekala.K.P
Do fish gills still move when dead?
No, fish gills do not move when they are dead. When a fish dies, its gills stop functioning, as they require the fish to be alive in order to extract oxygen from the water through the process of respiration.
What is an organism that has been dead a very short time will contain a relatively large amount of?
An organism that has been dead a very short time will contain a relatively large amount of oxygen due to the lack of cellular respiration. Oxygen levels in the tissues will remain high until decomposition processes consume oxygen and other nutrients.
What is the role of dead space in respiration?
The dead space in the lung and air passages do not have a role in respiration, rather they are inherent in the physical arrangement of the airways.
What are the functions of physiological dead space?
There is no function of the physiological dead space. It is inevitable to be there in this design of respiration. So it is the defect in the design. But you have a very large physiological reserve to overcome the defect in this design. You have very effective system as in case of fish to get the oxygen out of water. But there is very low oxygen contents in water, making it essential to have such effective mechanism. Such effective mechanism is not necessary when abundant oxygen is available in air.
Is human decomposition anaerobic or aerobic?
They do both. In running for example, humans do aerobic respiration when they are not in oxygen dept, and anaerobic when they are in oxygen dept and lactic acid replaces the oxygen. Oxygen dept often occurs in sprinters as they are running quickly without taking any breaths.
What are the steps in oxygen cycle?
The steps of the Oxygen Cycle are 1. A plant does Photosynthesis to let off Oxygen for organisms to use. 2.The humans use up the Oxygen through Respiration and let off Carbon Dioxide. 3. The Carbon Dioxide is then passed from the humans to the green plants once again. Then it repeats.
What are the implacations of other gases replacing oxygen in the body?
the major implications would be that the cells are not going to receive oxygen which means that they will die because cells need oxygen to perform their metabolic process (cellular respiration). without cellular respiration, the cells will have to ATP and they will not be able to perform their functions. (ie. muscles won't contract... dead cells will cause massive organ failure but before that the organism would suffocate to death because the heart would be one of the first organs to fail from lack of oxygen. it would pump harder and harder and require even more oxygen.
