What happens to the blood as it passes through the liver?
when the blood passes through the liver it carries the CARBON DIOXIDE produced by the liver during cellular respiration
Where exactly are the enzymes involved in aerobic respiration found in the body?
The enzymes involved in aerobic respiration are primarily located in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells, where the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation occur. In addition, some enzymes are found in the cytoplasm, particularly those involved in glycolysis, which takes place before aerobic respiration begins. Overall, these enzymes are distributed throughout various tissues, especially in metabolically active organs like the liver, heart, and muscles.
How many molecules of ATP are produced for each glucose molecule undergoing aerobic respiration?
Cells of Liver and heart produce 38 but other cells produce only 36 ATP
Where does the hepatic vein carries blood from?
The liver.
What carries nutrient rich blood into the liver?
Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the organs.
What is the fetal circulatory structure that carries blood with the lowest oxygen saturation?
The ductus venosus is the fetal circulatory structure that carries blood with the lowest oxygen saturation. It allows blood from the umbilical vein to bypass the liver and flow directly to the inferior vena cava.
What structure empties bile into the duodenum?
The common bile duct is the structure that empties bile into the duodenum. It combines bile from the liver and gallbladder and carries it to the duodenum to aid in digestion.
What is the blood vessel that carries that carries glucose released from the liver some time after feeding?
The hepatic vien carries glocose released from the liver.This really confused me because the hepatic portal vein carries sugar to the liver.
Can Highly aerobic muscle fibers and other tissues can use lactate as an energy source?
Yes, highly aerobic muscle fibers, particularly type I fibers, can utilize lactate as an energy source. Lactate produced during anaerobic metabolism can be transported to other tissues, such as the heart and liver, where it is converted back to pyruvate and used in aerobic respiration. This process helps to recycle lactate and maintain energy production, especially during prolonged exercise. Additionally, lactate can serve as a substrate for gluconeogenesis in the liver.
Does Liver cells convert lactic acid to ATP?
No, liver cells do not directly convert lactic acid to ATP. Lactic acid produced during anaerobic metabolism is converted back to pyruvate through a process called the Cori cycle, primarily occurring in the liver, and then further metabolized to generate ATP through aerobic respiration in the mitochondria.
Is malaria both aerobic and anaerobic?
Malaria is caused by the Plasmodium parasite, which primarily relies on aerobic respiration for energy production when in its mosquito vector and in the human liver and blood stages. However, certain stages of the parasite, particularly in the anaerobic environment of the human red blood cells, can utilize anaerobic pathways. Overall, while Plasmodium can adapt to different environments, it is predominantly aerobic in its metabolic processes.
What is more serious fatty liver or cirrhosis of the liver?
Fatty liver is usually benign, but carries a 10 to 20% risk of developing cirrhosis. Cirrhosis itself can be due to many reasons, and carries a much worse prognosis.
