Muscle cells in oxygen deprivation convert pyruvate to?

Muscle cells in oxygen deprivation convert pyruvate to lactate through a process called anaerobic glycolysis. This allows for the generation of ATP in the absence of oxygen, but results in the build-up of lactate in the muscles, leading to muscle fatigue and soreness.


A gas that interfereswith oxygen transport by forming a stable bond with hemoglobin is?

Carbon monoxide (CO) interferes with oxygen transport by binding to hemoglobin more strongly than oxygen, forming carboxyhemoglobin. This reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood and can lead to oxygen deprivation in the body's tissues.


Can you suffocate from nitrogen?

Yes, high concentrations of nitrogen can displace oxygen in the air, leading to oxygen deprivation and suffocation, a condition known as nitrogen asphyxiation. This is more likely in confined spaces with poor ventilation.


How many atoms of oxygen are there in CaCO2?

There are three oxygen atoms in CaCO2. This can be determined by looking at the formula of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and noting that there is one less oxygen atom in the given compound.


What hinders the body's ability to absorb needed amounts of oxygen?

Certain medical conditions like lung diseases, high altitudes, poor air quality, smoking, or low levels of hemoglobin in the blood can hinder the body's ability to absorb needed amounts of oxygen. These factors can impair the exchange of oxygen in the lungs or limit the transport of oxygen in the blood, leading to oxygen deprivation in the body's tissues.
