Chapter 13, Problem 1Q
Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason behind an anaerobic condition when the cell could not discard pyruvate as a waste product.

Introduction: The cells growing in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic condition) in which the end product of glycolysis is pyruvate undergoes fermentation. In the process of fermentation, NAD+ is regenerated from NADH by transferring electron to organic molecule like lactate and ethanol.

Explanation of Solution

In the process of fermentation, in anaerobic condition of cell NAD+ is regenerated from NADH by transferring electron to organic molecule. To continue the process of glycolysis in the cell, cells need to regenerate NAD+. So, without the fermentation process there is no other methodical way to generate NAD+. In absence of NAD+, the glycolysis process is discontinued from the step- 6 that is energy generation phage where the oxidation of glyceraldehydes 3-phosphate produce 1, 3-biphosphoglycerate to continue the glycolysis process.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The products from glucose accumulate in the cell unable to generate either lactate or ethanol by fermentation.

Explanation of Solution

In the fermentation process in presence of pyruvate, the NAD+ is reinitiated from NADH by transferring electron to organic molecule like lactate and ethanol. To keep glycolysis continuing in the cell, it needs regenerated NAD+. There is no suitable way rather than the fermentation to produce NAD+. In glycolysis process in absence of regenerated NAD+ at energy generation step of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to 1, 3-biphosphoglycerate will not occur. The product glyceraldehydes 3-phosphate would accumulate in the cell unable to make either lactate or ethanol, neither it would able to regenerate NAD+. So, in this step also glycolysis process is blocked.

Normal dive (for diving humans) normal breathing dive normal breathing Oz level CO2 level urgent need to breathe Oz blackout zone high CO2 triggers breathing 6. This diagram shows rates of oxygen depletion and carbon dioxide accumulation in the blood in relation to the levels needed to maintain consciousness and trigger the urgent need to breathe in diving humans. How might the location and slope of the O₂ line differ for diving marine mammals such as whales and dolphins? • How might the location and slope of the CO₂ line differ for diving marine mammals such as whales and dolphins? • • Draw in predicted lines for O2 and CO2, based on your reasoning above. How might the location of the Urgent Need to Breathe line and the O2 Blackout Zone line differ for diving marine mammals? What physiological mechanisms account for each of these differences, resulting in the ability of marine mammals to stay submerged for long periods of time?
