Summary Introduction

To analyze:

Aspirin is an acidic substance and its overdose leads to an increase in respiratory rates. The effects of aspirin overdose on the increase of respiratory rates and these increased respiratory rates benefits to the organism.

Introduction:

Aspirin being an acidic substance tends to decrease the blood pH (potential of hydrogen). An aspirin overdose will drastically reduce the blood pH and consequently, increases the rate of respiration to maintain physiological pH of the body. The increased rate of respiration lower down the carbonic acid levels in the blood, which in turn leads to an increase in blood pH, which is compromised by pH drop due to aspirin overdose.

One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?
