Question
Chapter 15, Problem 5CT
Summary Introduction
Case summary:
An individual is constantly reading, which leads to eye strain and fatigue.
Adequate information:
Constant strain on the eye and its associated structure leads to the fatigue of the structure. The main mechanism that is involved in the eye strain that ultimately results in fatigue are,
- Pupillary constriction.
- Accommodation.
- Convergence.
To analyze:
The structures involved in causing eyestrain or eye fatigue.
Introduction:
The eyes consist of three tunics. They are:s
- The fibrous tunic is the outer layer and consists of sclera and cornea.
- The vascular tunic is the middle layer and consists of the choroid, iris, and ciliary body.
- The nervous tunic is the inner layer and consists of the retina. The retina possesses the photoreceptors, for example, rods and cones, to perceive the light signal.

9. Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two
fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure
below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of
the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally
put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your
total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available.
