Listed are some hypothetical medical conditions, describe their effect on cellular respiration (specifically refer to the effect they will have on energy production).
a) A person is unable to take glucose into their cells.
b) A mutation occurs in the ATP synthase protein and it is inactive.
c) The mitochondrial inner membrane is very permeable to H+.
Indicate whether each of the following processes would be expected to involve the conversion of ATP to ADP or the conversion of ADP to ATP.
a) Heart muscle contraction
b) transport of nutrients to various locations in the body
Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) within the eye is a disease that is closely
related to atherosclerosis. In ARMD, drusen are formed, which is similar to an
atherosclerotic plaque, and ultimately vision is distorted. Given the close relationship
between atherosclerosis and ARMD, what is likely to accumulate in drusen?
OA) Cholesterol.
OB) HMG-CoA reductase.
OC) HDL.
OD) Mevalonate.

- Diabetic ketoacidosis is characterized by an increased level of ketone bodies, which causes metabolic acidosis. A patient in diabetic ketoacidosis will have an altered rate of ventilation. Will the patient be hyperventilating or hypoventilating? How will a change in the rate and depth of ventilation compensate for an acidosis that is metabolic in nature?arrow_forwardKetoacidosis is a condition that can arise in an individual with diabetes due to excessive production of ketone bodies. Is this condition classified as metabolic acidosis or respiratory acidosis? Explain.arrow_forwardAbsorbed from the intestines into the blood, nitrites (NO2-) interact with the hemoglobin of the blood and block its respiratory function, turning part of the hemoglobin (HbFe2+) into methemoglobin (HbFe3+), unable to transfer oxygen from the lungs to tissues. With the formation of a large amount of methemoglobin, oxygen starvation of tissues occurs, which can cause damage to the central nervous system.10 to 20 % - of methemoglobin (HbFe3+) - asymptomatic cyanosis,20 to 50% of methemoglobin (HbFe3+) - hypoxia develop,> 50% of methemoglobin (HbFe3+) - the person will die.The body weight of the average person is 60 kg. Blood mass averages 8% of a person’s body weight; blood density ρ = 1,050 g/cm3, the hemoglobin (Hb) content in it is 14 g per 100 ml.molecular weight of hemoglobin 65-68 kg/mol (use 68 kg/mol for calculation).

A) Describe the consequences of glucosamine exposure on cellular respiration. B) Is glucosamine exposure fatal? Why or why not?arrow_forwardIn type I diabetes mellitus, excessive production of acetyl-CoA may surpass the body’s capacity to oxidize it. As a result, acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate, and acetone (ketone bodies) accumulate. When generated in large amounts, blood pH falls, thereby reducing the capacity of red blood cells to carry oxygen.
