Question
Chapter 8, Problem 1FTB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The given blank space in the statement, “the complete breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen occurs in two major stages: ______ and _______. The first of these stages occurs in the _________ of the cell, and the second stage occurs in organelles called ________. Conditions in which oxygen is present are described as _________.”
Introduction:
Glucose is an essential energy source for most organisms. Breakdown of glucose can occur either in conditions, in which oxygen is present or conditions, in which the oxygen is absent. When the breakdown of glucose occurs in conditions when oxygen is present, then it occurs in two major steps.

PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.
How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?
Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?
Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
