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.

- Within a cell, the complete breakdown of glucose to generate ATP occurs by two fundamentally different mechanisms. Name and briefly describe these mechanisms.arrow_forwardA human pancreatic cell obtains O2—and necessary molecules such as glucose, amino acids, and cholesterol—from its environment, and it releases CO2 as a waste product. In response to hormonal signals, the cell secretes digestive enzymes. It also regulates its ion concentrations by exchange with its environment. Based on the structure and function of cellular membranes, describe how such a cell accomplishes these interactions with its environment.arrow_forwardUnder extensive energy needs cells are constantly converting sugar into CO2 as a result of cellular respiration. In order for this process to occur cells need a significant amount of Oxygen. Explain how the production of CO2 and other biproducts of cellular respiration leads to efficient delivery of Oxygen to the cell. ( hint: think T&R state)arrow_forward

- what part of the organelle of the cell glycolysis occurs?arrow_forwardThe cardiovascular, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems all work together to ensure that cells of the human body are able to carry out vital reactions, including aerobic respiration and protein synthesis. Question. Write a short account to explain how each of these three systems ensures that cells receive the required raw ingredients needed for such cellular reactions and how two of the systems contribute to the removal of the waste products created. Completion Note: (All three systems must be considered, and should include specific detail such as the role of named enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract and named biomolecules transported to and from cells. It is also important to briefly outline why body cells need to carry out aerobic respiration and protein synthesis.)arrow_forwardThe transport of glucose into most cells occurs by facilitated diffusion. Because diffusion occurs from a higher to a lower concentration, glucose cannot accumulate within these cells at a higher concentration than exists outside the cell. Once glucose enters a cell, it is rapidly converted to other molecules, such as glucose phosphate or glycogen. What effect does this conversion have on the cell' ability to transport glucose?arrow_forward
