<span>Oxygen carried in a hemoglobin molecule is bound to an iron atom.
</span>The red blood cells contain a pigment called hemoglobin, each molecule of which binds four oxygen molecules.
This protein carries oxygen to the cells and carbon dioxide to the lungs.
It is the iron atom<span> that binds </span>oxygen<span> as the blood travels between the lungs and the tissues.</span>
Answer:
C. The population will have more possible adaptations.
Explanation:
The adaptations will allow the populations to adapt to the environment better increasing their survival chances.
Answer:
The options showing the different given statements were not provided in this question; however, an orthopaedic nurse receives specialized education and training to care for patients with diseases and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Therefore, an orthopedic staff nurse is required to have a knowledge of the following:
1. Orthopedic cases and surgical treatments for each.
2. Surgical site care and dressing.
3. Pain management.
4. Intravenous and Intramuscular drug administration.
5. Vital signs check and significant changes.
6. Post-op care of patient.
7. Casting
8. External fixation care
9. Neurovascular status monitoring
10. Traction
Answer:
A. If the aerobic pathway—cellular respiration—cannot meet the energy demand, then the anaerobic pathway—lactic acid fermentation—starts up, resulting in lactic acid buildup and "oxygen debt."
C. After about 90 seconds of intense exercise, the muscles become depleted of oxygen, and anaerobic respiration can no longer function to produce ATP, resulting in "oxygen debt."
Explanation:
There are two sources of carbohydrates in the human's body for energy (ATP) production. 1) Creatine phosphate and 2) Glycogen. Creatine phosphate metabolizes easily and yields ATP quickly. Whereas glycogen is stored form of carbohydrate which yields energy more slowly. Therefore, initially, our bodies use creatine phosphate and then shift to glycogen. Within 60-90 seconds, the creatinine phosphate in the body is mostly utilized and then energy is produced by the use of glycogen in aerobic pathway. During areobic pathway, oxygen supply is sufficient and per cycle, it produces 32 molecules of ATP. However, when oxygen supply is limited or absent, the body will metabolize glycogen to lactic acid via fermentation and produce only 2 molecules of ATP.
Now consider the example: Kenny hikes all day at a steady pace therefore the supply of oxygen is sufficient for aerobic cellular respiration for ATP production. In this scenario, the oxygen debt is minimal and Kenny relies on aerobic respiration pathway to obtain energy. On the other hand, Janelle runs fast (100 meters in 13.5 seconds) and her cellular respiration would be on the compense of aerobic pathway initially which will be shifted to anaerobic pathway after the supply of oxygen is reduced/minimum. Janelle will heavily rely on the anaerobic pathway because running fast needs energy which cannot be provided via aerobic pathway easily. Therefore, Janelle's body will produce lactic acid and suffer from oxygen debt.
