Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 6AWK
You have been selected to serve on a jury for a trial involving a young man accused of public intoxication His defense attorney argues that the alcohol found in his system was the result of natural fermentation, that he had just finished a grueling one-hour workout during which his body could not meet the oxygen demand, and that the excess lactic acid that was produced during the exercise was then converted to alcohol by the process of lactic acid fermentation. Should you believe the defense attorney? Explain why or why not.

A new energy drink in stores contains no sugar, carbs or fat. It does, however, contain relatively high concentrations of B-vitamins (B-3, B-5, B-6, and B-12) which our digestive system does not break down. If our useable energy (ATP) is supplied by cellular respiration, where would the energy this products claims to provide come from?

- ______________ commonly occurs within muscle cells during intense exercise. Question 2 options: oxidative phosphorylation alcohol fermentation hydrolysis lactic acid fermentation None of the other answers are correct. respirationarrow_forwardThe reason you breathe heavily while exercising is that your body is trying to take in oxygen to fuel aerobic respiration and generate enough ATP to replenish the ATP you use during exercise. If you are exercising vigorously, the need for ATP might be greater than the amount of oxygen you can inhale. In this situation, your body cells generate ATP through lactate fermentation. As you continue vigorous exercise, your muscles might begin to "burn," causing you to stop and rest. This burning sensation is the result of a chemical buildup in your muscle cells. Based on this information, which of the following chemicals likely causes pain in over-exercised muscles? A. Lactate B. NADH C. Ethanolarrow_forwardthey said that oxygen radicals are reactive, and unsaturated fatty acids are reactive too. does it mean that unsaturated fatty acids are considered radicals? provide a factual evidence why is it true or why is it not truearrow_forward
- what metabolic process is this, and why?arrow_forwardWhen glucose undergoes substrate-level oxidation, it eventually becomes:arrow_forwardAnother problem the evil mad scientist trying to make space humans is encountering relates to the metabolism of the space humans. Because there is no oxygen available in space, the space humans are having difficulty generating enough energy to survive. Why would this be? What other problems might result due to the lack of oxygen? (Think about how metabolism occurs anaerobically).arrow_forward
- What kind of reaction is catalyzed by each of the following enzymes? a. citrate decarboxylase b. oxalate reductase c. serine transaminasearrow_forwardYou hear a fellow student say that the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids requires exactly the same group of enzymes as the oxidation of saturated fatty acids. Is the statement true or false? Why?arrow_forwardGlucose can be used to produce ATP in which of the following cellular processes? a.) Lipolysis b.) Deamination c.) Aerobic cellular respiration d.) Gluconeogenesisarrow_forward
- Which of the following is the preferred fuel source under anaerobic conditions? Group of answer choices amino acids glucose fatty acids lactate Which of the following tissues would be the BEST choice to study if you wanted to perform experiments studying how energy from food is extracted in the citric acid cycle? Group of answer choices liver red blood cells muscle containing lots of mitochondria a tumor Which of the following best describes CoA? Group of answer choices catalytic coenzyme glycolytic enzyme stoichiometric coenzyme building block of fatty acidsarrow_forwardFermentation generates more ATP per molecule of glucose than aerobic respiration is this statement true or false?arrow_forwardAs you learned in class, many enzymes can catalyze the forward and reverse directions of a chemical reaction. If Lactaid was mixed with a solution that is very high in glucose and galactose, do you think Lactaid can catalyze the production of lactose? Please explain your answer in detail, and this question will require some additional research of your own.arrow_forward
