Question 1

the process in which, normally, the body cells break down molecules of glucose to produce energy

Answer 1

Cellular metabolism

Question 2

Answer 15

Epiglottis clear of the glottis opening

Question 16

what two things are necessary for normal cell function?

Answer 16

Oxygen and Glucose

Question 17

Glucose broken down in the presence of oxygen produces a large amount of energy (ATP)

Answer 17

Aerobic metabolism

Question 18

Glucose broken down without the presence of oxygen produces pyruvic acid that converts lactic acid and only a small amount of energy (ATP)

Answer 18

Anaerobic metabolism

Question 19

The by-products of anaerobic metabolism are:

Answer 19

lactic acid and a small amount of ATP

Question 20

The by products of aerobic metabolism are:

Answer 20

• heat
• carbon dioxide
• water

Sodium (Na+) is found where?

Answer 21

outside the cell

Question 22

Potassium (K+) is found where?

Answer 22

inside the cell

Question 23

The first stage of cell metabolism is

Answer 23

anaerobic

Question 24

without oxygen, pyruvic acid is converted to?

Answer 24

lactic acid

Question 25

What happens in the presence of extensive anaerobic metabolism?

Answer 25

cells die, which can lead to organ failure & death

Question 26

the delivery of oxygen, glucose, & other substances to the cells & the elimination of waste products from the cells

Answer 26

Perfusion

Question 27

Ambient air contains how much nitrogen?

Oxygen?

Answer 27

79% nitrogen

21% oxygen
