55
Q

besides phosphorus which mineral is needed to make ATP biologically active

56
Q

disease caused by magnesium deficiency in ruminants

A

grass tetany

57
Q

2 amino acids that contain sulfur in their structure

A

methionine
cystine

58
Q

symptom of sulfur deficiency

59
Q

Describe in detail:
How excess intake of sulfur can cause polio encephalomalacia

A

1.) The dietary sulfur is converted into hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) by bacteria
2.) These gases are eructated (burped out) by animal
3.) About half of the H2S is inhaled into their lungs and goes into blood
4.) The blood delivers H2S to brain to exert toxic effects
5.) The H2S inhibits a key enzyme in the electron transport chain (cytochrome oxidase)
6.) As a result, cells in the brain die from energy (ATP) depletion

60
Q

What is the most common reason for ruminants developing sulfur-induced polio?

A

Drinking ground water (high in sulfur)
