Question

Kangaroo rats live in the desert of the southwestern United States. They have many adaptations to minimize water loss. They obtain a small amount of water from seeds that they eat. However, the rest of the water they obtain is from cellular respiration. This cannot be true, as cellular respiration doesn't really "produce" water This cannot be true, as water is actually consumed in cellular respiration This could be true, as water is produced in cellular respiration This could be true, as water is produced in glycolysis This could be true, as water is produced in the citric acid cycle

the-ship-of-the-desert-camels-require-very-little-water-because-they-are-able-to-tolerate-relative-4

"The Ship of the Desert." Camels require very little water because they are able to tolerate relatively large changes in their body temperature. While humans keep their body temperatures constant to within one or two degrees Celsius, a dehydrated camel permits its body temperature to drop to $34.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ overnight and rise to $40.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ during the day. To see how effective this mechanism is for saving water, calculate how many liters of water a $400 \mathrm{~kg}$ camel would have to drink if it attempted to keep its body temperature at a constant $34.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ by evaporation of sweat during the day (12 hours) instead of letting it rise to $40.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .$ (Note: The specific heat of a camel or other mammal is about the same as that of a typical human, $3480 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K}$. The heat of vaporization of water at $34^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is $\left.2.42 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kg} .\right)$

Why is cellular respiration referred to as an aerobic process? Water is required for it to occur. Cell motility is required. It generates energy as a product. Oxygen is required for it to occur. Oxygen is not required for it to occur. Which is a simplified version of cellular respiration? Glucose + nitrogen yields carbon monoxide + water. Carbon dioxide + water + light yields glucose + oxygen. Glucose + oxygen yields carbon dioxide + water. Protein + water yields amino acids + carbon dioxide. Pyruvate is a product of glycolysis and is subsequently converted to acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is a substrate for the citric acid cycle (CAC). Exactly how many molecules of glucose must be oxidized in glycolysis to provide the input for four turns of the CAC? 1 2 4 8 Which one of the following can happen with or without oxygen? Citric acid cycle (Krebs). Fermentation. Glycolysis. Electron transport chain (ETC). During glycolysis, glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvic acid (pyruvate). Each pyruvate contains ____ carbon atoms. Glycolysis generates a total of four ATP molecules per glucose for a net gain of only two ATP. Why does one glucose through glycolysis have a payoff of only two ATP molecules? Two ATP molecules are used in the first phase of glycolysis, reducing the net gain to two ATP. Two ATP are destroyed in the making of pyruvate. Two ATP are used after glycolysis is complete, so this is a reminder. None of these statements are true. In eukaryotic cellular respiration with oxygen, cytoplasm -> glycolysis -> pyruvate -> Citric Acid Cycle (CAC) -> mitochondria converts glucose to pyruvate, which must enter the cytoplasm -> glycolysis -> pyruvate -> Citric Acid Cycle (CAC) -> mitochondria before cytoplasm -> glycolysis -> pyruvate -> Citric Acid Cycle (CAC) -> mitochondria can begin. Match these terms concerning glycolysis. A. Glycolysis yields a net gain of two of these molecules. B. Carbohydrate that enters glycolysis. C. An end product generated that contains 3 carbons. D. To power glycolysis two of these are used. A. ATP B. Pyruvate C. Glucose Mark the components of aerobic cellular respiration in eukaryotes. Glycolysis. Citric acid cycle (CAC). Electron transport chain (ETC). Fermentation. Fermentation is one method used without enough oxygen. It can occur in humans during intense exercise. Some bacteria and yeast use fermentation exclusively to generate ATP. Which one of the following is true of fermentation? It generates fewer ATP than aerobic cellular respiration. It occurs in the cytoplasm. When it occurs in muscle cells, you feel the burn. All of these are true.

00:01 That camels are so efficient because they allow their bodies to change a pretty significant amount, which humans can't do.
00:09 And so their original temperature will be 34 degrees celsius and it can rise up to 40 degrees celsius during the day.
00:17 If a camel has a mass of 400 kilograms and a specific heat, which is that close to a human, we want to know how much water would this, how many liters of water would a camel have? have to drink to keep its body temperature pretty much constant by sweating, which is how humans do.
00:41 And so we're going to figure out how much energy it takes to change this temperature.
00:47 And so we have a mass of 400, a specific heat of 3 ,480, and a change in temperature of 40 minus 34.
00:56 So we get a large number.
01:02 This is how much energy it takes to change the camel's body this temperature...
