What happens to the blood as it passes through the liver?
when the blood passes through the liver it carries the CARBON DIOXIDE produced by the liver during cellular respiration
How many molecules of ATP are produced for each glucose molecule undergoing aerobic respiration?
Cells of Liver and heart produce 38 but other cells produce only 36 ATP
Where does the hepatic vein carries blood from?
The liver.
What carries nutrient rich blood into the liver?
Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the organs.
What is the fetal circulatory structure that carries blood with the lowest oxygen saturation?
The ductus venosus is the fetal circulatory structure that carries blood with the lowest oxygen saturation. It allows blood from the umbilical vein to bypass the liver and flow directly to the inferior vena cava.
What structure empties bile into the duodenum?
The common bile duct is the structure that empties bile into the duodenum. It combines bile from the liver and gallbladder and carries it to the duodenum to aid in digestion.
What is the blood vessel that carries that carries glucose released from the liver some time after feeding?
The hepatic vien carries glocose released from the liver.This really confused me because the hepatic portal vein carries sugar to the liver.
Does Liver cells convert lactic acid to ATP?
No, liver cells do not directly convert lactic acid to ATP. Lactic acid produced during anaerobic metabolism is converted back to pyruvate through a process called the Cori cycle, primarily occurring in the liver, and then further metabolized to generate ATP through aerobic respiration in the mitochondria.
What is more serious fatty liver or cirrhosis of the liver?
Fatty liver is usually benign, but carries a 10 to 20% risk of developing cirrhosis. Cirrhosis itself can be due to many reasons, and carries a much worse prognosis.
Which of the following cells rely on anaerobic metabolism for ATP production?
Red blood cells rely on anaerobic metabolism for ATP production because they lack mitochondria and thus cannot perform aerobic respiration.
Why is the liver much larger than the other organs?
Organ:A multicellular structure containing different types of tissue and which carries out a specific role. A liver: A multicellular structure containing different types of tissue and does a specific job in a digestive system. The liver releases bile which helps to digest fat.
Does the mitochondria synthesize cholesterol?
No, the mitochondria does not synthesize cholesterol. Cholesterol biosynthesis mainly occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum of cells, particularly in the liver. Mitochondria are primarily responsible for energy production through aerobic respiration.
