2. Michael P. was very weak from birth, with poor muscle tone, difficulty breathing, and great fatigue. By his third month, he began having seizures. Michael’s medical tests were normal except for one: his cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord) was unusually high in glucose. Hypothesizing that the boy could not produce enough ATP, doctors gave him a diet rich in certain fatty acids that caused the cellular respiration pathway to resume at the point of acetyl CoA formation. Michael rapidly improved. Explain what caused his symptoms.
HINT What part of cellular respiration was not working in Michael's cells?
A student is accustomed to running three miles at a leisurely jogging pace
topic: blood (please do not copy from google)
3. how do the red blood cells compare to the white blood cells?
a. what is the function of each type of blood cell?
b. how does the structure of the red blood cell relate to its function?
c. how does the structure of the white blood cell relate to its function?

The synthesis of an enzyme that creates the blood clot matrix is part of the complex biochemical mechanism. of blood clotting. This has a self-catalytic, or self-accelerating impact, which means that once the clotting process starts, it accelerates until the bleeding stops. 2. When blood pressure is high, the walls of arteries stretch. These walls' baroreceptors likewise stretch, causing a signal to be transmitted to the brain, which causes the body's heart rate to slow. This reduces blood pressure by slowing the flow of blood through the arteries. 3. When blood pressure lowers, baroreceptors become flaccid, and a signal is given to speed up the heart rate. '4.
