9. Doctors tested a patient to find out what molecules were in her cells. Her cells contained normal levels of oxygen molecules, low levels of amino acid molecules, and low levels of glucose molecules
Will this patient be able to exercise normally?
a
Yes, as long as her cells have enough oxygen, her body will be able to exercise,
b
No, her cells need glucose to react with oxygen to release enough energy to exercise.
С
No, her cells need amino acids to react with oxygen to release enough energy to exercise.
d
No, her cells need glucose to react with amino acids to release enough energy to exercise.

b. No, her cells need glucose to react with oxygen to release enough energy to exercise.

Explanation:

Living organisms are able to perform any of their day-to-day activities due to the release of energy in their individual cells. The process by which this energy is obtained by their cell is called CELLULAR RESPIRATION. Cellular respiration is the process whereby glucose (from digested food) is broken down in the presence of oxygen to yield energy in form of ATP. The general equation is as follows:

C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 (oxygen) → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

According to this question, a doctor is said to test a patient for the content of molecules in her cells. Her cells were found to contain normal levels of oxygen molecules, low levels of amino acid molecules, and low levels of glucose molecules. This patient will NOT BE ABLE to exercise normally because her cells need glucose in optimal amount to react with oxygen to release enough energy to exercise.

Answer and Explanation:

Dolphins are homodont. This means that all their teeth are all equal. They do not differentiate between each other as the human´s teeth or other mammal´s teeth.

Dolphins have different feeding strategies according to the species. They might be suction feeders, or they might catch their prey using the jow and mandible occlusion strenth.

Dolphins that catch their prey by using their jow and mandible do not chew, so they use teeth mostly to catch their prey and manipulate them before swallowing them. This is why they do not need differentiated teeth. Because they just use them to catch and manipulate.

Those dolphin species that are suction feeders do not need teeth to catch their prey because they just suck them. Most of these species only have a few teeth, mostly in their jows. These teeth are used for fighting with other individuals. Inter- and intra-specific fights among animals of the same gender and age are very common. It is believed that as these species do not need teeth for catching their prey, they evolved loosing most of them but those needed during confrontations. This is the case of Grampus griseus, Risso´s Dolphin, that only have 5 to 7 teeth in their jows.
