Question

Based on the reading on dead zones, if this fish were to find itself in a deadzone, which inputs or outputs would no longer appear in the model? Explain why these would no longer be made. (To help you write your answer use the following guide: The input(s) no longer present is/are _______ and the output(s) no longer made is/are _________. The output(s) wouldn’t be made because…) *

Answer 1

Dead zones contain less oxygen in the water. As a result, The input no longer present is oxygen and the output no longer made is ATP. The output wouldn’t be made because lack of oxygen suppresses oxidative phosphorylation in cells and less ATP is produced in mitochondria though carbon dioxide and law amounts of ATP are formed due to anaerobic oxidation of glucose.
