Results from our forumQuestion about neuron oxygen consumption... who is trying to model some neurons in microfluidic devices. I have searched web of science - with minimal luck. I am trying to find how much oxygen a human neuron would consume, along with what factors would cause that to vary (and by how much). I am very new to biology, and am learning as ...

spurts of exhaustion during excersizing... muscle glycogen or such), maybe coupled with the sudden increase with oxygen consumption, which the body also needs to deal with. And it takes a while from the body to ...

Re: so a photosynthetic plant's oxygen production is not at all correlated to its CO2 consumption? Well I did not say that, there is some relationship. The byproduct O2 production occurs in the ...

Comparing Cellular Respiration & Fermentation... it can't be d, so it can be both a and b lol. It is true that you need oxygen to eventually oxidize the lactic acid, but that doesn't mean you have to breathe heavily. Breathing heavily reflects a rate of oxygen consumption, getting rid of lactic acid is a "amount" question--i.e. ...
