Question 51 (6 points) You have discovered a new species of animal and you take a blood sample to conduct various biochemical tests. You discover that red blood cells of this animal use glucose at a much slower rate and produce much less lactic acid but more water than mammalian red blood cells in a normal oxygen environment. What do you predict will happen if you were to deprive both types (human and your new animal) of oxygen? A. The rate of glucose consumption and the lactic acid production would increase in the new species' red blood cells but remain constant in the mammalian red blood cells B. The rate of glucose consumption and the lactic acid production would decrease in the new species' red blood cells but remain constant in the mammalian red blood cells C. The rate of glucose consumption and the lactic acid production would increase in the mammalian red blood cells but remain constant in the new species' red blood cells D. The rate of glucose consumption and water production would increase in the new species' red blood cells but remain constant in the mammalian red blood cells Choose the correct option above explaining how you came to that conclusion. Include in your explanation the significance of oxygen, water and lactic acid and changes in use of glucose. You should also indicate why the other options are incorrect.
