摘要: Respiration includes the transport of oxygen from outside organism into cells and carbon dioxide in opposite direction. Cellular respiration, which takes place within cells, consists metabolic processes by energy is obtained breaking down glucose through enzymatic pathways (glycolysis Krebs cycle), creating water, ATP. responds directly to needs. Most toxicants studied have been found reduce rate thus, respiration many organisms. Many studies relied primarily on a single metric, consumption, determine changes rates. In some cases, however, lowered consumption can be attributed reduced ventilation gills or gill damage, other cases toxic mechanism disruption enzymes cellular respiration. Relatively few related effects assimilation measures feeding excretion examined total carbon, nitrogen, budget.
