Explain why glucose consumption must increase in hypoxic tissues to provide the same amount of atp that could be produced from glucose in normoxic (normal o2 levels) tissues. a) oxygen is the limiting reactant in atp producing, so atp is produced in hypoxic tissues slowlier than in normoxic tissuesb) in hypoxic tissues, in contrast to normoxic tissues, atp is additionally consumed to transform lactate to pyruvate. c) in hypoxic tissues, atp is produced only by glycolysis, whereas in normoxic tissues, the citric acid cycle + oxidative phosphorylation can be used. d) in hypoxic tissues, atp is produced only by glycolysis, whereas in normoxic tissues, the citric acid cycle + oxidative phosphorylation can be used.
