Which of the following impairs cellular metabolism in shock?
A) Impaired use of both oxygen and glucose
B) Impaired use of oxygen only
C) Impaired use of glucose only
D) Impaired use of metabolic substrates and glucose

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cellular metabolism requires both oxygen and glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP. In shock, there may be impaired delivery of oxygen and glucose to the cells, as well as impaired utilization of both, leading to a decrease in ATP production and impaired cellular metabolism. Therefore, impaired use of both oxygen and glucose impairs cellular metabolism in shock.
