Explain the effect that hypoglycemia has at the cellular level, specifically on cellular respiration.

When a person is diagnosed of hypoglycemia, it indicates that a person has a low (below normal) blood glucose or low blood sugar in the blood. When a person is hypoglycemic, cellular respiration cannot take place. The oxygen that normally combines with glucose, which are supposedly converted to energy (ATP, adenosine triphosphate) during cellular respiration, accumulates in the bloodstream resulting to an increase pH and inactive enzymes - - essentials of cellular respiration.
