- Which of the following statements IS true? (Choose only 1 answer) a) The pH value of lungs is lower than that of tissue b) Protons compete with oxygen c) Protons will facilitate oxygen release in lungs d) Production of lactate during exercise will accelerate oxygen deliveryarrow_forwardYou design a new matrix to regenerate skin during skin graft. The matrix have cells that need nutrients, such as glucose. You need to figure out the diffusion profile of glucose into the matrix. Assuming glucose has a radius of 1.0nm, you are interested in diffusion from the blood vessels into the matrix, which are 1cm away. The blood viscosity is 3cP, and the glucose concentration in the blood is 4mM. What is the initial flux of glucose? (use 1.38 * 10^-23 J/K for Boltzmann's constant).arrow_forwardYour classmates are discussing what happens during cellular respiration. Whose statement most accurately describes the process? (a) Nate: Molecules in our food react with oxygen and break apart, releasing energy, and then reform as different molecules (b) Ethan: Oxygen and food mix together, and our bodies use that mixture for energy (c) Kim: Oxygen comes in through our lungs, and then transforms into carbon dioxide before it goes back out (d) Imani: Oxygen and molecules from our food cause a chemical reaction, and some of the atoms recombine to form energyarrow_forward
- The transport of a certain molecule exhibits the following characteristics: (1) The molecule moves down its concentration gradient; (2) at concentrations above a given level, there is no increase in the rate of transport; and (3) cellular energy is not required for transport to occur. Which type of transport process is at work?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is incorrect about membrane transport systems? a. Glucose transport in red blood cells is a uniport system b. The Na+/K+ ATPase is an antiport system c. The H+/K+ ATPase is an active transport system d. The chloride-bicarbonate exchanger in erythrocytes is a uniport systemarrow_forwardA student looked at the results and concluded that a decrease in PH does cause a decrease in the force of muscle contraction. Use figure 3 to evaluate this conclusion.arrow_forward
- Whether in a gas, a liquid, or a semisolid, diffusion always occurs a). at the same rate. b). from high to low solute concentration. c). faster at lower temperaturesd). from low to high solute concentration.arrow_forwardHow is Co2 transporter in the body and write the equation that demonstrates this ?arrow_forwardWhen you exercise, your muscles are using ATP to do the movements. Thus, the cell is doing cellular respiration in order to replace the ATP it has used. A) Draw a series of diagrams showing the energy transfers that occur during exercise (include: ATP, muscle, heat, cell respiration, glucose). B) When we exercise, we produce a lot of heat, to cool us down, our body produces sweat. According to the laws of thermodynamics, where is the heat coming from? C) When we exercise to lose weight, where is that mass going (do we sweat it out, it turns into heat, becomes digestive waste, how do we eliminate it?)?arrow_forward
