Chapter 25, Problem 37P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The role of diffusion should be explained in the transfer of O2 from the air to the tissues.

Concept Introduction:

Oxygen is required for various processes in the body and mostly for the very basic metabolism process which keeps us alive and gets the body going. Diffusion is responsible for the transfer of the gasses in the body and it is the transfer of gases from region of high concentration to the region of low concentration.

Compare and contrast diffusion and convection. In what way do they “alternate” in the O2 transport system of a mammal?
A person's daily caloric requirement could be obtained from about 675 g of glucose, C 6 H 12 O 6 What volume (L) of oxygen gas at STP must be breathed to react with this much glucose? The balanced equation is given below . C 6 H 12 O 6 (s)+6O 2 (g) -> 6CO 2 (g)+6H 2 O(l)
How does this temperature dependence affect the amount of oxygen available for fish and other aquatic animals?
