Textbook Question
Chapter 42, Problem 12TYU
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INTERACTIONS Some athletes prepare for competition at sea level by sleeping in a tent in which PO2 is kept low. When climbing high peaks, some mountaineers breathe from bottles of pure O2. In a short essay (100-150 words), relate these behaviors to the mechanism of O2 transport in the human body and to physiological interactions with our gaseous environment.

All our body tissues require O2 for their function. And, Hemoglobin does this job, i.e., hemoglobin transport the O2 to all the tissues. How will these conditions affect O2 transportation? i. If CO2 increases in the lung.ii. If pH increases in the stomach tissue.
If there were little to no Chloride in the blood, what would happen to CO2 transport and why?
Select one:
O a. CO2 transport would not change because chloride is not part of the carbonic anhydrase reaction
O b. CO2 transport would decline because H+ would not be able to bind to hemoglobin
O c. CO2 transport would decline because HCO3 wouldn't be able to exit the red blood cell thus inhibiting the carbonic anhydrase
reaction
O d. CO2 transport would increase because HCO3 would be able to exit the red blood cell more freely
Create a labeled diagram explaining how CO2 moves from cells of the working tissue as HCO3 - in the blood (do not include other ways CO2 moves through the blood). Be sure to include the carbonic anhydrase inside red blood cells and the HCO3 - /Cl- exchanger in your diagram. Write an explanation for your diagram.

Increases in blood H+ result in oxygen binding curves for hemoglobin that are shifted to the right.

Mammals have developed hemoglobin to bind oxygen to greatly increase the amount of oxygen gas that can be carried in blood. How is the majority of carbon dioxide transported in the blood? O Carbon dioxide is produced at such a low level that it can be transported as the gas. O The majority of carbon dioxide binds to amino acids of hemoglobin O The majority of carbon dioxide is bond to specific carbon dioxide-binding proteins in blood. O The majority of carbon dioxide combines with water to form bicarbonate which is soluble in water.arrow_forwardPart C - Exploring the cooperative binding of oxygen Oxygen shows cooperative binding to hemoglobin. Cooperative binding has the following effects on the binding and release of oxygen: Oxygen binding to hemoglobin: When one molecule of oxygen binds to one of hemoglobin's four subunits, the other subunits change shape slightly, increasing their affinity for oxygen. Oxygen release from hemoglobin: When four oxygen molecules are bound to hemoglobin's subunits and one subunit releases its oxygen, the other three subunits change shape again. This causes them to release their oxygen more readily. These two graphs show how cooperative binding differs from a hypothetical situation where binding is not cooperative. • The x-axis shows the partial pressure of oxygen (PO₂). This is a measure of the amount of oxygen present in a tissue. The blue arrows on the x-axis show the partial pressure of oxygen in various tissues of the body. • The y-axis shows the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin (O₂…arrow_forward
