Help Save & Exit Andrew has lived his whole life in San Diego, CA at sea level. One summer in college he gets a job as a field biologist in the Colorado Rockies (elevation 7500 ft. above sea level). The first week he is in Colorado he experiences altitude sickness from the change in atmosphere. Altitude sickness is characterized by fatigue and shortness of breath as a result of the thinner air which contains less oxygen. a. How does Andrew's fatigue and shortness of breath relate to the cellular respiration pathway? be. b. What would you expect to find if you test the level of lactic acid in Andrew's blood? Explain your answer. .9 C. A couple weeks later, Andrew is feeling better but he noticed that his appetite has increased. Explain why this might be.
BIO 135: Basic Anatomy & Physiology Chapter 14: Respiratory System 8. Gas Transport (p. 347-348; Fig. 14.10) a. 97% of oxygen entering the capillaries in the lungs will be transported to tissue cells in the red blood cells. How is the last 2 -3% of bound oxygen carried to tissue cells? i. When oxygen binds to hemoglobin in the lungs, the hemoglobin changes shape and the name changes to This O₂- blood travels throughout the body supplying oxygen to our tissue cells. to ii. At the tissue cells, oxygen diffuses from concentration from the systemic capillaries into the ECF and then into the tissue cells. Now the blood in the system capillaries have (high or low) oxygen concentrations. This causes the hemoglobin the red blood cells to change shape again and its name changes from oxyhemoglobin to This O₂ -- to pick up more blood is now on its way to the oxygen. b. Approximately. % of CO₂ that enters the systemic capillaries from the tissue cells, will travel as a dissolved gas in the blood.…
