Chapter 46, Problem 3TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Some animals like sharks, fishes, and crabs have ventilating and gas exchange system similar to geothermal HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) systems of air-conditioning. These animals take advantage of one-way flow of water over their gills to maximize the gas exchange.

In a biology lab, it is critical to de-gas a polyacrylamide gel solution before pouring it so that gas bubbles do not form in the gel. What could you do to decrease the solubility of a gas in the polyacrylamide solution?
Select one:
a. Increase the temperature, and decrease the pressure.
b. Decrease the temperature, and increase the pressure.
c. Decrease the temperature, and decrease the pressure.
d. Increase the temperature, and increase the pressure.
Scientists were studying the effects exercise (running on a treadmill) has on the amount
CO2 production and breathing rates on humans. Their conclusion was that a person who
just completed a bout of exercise would have higher CO2 production and increased
breathing rates when compared to when they were sitting in a chair. They also found that
CO2 production and breathing rates would increase the longer they exercised.
Based upon what we know about cellular respiration and energy production, select the reason
that best explains the results of the testing above,
CO2 production increases because CO2 is being made in the electron transport
chain to keep the electrons moving.
Breathing rates will increase in order to get rid of the lactic acid from working
muscles.
CO2 production increases because more of this is made as a direct result of
glucose being split for energy.
Breathing rates will increase with exercise in order to supply the muscles with
more O2.

Which of the following is a true statement?
A. The concentration of oxygen in water is greater than that in air.
B. In animals with gills, ventilation helps to reduce the thickness of the
boundary layer.
C. Countercurrent flow at the gas-exchange surface results in the
diffusion gradient across surface.
D. Mammalian lungs requires the diaphragm because the lungs are
relatively stiff and filled with parabronchi.

- You receive animal care and use committee approval to catch a fish, prop open its operculum (gill cover), tie a string around its tail, and tow it backwards through the water for experimental purposes. The fish is then released unharmed. This action forces water to flow backwards over the gill filaments and in between the gill lamellae. What effect would this backwards water flow have on respiration? It would reduce efficiency of gas exchange between water and blood The only effect would be due to the fish's discomfort from this treatment. O It would improve efficiency of gas exchange between water and bloodarrow_forwardWhen tissue of the body are unloading CO2 into the blood, what best describes what happens to most of the CO2? A. Most of the CO2 unloads into the blood plasma where it reacts with water to become HCO3- B. Most of the CO2 unloads into the red blood cell where it reacts with water to become HCO3-, which is then transported out of the red blood cell and directly into the blood plasma. C. Most of the CO2 binds to hemoglobin in the red blood cell. D. Most of the CO2 unloads into the blood plasma where it reacts with water to become HCO3-, which is then transported directly into the red blood cell.arrow_forwardIn insects, O₂ moves from the gas exchange surface to the cells primarily by: A. Diffusion B. Active transport C. Convection D. Conduction E. None of the abovearrow_forward
- 8)After blood is “used” by cells, in other words they’ve taken the oxygen, where does it go? Select one: a. Back to the lungs for more oxygen b. Back to the heart and then on to the lungs for more oxygen c. Back to the heart to return to the body for more oxygen d. Back to the capillary beds for more oxygen e. Back to the brain, where the oxygen level is monitoredarrow_forwardO2 bound to hemoglobin: a. acts the same as physically dissolved oxygen b. Comes off the hemoglobin (dissociates) more easily as you increase the oxygen partial pressure c. exerts a partial pressure d. Comes off the hemoglobin (dissociates) more easily as you increase the acidity (decrease the pH) e. all the options are correct 2. Air convection in mammals is driven by a smaller pressure gradient than blood convection because: a. Bronchioles have a greater resistance to flow than arterioles b. bronchioles tend to have a smaller radius than arterioles and capillaries c. air is easier to move with pressure gradients than blood d. air generally travels farther in your body than does blood e. air is heavier than blood 3.

The mechanical energy…arrow_forward) At a glance, does the science behind the Lumen device seem logical? Why do you think so? 2) Is measured CO2 truly an indicator that you are "burning" (breaking down for energy) ONLY carbs, or do you exhale CO2 no matter which of the Big 3 you're burning?arrow_forward
