Lycopene, which is abundant in tomatoes, is thought to have a potential benefit in protecting against many types of cancers. In the study, the results of which are shown in the Figure, mice were exposed to tobacco smoke or normal air. The amount of lung tissue damage caused by each exposure was measured in mice that were given tomato juice (1) or water (2). To estimate the destruction of the alveolar wall, a destructive index (DI) was calculated from histological slides of the lung. All lungs will show some level of damage, but a DI above 10% is considered significant destruction. What is the effect of tobacco smoke on the lung tissue in these mice? Source: Based on S. Kasagi et al. 2006. Tomato juice prevents senescence-accelerated mouse P1 strain from developing emphysema induced by chronic exposure to tobacco smoke.

In carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, CO binds to hemoglobin, therebydecreasing the uptake of O2 by hemoglobin. In addition, when CO bindsto hemoglobin, the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to theleft. How does this shift affect the ability of tissues to get O2? Explain
After spending a day or more at high altitude (with an oxygen partial pressure of 75 torr), the concentration of 2,3- bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) in red blood cells increases. What effect would an increased concentration of 2,3-BPG have on the oxygen-binding curve for hemoglobin? Why would this adaptation be beneficial for functioning well at high altitude?
Do the following conditions cause hemoglobin to release more O2 to the tissues or to absorb more O2?(a) Raising the temperature(b) Increased production of CO2(c) Increasing the H+ concentration
In addition to O2 binding, changes in other chemical conditions can result in changes in hemoglobin structure and function. Increases in blood H+ result in oxygen binding curves for hemoglobin that are shifted to the right. The effect of H+ can be understood in terms of the equilibrium:H-Hb+ + O2 → Hb-O2 + H+How does the difference in pH in the lungs and tissues help hemoglobin do its job of delivering oxygen? Use the equilibrium equation in your argument.
Which of the following conditions DOES NOT cause a “right shift” in the oxygen dissociation curve? A) A decrease in pH (increase in [H +]). B) An increase in [2,3-Di-Phosphoglycerate] (2-3, DPG concentration). C) An increase in body temperature. D) A decrease in oxygen concentration. E) An increase in CO2 concentration
You are studying with a friend who is describing the Bohr effect. She tells you that in the lungs, hemoglobin binds oxygen and releases hydrogen ion; as a result, the pH increases. She goes on to say that in actively metabolizing muscle tissue, hemoglobin releases oxygen and binds hydrogen ion and, as a result, the pH decreases. Do you agree with her reasoning? Why or why not?
Xena lights a fire to keep warm, and cook his green root vegetables, which are extremely alkaline. Xena is so hungry, and she is eating all her green root vegetables making her blood quite alkaline for a short time. An example of the O2/Hb dissociation curve is provided below. The central blue line represents ‘normal blood’, and the typical affinity of Hb for O2. Referring to this figure will help you answer the following questions. Describe how the oxygen transporting capacity of haemoglobin will change for a short time in the presence of alkaline blood and explain the consequence of this change to the oxygen supply of peripheral tissues for this short time. Justify your answers.

Which of the folloqing statements about BPG and its effect on oxygen transport is NOT true? BPG binds more tightly to adult Hb than fetal Hb, thus facilitating the O2 transfer to the fetus. An initial reponse in adapting to higher altitude is increased BPG synthesis in erythrocites. This increase in BPG concentraton will shift the Hb saturation curve to a higher affinity position relative to its sea-level position, facilitating better O2 aborption and transport at higher altitudes. The presence of BPG in mammalian erythrocytes decreases Hb affinity for O2 BPG binds Hb in its central cavity in the R-state but not in the T-state, and in this way decreasing Hb affinity for O2 BPG binds Hb in its central cavity in the T-state but not in the R-state, and in this way decreasing Hb affinity for O2
