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.

Discuss how the transition from water to land of vertebrates gradually changed the respiratory system that even allowed most birds to fly in high altitudes without experiencing hypoxia.
Which of the links below are true?
a) The cysteine moieties in the beta globulin - nitric oxide transport
b) The globe component in hemoglobin - carbon dioxide transport
c) The home group in the hemoglobin - oxygen transport
d) Carbonic anhydrase - carbon dioxide transport
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? 1. If CO2 increases in the lung.
2. If pH increases in the stomach tissue.

- 1. carbon dioxide released during respiration can affect the % oxygen saturation of haemoglobin. Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid. Which statements below explains the effect of carbon dioxide on haemoglobin? A. The release of hydrogen ions causes the pH to rise, which reduces haemoglobin's affinity for oxygen. B. The release of hydrogen ions causes the pH to rise, which increases haemoglobin's affinity for oxygen. C. The release of hydrogen ions causes the pH to fall, which increases haemoglobin's affinity for oxygen. D. The release of hydrogen ions causes the pH to fall, which reduces haemoglobin's affinity for oxygen. E. None of the above can explain the change. 2.

- 1) Electric eels are dependent on air breathing. They take up oxygen from the air that they gulp into their mouths and then blow back out. In what way are their mouths similar to gills? A) They both bring oxygen against its concentration gradient from the lower levels in the water or air to the higher levels in the blood. B) They both have large numbers of capillary beds very close to the skin. C) They both have large numbers of microvilli in their respiratory membrane to provide ATP for active transport of oxygen. D) ALL of these are correct. 2) Which of these accurately describes the buccopharyngeal pumping mechanism teleosts use to breathe? A) The volume of oral cavity is rapidly expanded with the mouth closed and the operculum open. B) The volume of the oral cavity is rapidly compressed with the mouth closed and the operculum open.
