What is the biophysical reason that myoglobin (as opposed to hemoglobin) could never play the role of the oxygen transport system in the human body?
1.
It binds oxygen too tightly
2.
It binds oxygen too weakly
3.
It binds oxygen too slowly
4.
It does not bind oxygen cooperatively
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. The following events occur when carbon dioxide enters an erythrocyte in a capillary.
1. Hydrogencarbonate ions diffuse into the plasma from the red blood cells.
2. Dissociation of carbonic acid
3. Carbon dioxide reacts with water forming carbonic acid
4. Chloride ions…
Your graphs should have helped you learn about relationship between size and respiration; what is true?
a. Respiration per gram of weight is higher in smaller animals.
b. Respiration per gram of weight is higher in large animals.
c. Respiration per gram of weight is the same for animals of all sizes.

- Perch, Frog and Pig. 1. Why do these organisms require a specialized organ to increase surface area for gas exchange? Discuss organismal volume relative to surface area in your answer. 2. Why are these respiratory structures associated with a large blood supply?arrow_forwardThe atmosphere that we breathe is about 21% oxygen, and our respiratory system has evolved to allow us to thrive at that concentration. However, breathing air with a lower concentration of oxygen is difficult for us, or even fatal (although some other animals can do it). Using your knowledge of normal human respiration, describe two specific modifications to our respiratory system that might improve our respiratory function and allow us to survive at lower oxygen levels (hint: think about things like diffusion, surface area, and oxygen-carrying ability).arrow_forwardHello, A depressed person attempts to commit suicide by taking a whole bottle of sleeping pills. The pills cause a drastic decrease in the pH. The patient starts having breathing difficulties because the thick and thin filaments within the respiratory muscles are breaking down. Please explain why their respiratory muscles are breaking down? Thank Youarrow_forward
