Question
Chapter 11.5, Problem 16P
Summary Introduction
To describe: The functions of prolactin.
Introduction: The pituitary gland is a pea-sized endocrine gland that is enclosed by the protective structure called as sella turcica. It is located at the base of the brain where a pituitary stalk called infundibulum attaches it to the hypothalamus. It consists of three lobes namely anterior lobe, posterior lobe, and intermediate lobe.

6. This diagram shows rates of oxygen depletion and carbon dioxide accumulation in the blood in
relation to the levels needed to maintain consciousness and trigger the urgent need to breathe in
diving humans.
• How might the location and slope of the O2 line differ for diving marine mammals such as
whales and dolphins?
•
How might the location and slope of the CO2 line differ for diving marine mammals such as
whales and dolphins?
•
•
Draw in predicted lines for O2 and CO2, based on your reasoning above.
How might the location of the Urgent Need to Breathe line and the O2 Blackout Zone line
differ for diving marine mammals?
What physiological mechanisms account for each of these differences, resulting in the ability
of marine mammals to stay submerged for long periods of time?
How much ATP will be produced during the following metabolic scenario:
Aerobic respiration of a 5mM lipid solution that is made up of one glycerol and an 8-carbon fatty acid and 12-carbon fatty acid. Recall that when glycerol breaks down to Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate it costs one ATP but your get an extra FADH2. Every two carbons of a fatty acid break down to one acetyl-CoA.
Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in mM of ATP.
If a bacterium using aerobic respiration was to degrade one small protein molecule into 8 molecules of pyruvic acid, how many ATP would that cell make? Assume there is no other carbon source.
Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in molecules of ATP.
