An earthworm absorbs oxygen directly through its skin. The worm has a circulatory system that brings oxygen to all its cells, which are evenly distributed throughout the worm’s volume. A typical specimen of the common earthworm (Lumbricus terrestris) has the following average dimensions: • Length – 12 cm • Radius – 0.32 cm The worm’s skin can absorb oxygen at a rate of A = 0.24 µmol per cm2 per hr (1 µmol = 10−6 moles). The worm’s body uses oxygen at a rate of B = 0.98 µmol per gram of worm per hr. Discuss whether the cylinder-without-endcaps model of a worm seems reasonable. Do you expect that your answers will change much if you include the endcaps? Why do you think the model was simplified to ignore the endcaps?

- Question 19arrow_forwardwing out of the hos Problems from "The MCAT Physics Book" Use the following information to answer questions 33-35: In a chemistry laboratory it is often useful to create a partial vacuum. A simple way to do this involves connecting a wide pipe to a narrow pipe which is connected to a reservoir of water (just the water line). The reservoir has pressure greater than the ambient atmospheric pressure, but once flow is established, the pressure in the narrow tube is less than atmospheric pressure. A valve can be placed in the narrow tube to take advantage of the partial vacuum. Assume that there is no viscosity and that gravity plays no role. Use the following notation: p=density of water Pair density of air = Pres pressure of the reservoir = P = atmospheric pressure A₁ atm = cross-sectional area of the narrow tube A₂ = cross-sectional area of the wide tube V₁ = velocity of water in the narrow tube V2 velocity of water in the wide tube 34.

The transfer orbit to Mars will last for several months and will require reclamation of the oxygen in the carbon dioxide exhaled by the crew. In one method of reclamation, 1.00 mol of carbon dioxide produces 1.00 mol of oxygen and 1.00 mol of methane as a byproduct. The methane is stored in a tank under pressure and is available to control the orientation of the spacecraft by controlled venting. A single astronaut exhales 1.09 kg of carbon dioxide each day. If the methane generated in the respiration recycling of three astronauts during one week of flight is stored in an originally empty 150-L tank at 45.0C, what is the final pressure in the tank?arrow_forward
- 18. Alice, Bob, and Carol are each given identical airtight bags containing identical rocks, and a large tub of water with a scale sitting on the bottom. Each of them measures the weight of their bag and rock by putting the bag on the scale, using three slightly different procedures. Alice closes the bag carefully, so that there is no air inside. • Bob fills the rest of the bag with water before closing it. • Carol closes the bag loosely, so that it contains some air. What is the correct ranking of their measured weights WA, WB, and We?
