Chapter 16, Problem 1E
Summary Introduction

In the human body, respiration is the process of gaseous exchange between the body and the outer environment. The gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. Nose, pharynx, and larynx are involved as the conducting zone of the respiratory tract.

Answer to Problem 1E

Correct answer:

The correct answer is an option (c) and (d).

Explanation of Solution

Explanation/justification for the correct answer:

Option (c) and (d) diffusion of carbon dioxide from tissues to blood and diffusion of oxygen from the blood to tissues. In the human body, internal respiration is found as the process of diffusing oxygen from the blood into the interstitial fluid and cells. During this process, carbon dioxide is diffused from the cells to the blood. Hence the option (c) and (d) are the correct answer.

The explanation for the incorrect answer:

Option (a) ventilation. Ventilation is the process of both inhalation and exhalation in which the exchange of gases takes place between the environment and body system. So, this is an incorrect option.

Option (b) transport of oxygen in the blood. Transport of oxygen in the blood takes place during the process of respiration, but not specifically internal respiration. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Option (e) oxidative phosphorylation. Oxidative phosphorylation is found as the several redox reactions take place in which the flow of electrons by membrane-bound proteins occurs for the formation of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Conclusion

During internal respiration process, carbon dioxide is diffused from the cells to the blood. Hence, the option (c) and (d) are the correct answer.

The Snapdragon is a popular garden flower that comes in a variety of colours, including red, yellow, and orange. The genotypes and associated phenotypes for some of these flowers are as follows: aabb: yellow AABB, AABb, AaBb, and AaBB: red AAbb and Aabb: orange aaBB: yellow aaBb: ? Based on this information, what would the phenotype of a Snapdragon with the genotype aaBb be and why?   Question 21 options:   orange because A is epistatic to B   yellow because A is epistatic to B   red because B is epistatic to A   orange because B is epistatic to A   red because A is epistatic to B   yellow because B is epistatic to A
A sample of blood was taken from the above individual and prepared for haemoglobin analysis. However, when water was added the cells did not lyse and looked normal in size and shape. The technician suspected that they had may have made an error in the protocol – what is the most likely explanation?   The cell membranes are more resistant than normal.   An isotonic solution had been added instead of water.   A solution of 0.1 M NaCl had been added instead of water.   Not enough water had been added to the red blood cell pellet.   The man had sickle-cell anaemia.
