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.

In order to establish the expiration date of perishable food, growth curve data must be collected. Once the microbial load is so high that it poses a hazard to human health, the food item is no longer considered safe (expired). Generally a load of x50,000 bacteria/gram is considered unsafe. Your task is to determine the microbial growth curves for MicroYo, a new brand of yogurt. The growth is determined by sampling the yogurt and growing the bacterial isolates in broth culture which is then serially diluted by a total of x10,000 and inoculated onto standard petri plates of nutrient agar. The following colony counts are measured: Time (days) MicroYo colony count# 1 1 4 1 12 2 16 20 4 7 What day should you recommend expiring the yogurt (the last possible date before the microbial load is unsafe). 12 4 20 16
