Question
Chapter 2, Problem 15RQ
Summary Introduction
Some Archaea and Bacteria are planktonic and possess the ability to float in the water with the help of gas vesicles. In a given species, the number of gas vesicles present in a cell varies from a few numbers to hundreds. Such vesicles are permeable to various gases, but impermeable to solutes and water. The diameter and length of gas vesicles vary depending on the species.

- a) At the organelle/molecular level inside a mitochondrion, wWhy do cells engaged in aerobic cellular respiration need O2? At what points during aerobic cellular resp is CO2 released? b) O2 and CO2 do not dissolve in water easily but cells must be moist to have functional phospholipid bilayers. For air breathers, moist lungs might collapse and stick together so what prevents this? c) Aquatic animals contend with the relatively lower O2 levels in water, but at least they don’t have to deal with ventilating lung. Complex gills like in fish maximize O2 exchange with a counter-current system ensuring there is always a gradient between the water and the blood. How does this ensure there is always a gradient between the water and the blood?
