Summary Introduction

To review:

Whether the following statement, “Approximately 0.3 mL of O2 is physically dissolved in every 100 mL of the blood for each PaO2 increase of 100mm Hg,” is true or false.

Introduction:

Certain kinds of pathological conditions related to low level of oxygen are treated with administration of 100% (percent) oxygen at an increased pressure. This kind of therapeutic treatment is known as hyperbaric medicine. The patients are subjected to a hyperbaric chamber which helps in increasing the level of oxygen in the body tissues, but with some disadvantages.

Hydrogen bonds play an important role in stabilizing and organizing biological macromolecules. Consider the four macromolecules discussed. Describe three examples where hydrogen bond formation affects the form or function of the macromolecule.
Imagine you are a botanist.  Below are characteristics of a never-before described plant species recently identified as part of the ‘All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory’ (ATBI).   Field Notes:  Specimen collected from shaded area along stream in South Cumberland State Park                 (Grundy County, TN). Laboratory Analysis:  Body:  Large leaves emerging from underground rhizome. Size: 63 cm  Chromosomal Analysis: Plant body is diploid—chromosome number of 44. Lignin test: Positive Cuticle: Present Leaves:  Present—large with branched veins. Underside has sori (containing haploid spores). Roots: Present—branch from the inside. Stem: Present—vascular tissue (xylem & phloem) present. Life History:  Diploid sporophyte dominant generation.  Haploid spores germinate into heart-shaped, haploid, gametophyte.  Water required for fertilization; no seed is produced.  Diploid zygote develops into sporophyte. Explain which domain, kingdom and phylum you believe this plant should be classified…
