To complete: The given map to review some of the concepts of gas exchange.
Introduction:
The respiratory system is a biological system that ensures the transport of air by the process of inhalation and exhalation, that is, in and out the body with the help of the lungs.
Answer to Problem 1CC
Fig.1 shows the completed map to review some of the concepts of gas exchange.
Pictorial representation: Some of the concepts related to gas exchange are presented in the concept map given in Fig.1.
Fig.1: Concepts of gas exchange.
Explanation of Solution
a.
Correct answer: Respiratory surface.
For gas exchange to occur, the respiratory surface should be thin and moist. Hence, the correct answer is the respiratory surface.
b.
Correct answer: Circulatory system.
Gas exchange relies on the circulatory system as the exchanged oxygen and carbon dioxide travel in the blood to the heart and different body cells. Hence, the correct answer is the circulatory system.
c.
Correct answer: Lungs
It is the main organ for the exchange of gases consisting of air sacs that carry out gaseous exchange and the blood carries the exchanged gas to the tissue cells. Hence, the correct answer is the lungs.
d.
Correct answer: Hemoglobin.
Hemoglobin is a blood pigment present inside the red blood cell, which helps in the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide by binding with it and also maintains the pH of the blood. Hence, the correct answer is hemoglobin.
e.
Correct answer: Cellular respiration.
In cellular respiration, oxygen is used to convert glucose into carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP. Hence, the correct answer is cellular respiration.
f.
Correct answer: Negative pressure breathing.
This type of breathing is regulated by the “breathing control center of the brain”. In negative pressure breathing, the air pressure inside the lungs drops during the contraction of the diaphragm, and the lower portion of the chest cavity rises; this allows the movement of air from outside to inside. Hence, the correct answer is negative pressure breathing.
g.
Correct answer: Oxygen.
Hemoglobin pigment in the blood binds with the oxygen present in the lungs, and this oxygen is utilized to form energy. Hence, the correct answer is oxygen.

- Write the reversible equation that shows the reaction of hemoglobin (Hb) with: A. Oxygen B. Carbon dioxidearrow_forwardCalculate pressure using Dalton's law of partial pressures. A gas mixture is made up of N2 (6.91 g), 02 (7.95 g), and H2 (0.850 g). The mixture has a volume of 27.1 L at 27 °C. Calculate the partial pressure of each gas in the mixture and the total pressure of the gas mixture.

- discuss the mechanism of the bohr effect that occurs during the interactions of Hb with oxygen under physiological conditions in the lungs and tissues. make use of relavant graphs and diagrams to explain your answer.arrow_forwardDetermine the concentrations (in mole fraction) of all species in the exhaust from the incomplete combustion (90% combustion) of butane (C4H10). Assume 50% excess air with respect to complete combustion is the source for the oxygen. Air composition is 79 mol% N2 and 21 mol% O2.arrow_forwardExplain why the gas values from the alveolar air to the blood change during pulmonary gas exchange. For example: Alveolar air for CO2 has a value of 40mmHg then when entering the blood shifts to 45mmHg. Why does this occur? I tried to calculate this by using Dalton’s law but I’m not Understanding.arrow_forward
- List the 4 different types of gas exchange systems. Then, describe eacharrow_forwardCreate an infographic about positive and negative feedback mechanism of regulation of gas concentrationarrow_forwardEach of the following statements briefly describes one of Hb an allosteric interactions. Which of the statements below are false? A drop in the [H+] of blood plasma would lead to a decrease Hb affinity for O₂. An increase in the partial pressure of CO₂ in the tissues would lead to a decrease Hb affinity for O₂- If you inhaled CO for an extended period of time, at partial pressures 1000 fold higher than normal indoor atmospheric pressure, your body would have a difficult time delivering oxygen to your tissues. When the partial pressure of oxygen is low within the atmosphere, your body responds by increasing the biological activity of Hb's negative effectors.arrow_forward
