Animals often face trade-offs, and one of the goals of modernphysiology is to understand mechanistically why improvementof performance in one way may degrade performance in otherways. In freshwater fish, explain why O2 uptake and Ca2+ uptakeprobably cannot be simultaneously maximized. In other words,why is there a trade-off between the ability to take up O2 and theability to take up Ca2+?
Derivatioh The equilibrium between dissolved CO2 and carbonic acid can be represented by k12 H+ + HCO3 H2CO3 k21 k13 || k31 К23 К 32 CO2 H2O Show that k23 d[CO2] = (k31 + k32)[CO2] - (k13 + 3 )tH* I[HCO3¯1 K dt where K = [H+][HCO3¯]/[H2CO3]. Step 1 of 4 The equilibrium between dissolved CO2 and carbonic acid can be represented by k12 H+ + HCO; H,CO3 k21 k13 k31 k23 К 32 CO2 H2O d[CO2] corresponding to the given equilibrium. (Assume that H2O is incorporated in the appropriate equilibrium constants. Use the following as necessary: [CO2], [H+], Give the expression for dt [HCO3 ], [H2C03], k12, k13, k21, k23, k31, and k32-) k23 H HCO3 d[CO2] (k31 + k32)[ CO2] - (kK13 + k dt Submit
Rat heart muscle operating aerobically fills more than 90% of its ATP needs by oxidative phosphorylation. If each gram of tissue consumes O2 at the rate of 12.0 micromol/min, with glucose as the fuel source. (a) Calculate the rate at which the heart muscle consumes glucose and produces ATP. (b) Consider an alternate scenario – what would be the rate of consumption if the energy source was a solely triglycerides whose fatty acyl chains were each 14-C in length and saturated? (Assume the O2 consumption rate remains at 12.0 micromol/min) (c)  For a steady-state concentration of ATP of 6.0 micromol/g of heart muscle tissue, calculate the time required (in seconds) to completely turn over the cellular pool of ATP if glucose us used as the sole fuel source. What does this result indicate about the need for tight regulation of ATP production? (Note: Concentrations are expressed as micromoles per gram of muscle tissue because the tissue is mostly water.)
