Question
Chapter 44.2, Problem 2SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The mechanism behind the compensation for a lower-than-normal level of oxygen in the blood by the body.
Introduction:
Red blood cells are flattened disc-like structures that can pass through the thinnest capillaries. Erythrocytes carry a red color pigment called hemoglobin that carries oxygen to different parts of the body. The mature red blood cells (RBCs) lose their nucleus and their membrane provides them essential properties such as stability and deformability, which is very important for a cell. Hemoglobin is derived from the words heme and globin. Globular is a protein, which is rooted in the heme group.

4. This question focuses on entrainment.
a. What is entrainment?
b. What environmental cues are involved in entrainment, and which one is most influential?
c. Why is entrainment necessary?
d. Assuming that a flash of darkness is an effective zeitgeber, what impact on circadian
rhythms would you expect to result from an event such as the 2024 solar eclipse (assume
it was viewed from Carbondale IL, where totality occurred at about 2 pm)? Explain your
reasoning. You may wish to consult this phase response diagram.

e. Finally, give a real-world example of how knowledge of circadian rhythms and
entrainment has implications for human health and wellbeing or conservation biology.
This example could be from your reading or from things discussed in class.
