Andrew has lived his whole life in San Diego, CA at sea level. One summer in college he gets a job as a field biologist in the Colorado Rockies (elevation
7500 ft. above sea level). The first week he is in Colorado he experiences altitude sickness from the change in atmosphere. Altitude sickness is
characterized by fatigue and shortness of breath as a result of the thinner air which contains less oxygen.
a. How does Andrew's fatigue and shortness of breath relate to the cellular respiration pathway?
be.
b. What would you expect to find if you test the level of lactic acid in Andrew's blood? Explain your answer.
.9
C. A couple weeks later, Andrew is feeling better but he noticed that his appetite has increased. Explain why this might be.

EVOLUTION LINK What are the advantages of having millions of alveoli rather than a pair of simple, balloonlike lungs?arrow_forwardSome patients with severe emphysema have constant high levels of carbon dioxide because of inadequate ventilation. The central nervous system breathing center in these patients becomes insensitive to carbon dioxide and more dependent on the level of oxygen, which is low. These patients are said to have “oxygen-dependent respiratory drive". What might happen if you give such a person high levels of supplemental oxygen?

- What is the biophysical reason that myoglobin (as opposed to hemoglobin) could never play the role of the oxygen transport system in the human body? 1. It binds oxygen too tightly 2. It binds oxygen too weakly 3. It binds oxygen too slowly 4. It does not bind oxygen cooperativelyarrow_forwardExercise 3 # 1 - What are acclimatizations to high altitude? Choose all correct. O larger heart O larger lungs V increased production of red blood cells O increased respiration Question 4 Exercise 3 #4 - What adaptation(s) has/have Andeans evolved for life at high altitude? O increased respiration O higher capillary density O more red blood cells than other populations O increased blood flow Question 5 If an Andean came to visit you at West LA College, which is at sea level, would they lose their adaptation to altitude? O No, because bodies do not change in new environments. O Yes. Because they would no longer need their high altitude adaptation, their body would soon perform like that of a lowlander. O No, because they have an evolved adaptation to high altitude that makes them genetically different from lowlanders.arrow_forwardTest Your Understanding 7.
