The lungs deliver a regular supply of oxygen to the blood, which is in turn circulated to most of the cells of the body. At the same, time oxygen is consumed during aerobic cellular respiration within these cells. This implies that oxygen requires active transport to enter most cells the rate of oxygen diffusion is independent of concentration oxygen will passively diffuse into the cells the concentration of oxygen is higher inside of the cell relative to outside of the cell

A current working hypothesis is that human diseasescharacterized by incurable weakness and lethargy may sometimesarise in part from loss of blood capillaries. Basing your answer onthe laws of diffusion, explain how transport to and from a tissuewould be affected if 20% of its capillaries were lost.

One of the effects of low oxygen levels in cardiac cells is arise in cytoplasmic calcium levels as a result of the depressedactivity of the plasma membrane’s Ca2+-ATPase. What aresome of the consequences of this phenomenon?
When William H. was helping victims after a devastating earthquake in a region not prepared to swiftly set up adequate temporary shelter, he developed severe diarrhea. He was diagnosed as having cholera, a disease transmitted through unsanitary water supplies contaminated by fecal material from infected indiv iduals. The toxin produced by cholera bacteria causes Cl- channels in the lurninal membranes of the intestinal cells to stay open, thereby increasing the secretion of Cl- from the cells into the intestinal tract lumen. By what mechanisms would Na+ and water be secreted into the lumen in conjunction with Cl- secretion? How does this secretory response account for the severe diarrhea that is characteristic of cholera?
Jogging is considered aerobic exercise because the cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels) can adjust to supply the oxygen needs of working cells. In contrast, sprinting the 100-meter dash might be called anaerobic (lacking oxygen) exercise, and golf nonaerobic exercise. Explain these last two observations.

The cell membranes of mammalian red blood cells are permeableto urea. If red blood cells are dropped into a solution of urea thatis identical in osmotic pressure (isosmotic) to the cytoplasm ofthe cells, although the cells do not swell and burst as quickly aswhen they are dropped simply into pure water, they eventuallyswell and burst. Explain. Also discuss how you would designa solution into which red cells could be placed without everswelling. (Hint: Think about whether urea will stay on theoutside of the cells and the implications for osmotic pressures.)
