The glucose transport will decrease in low temperatures as it is an enzyme mediated mechanism and the activity of the enzymes decreases at low temperatures.

Decreased temperatures have negative impact on cell membrane and transport. When the temperature is low, the tails of phospholipids become rigid and movement is slow. The overall fluidity of the membrane is decreased and this restricts the entry of glucose into the cell. The glucose transport occurs via facilitated diffusion and diffusion is also a temperature dependent process.

After Frida stops exercising, she continues to breathe heavily. What is most likely occurring in her body?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

(D) Strenuous exercise has caused her body to be in oxygen debt, and she is breathing hard while lactate is transported to the liver. This is a result of anaerobic respiration.

Explanation:

As Frida was exercising, her muscle cells were undergoing a frantic pace of metabolism (contraction and relaxation), where oxygen supply did not supply the required effort, thus causing muscle fatigue and heavy breathing.

Physical activity is synonymous with moving muscles. The more muscle fibers strive to accomplish a task, the more they consume the oxygen brought into the bloodstream. When this occurs, the body begins to breathe hard as lactate is transported to the liver.

This forces the lungs to work at a fast pace, as they are responsible for oxygenation. The heart also speeds up because it needs to pump blood more vigorously. This is why during exercise the heart rate and breathing rate increase and we breathe heavily.

1) A specialized function shared by the many cells lining the lungs and the lumen of the gut isA) decreased oxygen demand due to
gogolik [260]

Answer:

B) increased exchange surface provided by their membranes

Explanation:

Alveoli are tiny air sacs that are responsible for exchanging oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the lungs. Alveoli have elastic fibers in order to expand and recoil depending on the volume of air breathed in. The alveolar epithelial cells (pneumocytes) may adopt a shape that serves to increase the surface area of gas exchange. On the other hand, intestinal epithelial cells have microvilli, which are microscopic projections in the plasma membrane. Microvilli serve to increase the cell's surface area, thereby facilitating the absorption of nutrients and water.
