Jenny, a healthy young woman, had a battery of tests during a physical for a new job. Her RBC count was at the higher end of the

normal range at that time, but four weeks later it was substantially elevated beyond that. When asked if any circumstances had changed in her life, she admitted to taking up smoking. How might her new habit explain her higher RBC count?

Answer:

Smoke-induced oxidative stress limited the oxygen-carrying capacity of the previous red blood cells

Explanation:

The red blood cell (RBC) contains hemoglobin which helps in the transport of oxygen. However, the Jane's smoking must have induced oxidative stress to the cells of her body including RBC, thus compromising it's oxygen-carrying capacity.

Hence Jane's body increased RBC count in order to maintain oxygen supply to all cells of her body.

Which describes the missing step?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The missing step is oxygen is removed from the water after step 3.

Explanation:

The steps listed by Xavier are:

  1. <em>Water is drawn in trough pores and enters the central cavity. </em>
  2. <em>Food is filtered and digested. </em>
  3. <em>Water leaves trough an opening at the top of the body.</em>

Porifera or sponges are aquatic, immobile invertebrates whose structure is saccular with an upper opening, the osculus.

Sponges absorb water through their pores, where the porocytes are found, and through flagellated cells -the coanocytes- the movement that allows the entrance of water to the spongocele or atrium is produced, in addition to the phagocytosis of organic elements.

Once the water is in the interior chamber of the sponges, the organic particles are phagocyted to be digested, and the oxygen is removed from the water, and passes through diffusion into the cell.  The waste products, as well as carbon dioxide, are released into the water that will be expelled through the osculus.

<u><em>In Xavier's list, the missing step is the removal of oxygen from the water, before it is expelled from the body of the sponge</em></u><em>.</em>
