4. You are studying the behavior of a perfluorocarbon-based O2 carrier as an emergency treatment for hypoxemia. It has an approx

imate molecular radius of 2 nm. Consider ultrafiltration through the kidney (glomerular membrane pore radius 4 nm, length 800 nm). Assuming a therapeutic dose in the blood of 22 mM and 2 mM in the filtrate, determine the electrochemical potential across glomerular membrane.

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

The molecular radius of the perflurocarbon-based O2 carrier suggests that it passes through the Bowman’s capsule during ultrafiltration. Initial levels of the O2 carrier in blood are 22mM and concentration of the O2 carrier in the final glomerular filtrate is 2mM. Electrochemical potential is the driving source of energy required for the transport of a solute across the membrane. It is also known as the Gibbs free energy G. ΔG’o is the free energy change under standard conditions. Standard free energy change is directly related to the equilibrium constant (K’eq). Equilibrium is the state of the reaction where the concentration of the reactants equals the concentration of the products.

K’eq = [final concentration]/[initial concentration]

K’eq = 2mM/22mM = 0.09

ΔG’o = -RT ln K’eq ; R (gas constant) = 8.315 J/mol.K

T (temperature) = 298 K

ΔG’o = - (8.315 x 298) ln 0.09 = +5.96 kJ/mol

The separation of small molecules and ions from large molecules and cells in the blood is termed as ultrafiltration. The filtered out fluid is known as glomerular filtrate, capsular filtrate or ultrafiltrate. A nephron is a single unit of structure and function in a kidney.

GIVE THE DEFINITION OF EACH WORD.
KATRIN_1 [288]

1. a group of resources treated as a single entity that accepts a combination of materials and instructions to add value through a series of operations; may be either automated or manual.

2. a group of cells that have similar structure and that function together as a unit. A nonliving material, called the intercellular matrix, fills the spaces between the cells.

3. a differentiated structure (such as a heart, kidney, leaf, or stem) consisting of cells and tissues and performing some specific function in an organism.

4. a group of organs that work together to perform a certain function in an organism's body.

5.  complex systems of chemical compounds that, through interaction and environment, play a wide variety of roles. Organisms are semi-closed chemical systems. Although they are individual units of life (as the definition requires), they are not closed to the environment around them.

6. the significance of the charge hosted by a particular atom in a molecule becomes obvious

7. an interacting group of various species in a common location

8. an ecological community comprised of biological, physical, and chemical components

9. the variety of life found in a place on Earth

Locate Lithium and oxygen on the periodic table. Briefly explain how these elements might combine to form a compound.
Mars2501 [29]
<span>Lithium atoms have one valence electron, where as oxygen atoms have six. Lithium atoms tend to give up their single valence electrons, and oxygen tends to gain two valence electrons from other atoms, like lithium. They do this so they will have filled valence shells.  hope this answers your question :)</span>
