"Into Thin Air" A Case Study in Physiology Part II Gasping for Air by Jennifer Lundmark Department of Biological Sciences Califo
rnia State University, Sacramento John, the assistant expedition leader and a seasoned alpinist, helped Tom guide Mark down the steep trail. Mark's breathing, increasingly labored with every passing moment, was loud enough to worry Emily and Pete, the expedition's final climber. "Geez, do we sound like that?" gasped Pete. "I mean, I'm out of breath, too, but he sounds horrible!" "No, we're not that bad. Remember, that's why we spent the prep month at 15,000 feet. Mark was with us, so he experienced the same physiological changes we did. This," Emily nodded at Mark, "is some sort of problem." Questions: 1. What physiological changes is Emily referring to (above) that will occur when someone lives at altitude for an extended period? 2. How are these changes advantageous?3. What is the specific physiological pathway that results in the changes described?
1. The physiological changes that will occur when someone lives at altitude for an extended period include increased production of more red blood cells.
2. The changes are advantageous as the person can survive lower altitude better and strenuous activities that interferes with breathing.
3. The specific physiological pathway that results in the changes described involves decrease in pulmonary ventilation at high altitude leading to hypoxia then hypoxemia. The body then produces more red blood cells to counteract the lower oxygen saturation in blood in high altitudes.
Events of Prophase I (save for synapsis and crossing over) are similar to those in Prophase of mitosis: chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the nucleolus dissolves, nuclear membrane is disassembled, and the spindle apparatus forms. Major events in Prophase I.
Answer:They can tell by what type of fossils there are
Explanation:Identification of the minerals in a rock is the first thing you do. You can do it in some highly granular rocks with nothing more than a magnifying hand lens. This is called hand specimen examination. This a qualitative analysis.
