1. The following statement is similar to those you might see on exams. Write a paragraph of 3-5 sentences describing 1) whether

the statement is correct or incorrect and 2) the reasoning for your answer. Your answer should demonstrate your understanding of the physiological concepts underlying the statement and be written professionally. During strenuous exercise, the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right. This rightward shift reflects an increase in the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and favors loading of O2 onto hemoglobin in the lungs. 2. The following statement is similar to those you might see on exams. Write a paragraph of 3-5 sentences describing 1) whether the statement is correct or incorrect and 2) the reasoning for your answer. Your answer should demonstrate your understanding of the physiological concepts underlying the statement and be written professionally. Compared to hemoglobin, myoglobin has a lower binding affinity for O2 and a higher O2 binding capacity, two characteristics that allow myoglobin to efficiently provide skeletal muscle cells with a readily-accessible reservoir of O2.

Answer:

The oxygen dissociation curve represents the percentage saturation of Hb with oxygen at different partial pressure of oxygen. The different partial pressures gives sigmoid shapes to the curve. When this curves shifts to right, it  indicates  low affinity or binding of oxygen by the Hb. it also indicates the unloading or releases of Oxygen by Hb molecules at condition of low pressure. e,g in the muscles during strenuous exercise.However, when the curve shifts to the left, this indicate high affinity for oxygen, great binding, at high partial pressure of oxygen.e,g in the lungs to take oxygen and releases CO2.

Therefore in this scenario, the statement -. <u>During strenuous exercise, the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right.</u> is correct. because oxygen is needed by the muscles therefore ,oxygen should be less binded by Hb,  decrease affinity and easily unloaded to muscles.

<u>The statement </u>This rightward shift reflects an increase in the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and favors loading of O2 into hemoglobin in the lungs is wrong.

As explained above the rightwards shift indicated low affinity of Hb for oxygen(unloading)and  favours unloading at the muscles because during strenuous exercise the partial pressure of oxygen is very low(but that of CO2 high) in the muscles which favours low oxygen molecules  binding by Hb, and easy release to respiring cells.

Match each of Darwin's ideas to the earlier scientist whose work helped Darwin develop the idea.
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Lamarck:

The inheritable traits of species may change over time.

Malthus:

In every species in nature, some individuals survive while may others die.

Hutton, Lyell:

The environment of organisms may change over time.

Explanation:

Darwin's revolutionary ideas were influenced by a number of scientists and thinkers of the time:

Jean Baptiste Lamarck:

A botanist and zoologist, Lamarck, for, the first time, proposed the idea of evolutionary changes or adaptations in organisms in response to changes in the environment. He introduced the concept of inheritance of acquired characters.

Thomas Malthus:

Thomas Malthus was not a biologist, but an economist who proposed the ideas that at the rate of the current population growth, human population would eventually suffer from famine and starvation.This would lead to the deaths of the weakest of the population. This idea inspired Darwin to formulate the idea of "the survival of the fittest".

Charles Lyell and James Hutton:

Charles Lyell and James Hutton were famous geologists who greatly influenced Darwin with their theories about the beginning and evolution of the Earth. Charles Lyell proposed that the present state of the Earth was a result of small, gradual changes. James Hutton theorized that the processes that too place at the beginning of the Earth were still in progress.

Lyell and Hutton's work paved the way for the formulation of the theory of natural selection.

Give a scenario where a cell may need to perform a form of endocytosis and exocytosis
Firdavs [7]
<span>A scenario where a cell may be needed to perform a form of endocytosis is when transporting large molecules.
A scenario where a cell may be needed to perform a form of exocytosis is when releasing the large molecule from the cell. The movement of macromolecules of polysaccharides or proteins out of or into the cell is known as Bulk transport.
Bulk transport is of two types which include endocytosis and exocytosis whereby both require an expenditure of energy. Exocytosis materials are being exported out of the cell via secretory vesicles.
Golgi complex they do package macromolecules into transport vesicles which travel to and spill its content out of cells. Exocytosis is very much important in the expulsion of waste materials out of the cell and also in products secretion. Endocytosis is the process where materials move into the cell.
 Endocytosis is divided into the three types which include pinocytosis, phagocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis.</span>

When you are cold, your muscles begin to contract involuntarily and cause you to shiver. why do you think this occurs? how does
DanielleElmas [232]
Shivering occurs when the core temperature of the body begins to decrease which would threaten normal body function. Shivering is a response by the body to bring back temperature back to homeostasis. Trembling is the continual involuntary contraction of muscles. Muscle activity releases heat that warms up the body. This is the reason why we sweat during physical activities as the body sheds excess heat generated by the muscles in order to maintain the homeostatic body temperatures of 37 degrees centigrade.
