Name the two ways O2 is transported in the blood, andstate the percentage of total O2 transport for which eachmethod is responsible.
Which of the following are TRUE, when describing the Transport of CO2 in the
body?
Select ALL that are true.
The diffusion of CO2, from metabolically active tissue, into the plasma and the
Red Blood Cell, is enhanced by the formation of Carbamino Bonds with plasma
proteins and Haemoglobin.
CO2 diffuses from metabolically active tissue, into the plasma, where it is
rapidly converted to bicarbonate (HCO3-) by he enzyme Carbonic Anhydrase.
Bicarbonate (HCO3-), formed in the Red Blood Cell, is transported into the
Plasma by the Chloride-Bicarbonate Shuttle.
Bicarbonate (HCO3-) diffuses from metabolically active tissue into the plasma,
and from the plasma into the Red Blood Cell.
CO2 diffuses from metabolically active tissue, into the plasma, and into the Red
Blood Cell, where it is rapidly converted to bicarbonate (HCO3-) by he enzyme
carbonic Anhydrase.
O At the lung, Bicarbonate (HCO3-) in the Plasma is transformed to CO2 by the
enzyme Carbonic Anhydrase, reducing the amount of…

- In individuals with hereditary alkalosis, common symptoms include the accumulation of HCO3 (bicarbonate) and an increase in the pH value of the blood plasma. This condition is associated with mutations in the genes that control anion exchange proteins, specifically the chloride-bicarbonate exchanger Band 3. Explain how the anion exchange proteins work in the capillaries of normal people's body tissue and discuss how this process might be disrupted in alkalosis patients and lead to these symptoms.arrow_forwardDiagram the four basic steps of O2 transport from an animal’srespiratory medium (air or water) to its cells.arrow_forwardThe O2-binding curves for normal haemoglobin (Hb A) and a mutant haemoglobin (Hb Kempsey) are shown in the diagram.

Those metabolically active tissues require the O2 that is brought by hemoglobin for the same process (cellular respiration). Explain why the effect of pH on hemoglobin’s affinity for oxygen is consistent with delivering it to actively metabolizing tissues.

As the hiker climbs to higher and higher altitudes, the atmos- pheric pressure, including the partial pressure of O2, decreases.
