Q

72
Q

when vertebrates turn to anaerobic catabolism, they almost universally produce…

A

lactic acid, which is never excreted

73
Q

how do some species, such as turtles, survive in anoxic conditions?

A

-individuals will induce brain tissue depression, essentially resulting in induced comatose
-turn on anaerobic pathways to supply ATP needs; ATP demand decreases significantly
-the body produces a LOT of lactate; transported to the shell/bones and is neutralized through a buffer

74
Q

metabolic depression in sea monkeys suggests that

A

-they enter a sustained state of profound metabolic depression when denied O2
- being exposed to ammonia suggests that metabolic depression is dependent on a low pH

75
Q

O2 regulation

A

-maintenance of a steady rate of O2 consumption regardless of the level of O2 in the environment
-often involves active responses, such as an increase in breathing rate as the O2 level in the water/air declines

76
Q

O2 conformity

A

the rate of O2 consumption starts to fall as the environmental O2 level falls

77
Q

O2 regulation/conformity in redline darters (fast-moving streams)

A

-O2 levels tend to be higher because turbulence creates greater aeration
-lowering the concentration of O2 to 40-50% of the fully aerated levels causes a sharp depression of O2 uptake and deaths

78
Q

O2 regulation/conformity in slack-water darter (slow-moving streams)

A

-O2 concentration may only be one-third as high as in fully aerated water
-these fish exhibit a much broader range of O2 regulation
-lowering the concentration of O2 to 40-50% of the fully aerated levels do not affect the O2 uptake

79
Q

Humans and O2 conformity

A

-when people are asked to work hard enough that they take in O2 at their peak rate, their maximum rate of O2 consumption becomes a smaller and smaller fraction of their rate at sea level as altitude increases
-the cost of any particular form of physical exertion remains the same regardless of altitude

80

81
Q

role of ADH in anaerobiosis

A

enzyme that converts acetyl aldehyde to ethanol

82
Q

what purpose does the conversion of lactate to EtOH serve for anaerobiosis in fish?

A

-it does not increase ATP yield
-its principal advantage is believed to be that it makes the excretion of the carbon chains produced by anaerobic glycolysis possible
-ethanol is lost across the gills into the water that the fish inhabit

83
Q

how does the presence of glycogen stores play a role in metabolic depression for fish?

A

-glycogen stores provide fuel for making ATP that keeps the brain functional in cold environments
-fish exhibit less metabolic depression than turtles, requiring an increased demand for anaerobic ATP synthesis

84

-shoulder girdle is much wider

88
Q

shoulder girdle in relation to limbs situated underneath the belly (placental mammal)

89
Q

primitive reptile pelvic girdle force distribution

A

when the limbs are sprawled, propulsive forces are transferred more vertically through the sacrum

Allen’s “Rule”

A

animals in warmer environments have larger appendages than those in cold environments

135
Q

convection

A

transfer of heat through mobile mediums

136
Q

H convection equation

A

H convection= hc (Ts-Ta)

137
Q

convection coefficient (hc) derivation

A

sqrt (V)/ sqrt (D)
-where v=wind speed and D= diameter

138
Q

how does fur/feathers disrupt convection?

A

-warm air gets trapped in the follicles and circulates
-motionless/slow-moving air insulates very well
-as the air circulates, this increases the Ta, which therefore increases the Ts

139
Q

evaporation

A

-breaking water molecules into water vapor
-pulls apart hydrogen bonds
-energetically expensive, takes ~500 calories

140
Q

thermal radiation

A

a black object will absorb more thermal radiation and become warmer

141
Q

Gloger’s “Rule”

A

animals from humid areas are darker and animal from arid environments are lighter

142
Q

why do male phaniopepla birds have black feathers despite living in the desert?

A

-the black feathers absorb a majority of the heat
-allow for greater convection and airflow

143
Q

active evaporative cooling

A

water evaporates from the surfaces of the body

144
Q

shivering

A

-unsynchronized contraction and relaxation of skeletal-muscle motor units in high-frequency rhythms, mediated by motor neurons of the somatic nervous system
-when a muscle shivers, the conversion of ATP bond energy to heat becomes the primary function of contraction
-energetically expensive

145
Q

non-shivering thermogenesis

A

-very common in placental mammals
-brown adipose tissue (BAT)

146
Q

brown adipose tissue

A

-receive a rich supply of blood vessels
-well innervated by the sympathetic nervous system
-rich in mitochondria
-releases norepinephrine—> increasing the oxidation of stored lipids

147
Q

UCP1 in BAT

A

-suspends the ordinary controls on the rate of aerobic catabolism, permitting unbridled rates of lipid oxidation
-causes the chemical-bond energy of oxidized lipid molecules to be released immediately as heat
