Because of the Bohr effect, increases in CO2 concentration results in decreased ____________

A

O2 affinity

18

Q

During bird ventilation, in order to facilitate double the amount of fresh air

A

there is not a direct pathway for ventilation

20
Q

________ allow for one way ventilation (expansion and contraction during inhalation and exhalation) in a bird

A

air sacs

21
Q

fresh air passes across parabronuhi during _______ this increases efficiency exponentially

A

inspiration or expiration

22
Q

During insect respiration _________ reduce water loss by producing pressure gradient

A

spiracles

23
Q

Spiracles open and close in order to produce a

A

pressure gradient

24
Q

air breathing bottle makes a ____________ and uses surface tension to stick to abdomen

A

bubble

25
Q

The bubble breathing battle allows for

A

7x more oxygen in bubble

increasing pressure on the bubble is increasing the diffusion of oxygen on spiracles

26
Q

The ________________________ go up with increasing depth.

A

pressure and partial pressure

27
Q

The deeper under water the ______________ rises while the __________ of insect remains constant

A

pressure of oxygen

pressure of oxygen

28
Q

____________a biological mechanism designed to enable maximum exchange between two fluids. The mechanism’s effect is dependent on the two fluids flowing in opposite directions, and having a concentration gradient between them. fluid ONE. high concentration → low concentration.

A

Countercurrent exchange

29
Q

In countercurrent exchange a ____________ is better for diffusion

A

small diffusion resistance

30
Q

in countercurrent exchange a large diffusion resistance results in an increase in gradient making _________________

A

diffusion more difficult

31
Q

_________ the fluids move in the same direction

A

concurrent flow

32
Q

Concurreert flow is driven by ____________

A

pressure gradient

33
Q

In multicapilarry diffusion is ______________

A

small and rapid
