Test 3 Flashcards

1
Q

breathing during exercise

A

when initially exercising, no diff from rest
as heart beats faster and blood moves quicker, oxygen diffusion rate out of alveoli will be affected (same amount of O2 loading onto hemoglobin)
during exercise, PO2 returning is 2-3 vs 4-5 during rest

Q

affinity for O2

A

increased affinity means more sticky and vice versa
with increased affinity, saturation occurs with the least PO2

Q

PO2 levels in the body

A

cells get rid of CO2 by putting it in blood
in a cell, pCO2 = 46 mmHg
this stays constant in veins
pCO2 in lungs = 40 mmHg

Q

CO2 entering blood

A

CO2 + H2O => HCO3- + H+
to avoid blood becoming too acidic from H+ buildup, hemoglobin can collect H+ but only when 3/4 oxygen spaces are open

Q

different ways CO2 is moved from cells to atm

A
  1. CO2 is dissolved in blood- following partial pressure gradient
  2. CO2 on hemoglobin- can carry 20+ CO2 molecules
  3. bicarbonate ions dissolved in blood or RBC- accounts for 90% of CO2

Q

chloride shift

A

replacing HCO3- with Cl- in RBC
when this happens, pCO2 = 46 mmHg in blood
dissolved CO2 moves toward alveoli first
H+ moves to alveoli on hemoglobin next
HCO3- then moves back into RBC (opposite of chloride shift), interacts with H+ to create CO2 that diffuses out of RBC

Q

normal pH

A

arterial blood = 7.4
cannot go above 7.7 or below 6.8
outside this range, protein function is interfered with
normal blood pH often varies with body temp in animals that have constant deep body temp (constant relative alkalinity)

Q

application of alphastat hypothesis

A

temp changes alter chemical behavior of the buffer groups on protein molecules
dec temps = inc pK1 vales of imidazole groups = tendency to combine with H+ groups inc
this is avoided by dec H+ conc at low temps

A

Q

acidosis

A

pH is more acidic, below 7.35
respiratory = exhalation of CO2 is dec, inc H+
metabolic = fewer HCO3- in bodily fluids, too much H+

Q

alkalosis

A

pH is more alkaline, above 7.45
respiratory = increased exhalation of CO2 compared to production, dec H+
metabolic = too much HCO3- in bodily fluids, too few H+

22
Q

lungs regulating acid-base balance

A

during mild exercise (no lactic acid), respiration is inc to keep CO2 in check
during strenuous exercise (lactic acid), hyperventilation may actually eliminate too much CO2 (alkalosis), which helps to limit metabolic acidosis caused by lactic acid

23
Q

proteins role in the body

A

proteins provide structure, enzymes, work in muscles, hemoglobin, hormones

24
Q

proteins

A

string of amino acids put together in a unique way

25
Q

essential vs nonessential

A
  1. needs to be introduced to the body through food (9 amino acids)
  2. can come from diet but the body would be able to synthesize themselves without eating them (11 amino acids)
26
Q

foods high in protein

A

beef, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, soy, quinoa, some beans/legumes

27
Q

protein digestion

A

need adequate enzymes to break down proteins in our digestive systems to “free up” amino acids to be used

28
Q

lipid/fatty acid role in body

A

principle components of cellular membranes, important for energy storage, reduce H2O loss to environment

29
Q

fatty acid synthesis

A

occurs in the liver and adipose tissue (fat cells)
stored in adipose tissue until needed to make cell membranes or ATP
monosaccharides or amino acids can be broken down and strung together to make fatty acids

30
Q

essential fatty acids

A

Omega 3 and Omega 6

31
Q

carbohydrate role in body

A

provide immediate energy release for the body (glycogen for animal and starch in plants)
also provide structural properties

32
Q

carbohydrate synthesis

A

all carbs come from diet
either by consuming sugar or breaking down amino acids or fatty acids

33
Q

carbohydrate digestion

A

if we cannot break down poly/disaccarides it is a waste and no energy is gained
humans cannot break down chitlin or cellulose ourselves so no energy is gained

34
Q

vitamins role in body

A

body will fail to thrive without them
besides vitamin D (from UV rays) and B3, the body cannot produce its own vitamins

35
Q

minerals role in body

A

cannot be synthesized by body, so must come from diet
need things like iron for hemoglobin and protein function

36
Q

target, attack, and ingest strategy

A

specialization of (in)vertebrae feeding apparatus enables cohabitation of similar species to target different prey
Ex: zebra and wildebeest both eat in the same areas but zebra mouth is better for tall grass and wildebeest for short

37
Q

criteria for suspension feeding

A

occurs in water
prey are not targeted
prey are small and must be collected in bulk to provide good nutrition
predators mouth must be large enough to open and take in a lot of water

38
Q

suspension feeding

A

enables animals to eat lower on the food chain where energy has been less depleted (ie autotrophs)

39
Q

whale suspension feeding

A

water, upon entering the mouth, is forcefully moved laterally towards baleen plates and forced out
baleen plates catch any food
roqual whales have an expandable throat sac that engulfs water and prey

40
Q

roqual eating phases

A

acceleration (4-10 seconds)
engulfment (4-6 seconds)
filtering (61-97 seconds)

41
Q

symbiosis with photosynthetic autotrophs

A

symbiotic algae live in gastrodermis and pass photosynthetic products directly to the animal cells in each polyp
algae provide food and polyp provide a great place to live
coral bleaching kills algae, leaving polyps without adequate food

42
Q

symbiosis with chemosynthetic autotrophs

A

creating energy using inorganic compounds to build organic molecules
sulfur molecules -> reduced to hydrogen sulfide -> seep into hydrothermal vents -> worm gets hydrogen sulfide -> diffuse into trophosome -> bacteria oxidize inorganic to organic

43
Q

symbiosis with heterotrophs

A

cows cannot break down grass, so bacteria are invited into rumen to create cellulase
some glucose feeds bacteria, but grass protein keeps bacteria from growing too much
bacteria can make extra protein for cow when urea is funneled back into rumen

44
Q

chemical energy vs mechanical energy vs thermal energy

A
  1. comes from food
  2. used to do work (utilizes chemical energy)
  3. unusable energy that becomes heat
45
Q

metabolism

A

sum of chemical reactions that take place in an animal
food is chemical energy and is needed for chemical reactions

46
Q

metabolic rate

A

of chemical reactions that occur in a day
rate at which chemical energy is converted to work and heat

47
Q

what does metabolism tell us

A

measure of how much chemical energy animal is consuming over time
indicates food needs, whether at rest or not
indicates how much drain an animal in a given ecosystem would do

48
Q

indirect caloriemetry

A

rate of oxygen consumption to get metabolism rate
very difficult to accurately measure directly
when glucose is consumed by cells, a fixed amount of oxygen is used and fixed amount of heat and CO2 is produced

49
Q

respiratory quotient

A

moles of CO2 produced per unit time / moles of O2 consumed per unit time

50
Q

RQ values

A

carbs = 1
proteins = 0.8
lipids = 0.7

51
Q

values for O2 molecules consumed

A

carbs = 21.1
proteins = 18.7
lipids = 19.8
mixed diet = 20.2
