What are two (2) advantages of breathing air, compared with obtaining Dissolved Oxygen from water? (choose two answers)

Air is much lighter and easier to move than water making respiration easier
Air contains a much higher concentration of Oxygen than water
Breathing atmospheric air does not require any loss of water
Air-breathing requires no energy to ventilate the respiratory surfaces

The reason animals need a continuous supply of Oxygen is to

obtain the most energy from their food.
make Carbon Dioxide.
carry out Glycolysis.
synthesize Protein.
take in Carbon Dioxide.

In Exhalation, ______________.

the Diaphragm moves downwards, decreasing the pressure around the Lungs.
the Diaphragm moves upwards, increasing the pressure around the Lungs.
the Diaphragm moves upwards, decreasing the pressure around the Lungs.
the Diaphragm moves downwards, increasing the pressure around the Lungs.

The process of Inhalation in the Mammalian Respiratory System is by increasing the space around the outside of the lung which decreases the pressure on the outside of the lung and allows air to come into the lung under Negative Air Pressure.

We performed a final experiment where we determined the tightness of DNA packaging for this gene in wild-type toe cells, and in toe cells in which the Talon enhancer had been mutated as described for constructs g-k. In this experiment we isolated chromatin and determined if an enzyme cuts in the gene very well or very poorly, depending on how tightly packed the DNA is at the site of cutting.

c. Suggest why the ability of an enzyme to cut chromatin at a specific location might tell us about chromatin structure; specifically packing of DNA.

In this experiment, poor cutting gives a 7kb fragment of DNA, while fragments of 4kb and 3kb indicate good cutting of the DNA. The results are indicated below:

Construct                   DNA fragments observed    Chromatin structure

                                                                                    (tight, loose or intermediate)

g                                  4kb, 3kb

h and i                         7kb, 4kb, 3kb

j                                   7kb     

k                                  4kb, 3kb

d. Complete the table above to indicate the chromatin structure implied for each construct.

1- What is the necessary item for glycolysis to continue to aerobic cellular respiration instead of lactic acid fermentation?
2- Unless you are dead (no respiration, no blood circulation), are your muscle cells getting some of this? Explain.
3- Therefore, a better explanation might be: “If a cell is only getting 75% as much O2 as it needs to make enough ATP through aerobic cellular respiration, then (what %?) of the pyruvates from glycolysis will go into the mitochondria.”
4- In the above situation, what will happen to glycolysis rates that move forward to lactic acid fermentation? Why?
