Question 15

Ram ventilation in some fish requires an open mouth and constant movement to push water over the gills.How does this system of ventilation allow for an increased muscle ATP demand when the fish speeds up and a decrease in muscle ATP demands when the fish slows down?

Accepted Answer

Increased ATP demands require increased gas exchange (oxygen absorption and carbon dioxide elimination).The increased ATP demands of muscle movement will cause the fish to swim faster.This increase in speed will cause more water to be pushed over the gills and allow for an increase in gas exchange.As the fish slows down,the ATP demands will decrease and so will the need for gas exchange.

Question 18

What stops oxygen from diffusing back into the lungs after it is in the blood?

Accepted Answer

A)  Diffusion slows once there are equal concentrations in the blood and lungs.
B)  The oxygen levels in the alveoli and blood move toward equilibrium. 
C)  The blood is flowing past the alveoli in capillaries and out to the heart.
D)  Oxygen does diffuse back into the lungs in small amounts, but the overall movement of oxygen is from the high concentration in the lungs to the low concentration in the blood.
E)  All of the above are correct. F) C) and E)
G) B) and E)

G) A) and C)

Question 20

Describe two ethical controversies regarding the use of hypoxic chambers by athletes?

Accepted Answer

1)Not every athlete can afford the chambers so it is not fair―creates a situation where athletes with sponsors or financial means have an advantage over those from poor backgrounds or without sponsorship.
2)The chamber is artificially recreating an environment that is not obtainable in the natural world unless you were to go from high to low elevation on a daily basis.
3)The hypoxic conditions do alter the performance capabilities of the blood to deliver oxygen in a similar way to other performance enhancing drugs.
4)There is some evidence that suggests that this training does not always have the same effect from athlete to athlete and can be dangerous to an individual's health if not closely monitored.
