    Study Notes

    Breathing and Respiration

    • Oxygen Saturation (Sats) is measured using an oximeter, showing the percentage of oxygen in the blood.
    • Saturation Levels:
      • 100%: Fully saturated, maximal oxygen carrying capacity.
      • 95-100%: Normal saturation range for most individuals.
      • Below 80%: Indicates poor saturation, risking organ damage.

    Respiration vs. Breathing

    • Respiration: Breakdown of glucose with oxygen, producing water and carbon dioxide while releasing energy.
    • Breathing (Ventilation): Physical process of inhaling (air intake) and exhaling (air release).

    Types of Respiration

    • Aerobic Respiration:

      • Uses oxygen.
      • Produces carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (energy).
      • Chemical equation:
        • oxygen + glucose → carbon dioxide + water (+ATP).

    • Anaerobic Respiration:

      • Occurs without oxygen.
      • Produces lactic acid and some ATP.
      • Chemical equation:
        • glucose → lactic acid (+ some ATP).

    Comparing Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration

    • Similarities:

      • Both processes involve glucose as a reactant.
      • Both release energy and are utilized during strenuous activities.

    • Differences:

      • Aerobic: Produces water and carbon dioxide; takes place in mitochondria; releases more energy and ATP.
      • Anaerobic: Produces lactic acid; occurs in cytoplasm; leads to quicker muscle fatigue and generates less energy and ATP.

    Gas Exchange System

    • Breathing During Exercise:

      • Increases in breathing and pulse rates to meet heightened oxygen and glucose demands for respiration.

    • Gas Exchange Process:

      • Involves diffusion, with oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output.
      • Different organisms have distinct gas exchange organs (e.g., gills in fish, lungs in humans).

    Lung Adaptations

    • Lung Features for Efficient Gas Exchange:
      • Approximately 700 million alveoli increase surface area.
      • Alveolar walls are one cell thick to facilitate diffusion.
      • Blood capillaries surround alveoli, enhancing gas exchange.

    Oxygen Transportation in the Blood

    • After gas exchange, oxygen binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, changing from dark-brown to bright red.
    • Blood flow and oxygen demand fluctuate based on activity levels (e.g., more when at rest, less during exercise).

    Elephant Seals Adaptation

    • Adaptations allow elephant seals to remain underwater for extended periods (up to 2 hours) due to a spleen that stores oxygen-rich blood.

    Testing for Respiration

    • Carbon dioxide presence is a respiration indicator, easily tested with:

      • Limewater: Turns cloudy and milky in the presence of CO2.
      • Hydrogen Carbonate Indicator: Changes from pink to yellow.
      • pH Measurement: Universal indicator shifts color based on CO2 concentration.

    • A rise in temperature signifies energy release during respiration.

    Gas Exchange in Other Organisms

    • Fish: Extract dissolved oxygen from water using gills.
    • Plants: Utilize stomata for gas exchange, facilitating photosynthesis and aerobic respiration by taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
