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.
