Three reasons why save sperm whales?
becuase of the whales co2 tolerant blood and becuase of lactic acid fermentation, whales (like the sperm whale) are able to eat deep sea squid and fish.
How might being able to dive into very deep water be an advantage for whales?
Because of the whale's CO2 tolerant blood and because of lactic acid fermentation, whales (like the sperm whale) are able to dive down deep to eat deep sea squid and fish. Scource: I'm learning this at one of the best high schools in the USA
What happens when you have dirty blood?
it is blood that has co2
Does hyperventilation raise or lower blood sugar blood CO2 concentration?
does nothing to blood sugar, and lowers co2 to almost nothing.
How would the movement of CO2 be affected if the concentration of CO2 in the lungs was equal or higher than the concentration in the blood?
If the concentration of CO2 in the lungs was higher or equal the concentration in the blood, there will be no diffusion of CO2 in the air of the lungs. The person will suffocate in this situation.
Oxygen diffuse into the blood at the alveoli?
Carbon dioxide does.
Place where blood changes from low CO2 to high CO2?
veins
What is co2 blood level?
CO2 in the blood stream can be measured from bicarbonate in the blood or pCO2 (partial pressure). Normal CO2 measured from bicarbonate is 22-28 mEq/L Normal pCO2 is 35-45 mmHg
What carries o2 and co2 in the blood?
Red blood cells.
What is hypocapnemia?
raised blood co2
What does deoxygenated blood mean?
Deoxyganated blood means blood that doesn't have oxygen.
What is the relationship between increased blood co2 and respiratory rate and depth?
The higher the respiratory rate and deeper the breaths the lower the blood CO2.
