105. Every living cell in the human body must have an energy supply. Cells take up glucose or a related chemical
and break it down inside the mitochondria to get ATP. ATP is the form of energy that cells use for their various
activities. The breakdown of glucose occurs in the process of aerobic respiration. A summary of this process is
shown in the following equation (note that this is not a balanced equation):
C6H12O6 + O2 « CO2 + H2O + ATP
O2, which is a gas, is consumed in this process, and CO2, also a gas, is produced. Trace the pathway of a
molecule of O2 from the location where it enters the human body, across any cell membranes it must pass, until
it reaches a muscle cell in the right leg. Then, trace the pathway of a molecule of CO2 from inside that muscle
cell, where it is produced in aerobic respiration, until it leaves the body. Write your answer in the space below
or on a separate sheet of paper.

102. ANS:
a. The contractile vacuole maintains water balance by pumping water outside of the cell. When the salt
concentration outside the cell is very high, water will move from inside to outside the cell—little or no
pumping action is required. When the salt concentration outside the cell is lower than inside, the tendency is
for water to move from outside to inside, necessitating increased pumping action by the vacuole to move
excess water out of the cell.
b. If the contractile vacuole were to stop contracting, the organism would burst open because water would
collect in excess inside of it and the cell membrane would not be strong enough to resist rupturing. This
result would be expected to occur more quickly if the organism were placed in water with a low salt
concentration than it would if the organism were placed in water with a high salt concentration. This is
because water accumulates inside the paramecium more rapidly when it is placed in a low salt environment.

The O2 molecule would enter the body through one of the nostrils, pass through the pharynx, the trachea, and
one of the two bronchi, and then enter a bronchiole in the lung. It would then move into an alveolus and then
move across a cell membrane of the alveolus and enter the blood. Once in the blood, the O2 would move across
the cell membrane into a red blood cell. It would then be transported through the pulmonary vein, which takes
blood from the lungs to the heart. The O2 in the blood would enter the heart in the left atrium, move to the left
ventricle, and then be forced out of the heart into the aorta. The O2 in the blood would then be transported into
smaller arteries, still smaller arterioles, and finally a capillary bed in the muscle in the right leg. The O2 would
then move out of the red blood cell across its cell membrane, and would enter a muscle cell across that cell’s
membrane. A CO2 molecule produced by aerobic respiration in this muscle cell would leave the cell by moving
across the cell membrane and would enter the blood. In the blood, it might move across the cell membrane of a
red blood cell and remain in its cytoplasm. (Alternately, the CO2 might dissolve in the plasma or combine with
water to form bicarbonate ions.) The CO2 in blood would then be transported into venules, and then into veins,
until it returned to the vena cava. From the vena cava, it would reenter the heart. The CO2 in blood would enter
the right atrium of the heart, move to the right ventricle, and then be forced out of the heart into the pulmonary
artery. From there, it would be transported to one of the lungs. In a lung, the CO2 would move out of the red
blood cell by moving across its cell membrane. It would then move across a cell membrane of an alveolus.
From the alveolus, the CO2 would pass through a bronchiole, a bronchus, the trachea, and the pharynx, and
would then leave the body through one of the nostrils.

106. ANS:
Major themes are the diversity and unity of life, the interdependence of organisms, and the evolution of life.
Diversity and unity refers to the many different kinds of organisms that share similar characteristics even
though the organisms themselves are so different. Interdependence refers to ecology and the interaction of
organisms with each other and the environment. Evolution refers to changes in species over time.

Protein channels that assist the diffusion of substances through the cell membrane do so by facilitated diffusion.
Facilitated diffusion works in two directions. As long as a molecule or ion fits into the channel, it is free to pass
through in either direction. Each kind of molecule or ion diffuses toward the side where it is least concentrated,
eventually balancing the concentrations. Active transport, on the other hand, allows ions to move through the
cell membrane in one direction only, like a turnstile at a subway station. Active transport enables a cell to
stockpile certain substances in far greater concentrations than they occur outside the cell. Almost all active
transport in cells is carried out by the sodium-potassium pump.

The remaining 70 percent combines with water in the blood to form carbonic acid (H2CO3) inside red blood
cells. Because carbonic acid is unstable, hydrogen (H+) and bicarbonate (HCO3–) ions quickly form, and the
CO2 is transported through the blood in the form of bicarbonate ions. When the blood reaches the lungs,
chemical reactions that reverse the process occur, releasing carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide diffuses from
the blood into the alveoli in the lungs. It is then exhaled with water vapor.

The autonomic nervous system, which carries messages to muscles and glands that usually work without our
noticing, enables the nervous system to govern homeostasis within the body. We have voluntary control over
some functions, such as breathing, that are generally regulated by the autonomic nervous system. Any
voluntary control of the autonomic nervous system that endangers life disturbs the homeostasis of the brain
tissue, causing unconsciousness. Once the body is unconscious and no longer has voluntary control, the
autonomic nervous system takes over and restores normal functioning—in this case, breathing.
