Cellular respiration is the process of oxidation of nutrients in the presence of oxygen. The process releases the energy of nutrients which in turn is stored in the form of ATP molecules.

Please answer questions 2-9. 1) Oxygen diffuses into both a red blood cell and conditions (temperature, same external concentration of oxygen, etc.). Defend your answer. Oxygen is reactive with hemoglobin and generates oxyhemoglobin, which transports oxygen to the tissues under low temperature, high pH, and enhanced oxygen pressure circumstances. Oxyhemoglobin releases oxygen when the reaction is reversible in the opposite situation. RBCs assist in the cellular respiration of the cells found throughout the body, but because they lack mitochondria, they are unable to carry out respiration on their own. Glycolysis is necessary for RBCs. The platelets produced by megakaryocytes have the shape of fragmented cytoplasm with surface proteins attached to aid in clotting. Platelets are not involved in the transfer of oxygen. Therefore, oxygen diffusion and transport carried out by hemoglobin are more effective in RBCs than in megakaryocytes. RBCs will therefore have a higher oxygen flow than megakaryocytes. 2) Considering the scenario in the previous question, explain your answer. 4) Suppose that substance X is present at a higher concentration outside of the cell and that after a time its concentration inside the cell increases. Name two things that you would want to know about substance X to determine whether it is diffusing on its own (simple diffusion) or diffusing through the membrane using a carrier protein (facilitated diffusion). 5) Red blood cells are suspended in a solution of NaCl. The cells have an osmolarity of 300 mOsM and the solution has an osmolarity of 250 mOsM. Is this solution hypertonic, isotonic, or hypotonic? Would water move into the cells, out of the cells, or not at all? Briefly explain your answer. 6) (a) What is the difference between osmolarity and osmolality? (b) In clinical situations, the term osmolality is typically used rather than osmolarity. Suppose a baby girl was weighed at the doctor's office on a Friday but experienced severe diarrhea and vomiting over the weekend. Her mother brought her into the doctor's office the following Monday. How do you suppose the doctor can determine how much fluid was lost and therefore needs to be replaced? 7) What are two things that both primary and secondary active transport have in common? 8) (a) What is an arteriovenous fistula? (b) Why is it important for hemodialysis? 9) Na+ concentration outside neurons is about 145 mM, whereas its concentration inside neurons is about 15 mM. Why does Na+
