Question
Which one of the following movements will be severely and immediately disrupted if the oxygen concentration in the blood becomes extremely low?
A) Glucose from the lumen of the intestine into the villi B) Oxygen from the alveoli into the blood C) Urea from the blood plasma into the nephron D) Water from the blood plasma into muscle cells E) Water from the blood plasma into the nephron
Solution
The movement that will be severely and immediately disrupted if the oxygen concentration in the blood becomes extremely low is B) Oxygen from the alveoli into the blood.
Here's why:
A) Glucose from the lumen of the intestine into the villi - This process is primarily dependent on active transport, which does require oxygen, but the body has other mechanisms to produce energy for this process in the absence of oxygen.
B) Oxygen from the alveoli into the blood - This is the correct answer. Oxygen diffusion from the alveoli into the blood is directly dependent on the concentration of oxygen. If the oxygen concentration in the blood is extremely low, this process will be immediately affected.
C) Urea from the blood plasma into the nephron - This process is not directly dependent on oxygen levels.
D) Water from the blood plasma into muscle cells - This process is primarily dependent on osmosis and not directly affected by oxygen levels.
E) Water from the blood plasma into the nephron - This process is also primarily dependent on osmosis and not directly affected by oxygen levels.
