After Frida stops exercising, she continues to breathe heavily. What is most likely occurring in her body? Heavy breathing during exercise has produced an oxygen surplus in her muscles. This oxygen is being transported to her lungs. This is a result of aerobic respiration. Heavy breathing during exercise has produced a carbon dioxide surplus in her muscles. Lactate is being transported to her liver. This is a result of aerobic respiration. Strenuous exercise has caused her body to be in carbon dioxide debt, and she is breathing hard while lactate is transported to the liver. This is a result of anaerobic respiration. Strenuous exercise has caused her body to be in oxygen debt, and she is breathing hard while lactate is transported to the liver. This is a result of anaerobic respiration.

During exercise when the body lacks an adequate supply of oxygen to support energy production, the pyruvate that is produced from the breakdown of glucose is converted into lactate. High lactate levels can lead to acidity in the muscle cells as some of the lactate hydrolyzes to lactic acid. The dissociation of lactic acid to lactate is shown in the reaction. Lactic acid has a pKa of 3.86. A solution containing a mixture of lactic acid and lactate was found to have a pH of 4.06. Calculate the ratio of the lactate concentration to the lactic acid concentration in this solution. [lactate] / [lactic acid] = 1.99

Rightarrow Snorkeling by humans and elephants. When a person snorkels, the lungs are connected directly to the atmosphere through the snorkel tube and thus are at atmospheric pressure. In atmospheres, what is the difference $\Delta p$ between this internal air pressure and the water pressure against the body if the length of the snorkel tube is (a) $20 \mathrm{~cm}$ (standard situation) and (b) $4.0 \mathrm{~m}$ (probably lethal situation)? In the latter. the pressure difference causes blood vessels on the walls of the lungs to rupture, releasing blood into the lungs. As depicted in Fig. $14-31,$ an elephant can safely snorkel through its trunk while swimming with its lungs $4.0 \mathrm{~m}$ below the water surface because the membrane around its lungs contains connective tissue that holds and protects the blood vessels, preventing rupturing.
