Pepsin, the precursor to the gastric enzyme for protein digestion, is secreted by parietal cells.  

Red blood cells lack mitochondria. As a result, you would expect any ATP produced in the red blood cell to be produced strictly through the process of ______.   

Given questions #1-12 above, select four statements you correctly identified as “false” and re-write them to make them “true”. As you select a statement to re-write, be sure to write the original question number (Example: “I am re-writing question #7” or simply “#7”). If you do not properly reference your response as instructed, then no points shall be awarded. When re-writing your false statements, keep each statement to one sentence. You should be able to modify a false statement to make it true by changing just a word or two. Changing a false statement to simply include “not” or “don’t” (etc) is not properly re-writing a false statement and shall not be accepted. Further, when re-writing your false statements, the modified true statement should pertain directly to course materials only. If you re-write more than four statements, only the first four statements will be graded (even if an error is made in re-writing one of the first four statements and a later statement has been re-written properly).

This question is a two part question. When answering each of the two parts of this question, please be sure to properly label your answers to include “1” and “2” so as to ensure your instructor can determine the individual answers to each of the two parts. If you do not label your answers to the individual parts of the question, then no credit shall be awarded. PART 1: Name the structure highlighted in blue and labeled “A” in the image below.  PART 2: According to course materials only, describe the function of the structure labeled “A” in the image below.

What is the name of the structure being reflected in the image below?   

ESSAY QUESTION #2 According to the course materials only, write out the bicarbonate buffering system equation as it pertains to respiratory regulation of H+, explain each of the three parts of the equation (left side, middle, and right side), then discuss how the equation works in conditions of high blood plasma pH, as well as low blood plasma pH. Only details about the bicarbonate buffering system equation discussed in the course lecture video shall be accepted. (10pts) NOTE: When writing your essay response, remember that points shall be assigned for the use of proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. I further expect to see well-constructed sentences with no errors in mechanics. Further, I am not looking for what Google or Chat GPT (or other generative AI programs) provide you as an answer to this question. Only responses derived from material taken from the course lecture video shall be accepted.
