An aviator is flying at 30,000 ft where the barometric pressure is 226 mm Hg. He is breathing 100% oxygen, his alveolar PCO2 is 40 mm Hg, and his alveolar water vapor pressure is 47 mm Hg. What is the alveolar PO2 of the aviator (in mm Hg)? (Assume that the respiratory quotient is equal to 1.)

In angiosperm plants, flower morphology can be very intricate. If a tree, such as a New Mexico locust, has flowers that share many morphological intricacies with flowers of the sweet pea vine, then the most likely explanation for these floral similarities is the same general explanation for the similarities between the

The common ancestors of birds and mammals were very early (stem) reptiles, which almost certainly possessed 3-chambered hearts (2 atria, 1 ventricle). Birds and mammals, however, are alike in having 4-chambered hearts (2 atria, 2 ventricles). The 4-chambered hearts of birds and mammals are best described as
