Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The partial pressure of the dissolved gas is the product of its coefficient of solubility and the par-tial pressure of the gas to which the liquid is exposed. Oxygen and carbon dioxide transport can change significantly with changes in body temperature or the pressure to which the body is ex-posed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The most important physiologic characteristic of solutions is their ability to exert pressure.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
