Carbon Dioxide Fixation in Marine Invertebrates*

Carbon dioxide fixation has not been studied extensively in the invertebrate animal groups. In an early study Van Niel et al. (1) with Cl1 showed fixation of COZ into succinic acid in the protozoan Tetrahymena geleii. Hultin and Wessel (2) studied incorporation of C% into proteins of developing sea urchin eggs (Psammechinus miliaris) with attention on metabolic patterns of development rather th...

Carbon dioxide fixation in the brain.

Upon intracarotid administration of ammonia to cats, there is a significant increase of cerebral glutamine without a corresponding decrease in the level of cerebral glutamic acid (3). Similar observations in dogs have been reported by others (4). Since the supply of glutamic acid from the circulating blood is insufficient for the formation of the additional amount of glutamine, the dicarboxylic...

The Diffusion of Carbon Dioxide in Tissues

1. Two methods are given for measuring the rate of diffusion of CO(2) in tissue membranes. Methods are also given for the determination of tissue thickness and the absorption coefficient for CO(2) in tissues. 2. The values obtained for the permeability constant (P x 10(4)) at 22 degrees C. for CO(2) in the following tissues are:-frog skin, 3.05; connective tissue (dog), 2.65; smooth muscle (cat...
