2 Asthma is a condition in which a stimulus causes the pathways of the lung to become constricted so that the volume of air entering and leaving the lungs is severely diminished An experiment was performed where the tidal volume amount of air exhaled during one breath and saliva were collected from guinea pigs that were exposed to air containing different essential oils some of which have been linked to asthma Salivary samples were collected hourly for a 5 hour period The level of 8 Valerolactam was also measured to assess its use as a biomarker for asthma All levels were averaged for each experimental group and the data were reported in the tables below Table 1 Mean levels of Tidal flow and Salivary 8 Valerolactam b c d Essential oil Tidal flow ml k B Salivary 8 Valerolactam levels ng mL Unscented 5 8 0 1 Essential oil Tidal flow ml k B Salivary 8 Valerolactam levels ng mL Unscented 0 2 Pine 10 pp B 5 3 0 1 0 3 Pine 100 pp B 5 4 Pine 10 pp B 0 5 0 1 1 Table 2 Simplified Estuary Model SEM for Tidal flow and Salivary 8 Valerolactam Pine 100 pp B 0 1 Juniper 10 pp B 2 1 0 2 122 Juniper 100 pp B 1 4 Juniper 10 pp B 0 1 20 324 Juniper 100 pp B 0 3 27 a Identify which organelle within the cell would be the most closely affected by asthma and explain how a major process occurring within that organelle would be affected Construct a bar graph showing the Tidal flow for the control and the highest concentrations of both pine and juniper Show error bars as 2x the Simplified Estuary Model SEM Biomarkers are a way for lab clinicians to test patients for an ailment Explain why Salivary 8 Valerolactam could be used as a biomarker for asthma Predict the effect of a 50 50 essential oil mixture containing the highest levels of pine and juniper measured on
