Out of the following given choices;

a. they increase the amount of energy transferred from the lungs to the blood

b. they increase the flexibility of the lungs as they expand during inhalation

c. they increase the volume of the lungs, allowing more oxygen to be inhaled

d. they increase the surface area of the lungs, allowing the efficient gas exchange

The answer is D. Due to their microscopic nature, they are numerous in the lungs and are also circular-shaped so as to increase the surface area for gaseous exchange. Other characteristics of alveoli that increase gas exchange are that they thinned-walled (with only a layer of cells) and moist.

Agricultural practices relating to irrigation have the tendency to reduce the water level of river basins.

<h3>What are the effects of irrigation agriculture on river basins?</h3>

Irrigation agriculture requires that crops are watered artificially and this requires a water source. Hence, waters in river basins suffer and this leads to a reduction in their levels.

Water quality is impacted by agricultural practices such as the use of agrochemicals and fertilizers. Agrochemicals are washed into water bodies and this impacts biodiversity life in water.

One conservation strategy to reduce the impact of this kind of agricultural practice would be to practice organic farming. A farming practice that is devoid of using agrochemicals or the ones that are not poisonous to biodiversity and are biodegradable.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

       The right answer to this question is option D. Convergent evolution.

Explanation:

       Convergent evolution is a process defined by when an organism develops the same, or at least near that, characteristics, for a specific reason, but they don't have the same origin. In this case, the cacti in both deserts have pretty much the same characteristics, and this happens because both these plants need water to survive, and in order to save it, they have barrel-shaped stems, short-lived leaves, and spines. All of these things help them in saving the water and capturing it when it's possible.

        The convergent evolution is when both these organisms develop equally, but are not originally from the same place, the environment being the one to shape this.
