The respiratory structure that contracts and relaxes to allow air to flow in and out of the lungs is option(c) i.e, the diaphragm.

<h3>What is the diaphragm?</h3>

The diaphragm, a delicate skeletal muscle that separates the chest from the belly, is located at the base of the chest. When you breathe in, it flattens and shrinks. As a result, the lungs experience a vacuum effect that draws air in. The diaphragm relaxes and the air is forced out of the lungs when you exhale.

signs of diaphragm issues:

  • Acid reflux, heartburn, coughing, and difficulty swallowing.
  • alterations to skin tone (skin may turn blue).
  • rapid heartbeat, pressure in the chest, and/or breathing difficulties (especially when lying down).
  • Headaches.
  • Hiccups that persist or recur frequently.

Patients who need surgery for conditions affecting the chest, including diaphragm issues, are treated by a thoracic surgeon.

A protein that contains more isoleucine, phenylalanine and leucine than asparagine, lysine and arginine is most likely ________.
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Hydrophobic, Hydrophobic.

Explanation:

  • Proteins are made up of polypeptide chains which are formed by the polymerization of amino acid molecules, linked together by peptide bonds.
  • The amino acids can be broadly classified into non-polar and polar.
  • The non-polar amino acids can be defined as those amino acids whose side chains possess hydrocarbon molecules only. They do not possess any charge and are incapable of forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules. They tend to avoid water and so they tend to remain buried into the interior of a protein. Examples can be illustrated as Leucine, Valine, Isoleucine, Phenylalanine, etc.
  • The polar amino acids can be defined as those amino acids whose side chains either possess a charge (positive or negative) or a hydroxyl group which is capable of forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules. As they tend to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules they are usually found on the surface of the proteins. Examples can be illustrated as Lysine, Arginine, Serine, Asparagine, etc.

4. (a) Primary production is the production of carbon compounds from carbon dioxide, generally by photosynthesis. Study
Stels [109]

The graph is showing how primary production decreases as deep increases. It is due to the amount of available light in the water.

<h3>Primary production on the ocean</h3>

The primary production in the ocean is performed by microorganisms known as phytoplankton.

Phytoplankton populations are primary producers that include bacteria and algae, which use photosynthesis to produce biomass and release oxygen.

In a similar manner to plants, phytoplankton communities also contain chlorophyll in order to convert sunlight into biomass.

As ocean deep increases, the amount of available light in the water decreases, thereby also decreasing the primary production of the phytoplankton populations.
