All life respires, or breathes. Respiration in mammals is similar to respiration in other air-breathing animals. Respiration extracts oxygen from the air, which is then used by cells. Respiration also carries waste carbon dioxide away from the cells. Although respiration depends on other systems, like the circulatory system, to take oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from cells, the respiratory system has the primary responsibility of bringing oxygen in to a mammal's body and sending carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Mammalian respiration occurs in the animal’s respiratory system. A respiratory system is made up of muscles and airways that work to bring fresh air into lungs where oxygen is exchanged in blood for carbon dioxide. The airways are often lined with hairs or other structures that help to clean the air of dust and microbes before it enters the lungs.

Describ how animals receive their energy indirectly from plants?
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

PLANTS are 'PRODUCERS' of energy. They use SUNLIGHT + water, minerals and carbon dioxide to make energy. ... To get energy animals need to eat. They get their energy INDIRECTLY from the from the sun by eating other organisms.

Consider a locus with two alleles - B and b. B is dominant, while b is recessive. There is no mutation. B has a selective advant
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

0.09

Explanation:

<h3><u>Before selection</u></h3>

Total number in population = 1000

Genotype frequencies

Genotype frequency of BB = 500/1000 = 0.5

Genotype frequency of Bb = 250/1000 = 0.25

Genotype frequency of bb = 250/1000 = 0.25

Allele frequencies

Allele frequency of B = BB genotype frequency + half of the Bb genotype frequency = 0.5 + (0.25/2) = 0.625

Allele frequency of b = bb genotype frequency + half of the Bb genotype frequency = 0.25 + (0.25/2) = 0.375

<h3><u>After selection</u></h3>

We are told that after selection, the genotype frequency of bb is changed as they become 50% less fit. This means the frequency of bb individuals changes from 250 to 125 individuals (50% reduction).

Now the total number of individuals is 500 + 125 + 250 = 875.

Genotype frequencies

Genotype frequency of BB = 500/875 = 0.57

Genotype frequency of Bb = 250/875 = 0.29

Genotype frequency of bb = 125/875 = 0.14

Allele frequencies

Allele frequency of B = BB genotype frequency + half of the Bb genotype frequency = 0.57 + (0.29/2) = 0.715

Allele frequency of b = bb genotype frequency + half of the Bb genotype frequency = 0.14 + (0.29/2) = 0.285

<h3><u>Change in frequency of B after 1 generation</u></h3>

0.715 - 0.625 = 0.09

When a motor neuron and the skeletal muscle cell it innervates are at rest:?
Nuetrik [128]

<span>Particularly the skeletal muscles at rest gain most of their energy from the aerobic respiration of fatty acids. Hence fatty acids provide the majority of the energy for muscle metabolism when a person is exercising at 25% of VO2max. However, the motor neuron is at rest when a neuron is not receiving any input there will be a potential difference. Thus, the potential difference measured when the neuron is inactive and it is caled the resting membrane potential. </span>

write a 5-7 paragraph explaining what you think is happening to the earths co2 levels through the year.
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Climate change has been described as one of the biggest problems faced by humankind. Carbon dioxide is is the primary driver of global warming. Prof Joanna Haigh from Imperial College London explains why this gas has played a crucial role in shaping the Earth's climate.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) has been present in the atmosphere since the Earth condensed from a ball of hot gases following its formation from the explosion of a huge star about five billion years ago.

At that time the atmosphere was mainly composed of nitrogen, CO2 and water vapour, which seeped through cracks in the solid surface. A very similar composition emerges from volcanic eruptions today.

As the planet cooled further some of the water vapour condensed out to form oceans and they dissolved a portion of the CO2 but it was still present in the atmosphere in large amounts.
