Answer: Water can become a non-renewable resource if we contaminate all our rivers.

Explanation: For example, as groundwater is usually removed from an aquifer at a rate much greater than its very slow natural recharge, it is a considered non-renewable resource. Removal of water from the pore spaces in aquifers may cause permanent compaction (subsidence) that cannot be renewed.

Answer:

<h2> WATER RESOURCES:</h2>

<u> AS BOTH RENEWABLE AND NON </u><u>RENEWABLE</u><u> </u>

Water can be considered a renewable material when carefully controlled usage, treatment, and release are followed. If not, it would become a non-renewable resource at that location.

For example, as groundwater is usually removed from an aquifer at a rate much greater than its very slow natural recharge, it is a considered non-renewable resource.

Removal of water from the pore spaces in aquifers may cause permanent compaction (subsidence) that cannot be renewed. 97.5% of the water on the Earth is salt water, and 3% is fresh water; slightly over two thirds of this is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. The remaining unfrozen freshwater is found mainly as groundwater, with only a small fraction (0.008%) present above ground or in the air.

Water is not replenished like most renewable resources and instead—reused. If we were constantly losing water, then the speed at which water forms wouldn't be very sustainable, and would then be considered a nonrenewable resource.

Potable, fresh water can become a non renewable resource if we contaminate all our water tables and rivers, which we are working on.

Humans, like other organisms, require energy for growth and repair. When cells create ATP for energy, carbon dioxide is produced

ad-work [718]

Answer:

The circulatory and respiratory systems interact to transport carbon dioxide to the lungs, where it is expelled from the body.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide produced by the cells and tissues during cellular respiration is removed from the body through the interaction of the circulatory and respiratory system. The medium of transport of carbon dioxide is the blood which carries to the lungs, where it is expelled from the body in ordernto maintain homeostasis in the body.

Carbon dioxide molecules are transported in the blood from body tissues to the lungs in three ways:

1. Dissolution directly into the blood - due to its greater solubility in blood than oxygen, carbon dioxide is dissolved in blood plasma. On reaching the lungs, it leaves the blood by diffusion and is then expelled out of the body.

2. Binding to hemoglobin - carbon dioxide binds reversibly with haemoglobin in the red blood cells to form a molecule called carbaminohemoglobin. When it reaches the lungs, the carbon dioxide freely dissociate from the hemoglobin and is expelled from the body.

3. Carried as a bicarbonate ion - the majority of carbon dioxide molecules are carried as part of the bicarbonate buffer system. In this system, carbon dioxide diffuses into the red blood cells. The enzyme carbonic anhydrase within the red blood cells quickly converts the carbon dioxide into carbonic acid (H2CO3) which then dissociates into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. The bicarbonate ions leaves the red blood cells in exchange for chloride ions in the plasma. The bicarbonate ions then travel in plasma to the lungs, where they enter the red blood cells again. It combines with hydrogen ions from the haemoglobin to form carbonic acid. Carbonic anhydrase breaks carbonic acid down into water and carbon dioxide which is then expelled from the lungs.

Assume that the red blood cell counts of women are normally distributed with a mean of 4.577 million cells per microliter and a

postnew [5]

Answer: C. 82.26%

Explanation:

Given : The red blood cell counts of women are normally distributed with

$\mu=4.577\text{ million cells per microliter}$

$\sigma=0.382\text{ million cells per microliter}$

Let X be the random variable that represents the red blood cell counts of randomly selected woman.

Z-score : $z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

For X=4.2

$z=\dfrac{4.2-4.577}{0.382}\approx-0.99$

For X=5.4

$z=\dfrac{5.4-4.577}{0.382}\approx2.1544$

Now, the probability that the women have red blood cell counts in the normal range from 4.2 to 5.4 million cells per microliter will be :-

$P(4.2$

Hence, 82.26% of women have red blood cell counts in the normal range from 4.2 to 5.4 million cells per microliter.
