Thyroxine is a hormone that is  secreted by the thyroid gland to the blood stream. BMR is the basal metabolic rate that is affected by the levels of thyroxine hormone in the system. Hypophysectomy is the removal of the pituitary gland from an organism, in this case the rats. BMR rate of the rat seemed to increase with the injection of thyroxine however the BMR was still lower than the BMR of a normal rat with the thyroid gland  and the dose was too low.

Increasing the volume of air that reaches the alveoli and takes part in gas exchange will cause blood pH to:
Karolina [17]

Answer:

B. increase, because the partial pressure of CO2 in the blood will decrease.

Explanation:

The presence of carbon dioxide gas in blood imparts H+ ions due to its reaction with H2O and thereby, lowers down the blood pH.

When more air reaches alveoli, the rate of gaseous exchange is increased. More of the carbon dioxide is removed from the blood and is released out of the body via exhalation.

Removal of carbon dioxide from blood would increase the pH of the blood since the partial pressure of CO2 in the blood would decrease.

How do waves interact with different materials?
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Waves interact with matter in several ways. The interactions occur when waves pass from one medium to another. Besides bouncing back like an echo, waves may bend or spread out when they strike a new medium. These three ways that waves may interact with matter are called reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
