"an advantage of gas exchange in fresh water, compared with gas exchange in air, is that water loss through evaporation across the respiratory surface can be minimized." The primary function of the lungs involving the transfer of oxygen from inhaled air into the blood and the transfer of carbon dioxide from the blood into the exhaled air.
When humans farm large plantation of one cash crop, they reduce the biodiversity of the region because they reduce the genetic diversity of the species in the environment. A reduction in genetic diversity means that the genetic variability of the species is reduced hence there are fewer sub-species in the environment. This ultimately reduces the biodiversity of the ecosystem - which is the variability among all the living organisms in the environment.
Answer:
The left side of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary vein and pumps it into the aorta, while the right side of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the vena cava and pumps it into the pulmonary vein. The pulmonary vein and aorta also have valves connecting them to their respective ventricle.
Explanation:
Mushroom......A decomposer is something that can be broken down
Vascular plants have a vascular system while nonvascular plants have NO vascular system.
Explanation:
The vascular system is made of phloem – that transports food- and xylem- that transports water and minerals- in the higher plants. Examples of these higher plants are like trees and shrubs. These plants can take up water and nutrients from the soil and transport them up the plants to the leaves.
Lower plants have no vascular system (avascular). They mainly absorb food and water readily from their environment even through their leaves. This is why these plants are mainly found in humid areas like waterways, like canals. Examples of such lower plats are ferns and mosses.
