Is rate of respiration in a big animal same as small animal?

Biology

Sidana [21]3 years ago

The respiration rate is much higher in smaller organisms.  Larger organisms metabolize at a slower rate than smaller ones probably because smaller organisms are continuing to grow and therefore growing at a faster rate.  So, small organisms produce excess carbon dioxide.

How can reproductive barriers form sympatric populations while their members remain in the same geographic area?
grandymaker [24]

Answer: Polyploidy

Explanation:

Polyploidy is defined as the phenomenon by which cells, tissues or organisms with three or more complete sets of chromosomes originate. Such cells, tissues or organisms are called polyploids.

If the genomes of a polyploid species come from the same ancestral species, it is said to be autopolyploid or autoploid. And if they come from two different ancestral species, it is said to be allopolyploid or alloploid. <u>Depending on the number of complete chromosome sets that the species has it is called triploid (3X), tetraploid (4X), pentaploid (5X), hexaploid (6X) and so on, where X is the monoploid number, and not to be confused with the haploid number. </u>

Redundant genetic elements of polyploid organisms can be transformed into single copies by sub-functionalization, neofunctionalization mechanisms or by the appearance of certain mutations.

<u>Two populations are sympatric when they exist in the same area and thus frequently encounter one another. </u>In general, different species cannot interbreed and produce healthy and fertile offspring due to barriers known as reproductive isolation mechanisms.  Polyploidy speciation is common in plants but rare in animals. So, animal species are much less tolerant of changes in ploidy. For example, human embryos that are triploid or tetraploid are not viable, cannot survive.

Dr.Mendez specializes in patients who have osteoarthritis. His patients often complain of pain and swelling loss of cartilage. W
AlekseyPX

Answer: skeletal system

Explanation: osteoarthritis affects the cartilages of Bones.cartilages is a flexible connective tissue ,in a joint that covers the surface of the bones in the joint.it also cushions the bones from impact.

During osteoarthritis,the cartilages wears out and causes the bones in the joint to rub against each other causing swollen joints, painful joints and stiffness of joints

It occurs in joints of the knees,hips,fingers and toes.

Alcohol and other psychoactive drugs affect which parts of the brain? #1. primitive brain #2. reasoning center of the new brain
pogonyaev
The part of the brain which is affected is reasoning center of the new brain. Drinking alcohol also decreases motor function and slow reaction time, this is why when a person is drunk, he/she may not be able to stand or walk a straight line. Psychoactive drug or psychotropic substance is a chemical substance that acts primarily upon the central nervous system where it alters brain function resulting in temporary changes in perception, mood, consciousness and behavior.
