Explain why multicellular organisms require a ventilation system??

Biology

Ventilation maintains a steep concentration gradient, blood at the exchange surface usually has lower O2 and higher CO2 content than the air (of for fish, the water) at the exchange surface. This is what allows for diffusion of O2 into the blood and CO2 out of the blood. Multicellular organisms have a greater number of cells so will have a higher energy demand than single cellular organisms, this demand can only be met by allowing the cells to respire, a ventilation system brings oxygen molecules which are a raw product of respiration into the hemoglobin of the blood to be transported to tissues. As surface area : volume ratio is very low so if there was no ventilation system and the organism instead relied on exchange of materials through the exposed skin it would be very difficult to met the high energy demand as less O2 and CO2 would be able to be exchanged.

In multicellular organisms, the division of labor provided by these bodies grouped into specialized devices imposes a number of constraints.

One of the constraints is that it is necessary for all cells in the body to be well supplied with both nutrients and oxygen. The transition to multicellularity requires the establishment of a circulatory system and a respiratory system for the supply and purification systems for the disposal of waste.

The amount of oxygen required to breathe depends on:

Ratio surface / volume plus it is small and the intake by the respiratory system must be important.

The depth of the cells, which evolves proportionally with the oxygen supply required.

The number of cells that also evolves proportionally with the oxygen supply required.

Why is special creation not considered a scientific explanation for the diversity of life on earth?
Rufina [12.5K]
Special Creation is a term that can be interpreted a number of ways, just as evolution can. One interpretation called Young Earth Creationism, YEC, erroneously discounts much of the physics, chemistry, biology and wealth of data that science has observed. Most pronounced is the proposition that the universe is only ~<10 k years old. Because of this, it is not considered scientific. When applied to the diversity of life, YEC's believe all life is the result of special creation events made in less than one week of time, countering the long times for organism development and progression that science has observed. YECs account for the origin of all life through special creation, while science presently has no explanation naturalistically for the origin of life. YECs do not recognize evolution, science presently considers evolution through natural selection, as the source of all living entities. While evolution is fatally flawed in explaining how life has progressed, YECs compress all life development, despite the long period of time indicated scientifically.

An alternate special creation model accepts the long era of Earth formation and life's creation and progression, attributes the origin of life to God's intelligent designed cellular functionality, considers all of the fossil evidence showing stages of radiation events, stasis and extinction as God bioformed the Earth using common design for the eventual consciously intelligent humans.

What are the 1st and 2nd line of defence of plant against pathogens?
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: These may be:

  • physical defenses  (1st line)
  • chemical defenses (2nd line)

Explanation:

Plants employ several methods in order to defend themselves from pathogens. These may be physical defenses or chemical ones. Several have adaptations to their surfaces that prevent the entry of pathogens, called physical barriers such as

  • thick waxy cuticles
  • thorns, which are modified plant branches
  • spines, which are modified plant leaves
  • gall production at infected sites to prevent pathogenic spread

Chemical defenses include the production or secretion of:

  • defensins
  • antimicrobials such as tannins or resins
  • gum at areas facing pathogenic attacks
